Understanding Joint Pain in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, joint pain is primarily caused by an imbalance of Vata dosha and the accumulation of Ama (toxins) in the joints. This leads to inflammation, stiffness, and degeneration of the cartilage.
At Kaivalya Clinic, Dr. Pralhad Shinde uses a holistic approach. Rather than just offering temporary painkillers, our therapies aim to pacify Vata, clear the toxic Ama, and deeply lubricate and nourish the affected joints using potent medicated oils.
