Arthritis, a condition nearly affecting 58 million adults globally, can be a major roadblock in your journey. It refers to the stiffness, swelling, and pain targeting the joints and their motion. As common as it sounds, the symptoms of arthritis and its severity usually vary from person to person based on genetics and age.
From an ayurvedic perspective, treating even the most common variations of arthritis, like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, can be dealt with effectively by eliminating the ama or toxins and utilising treatments that combine herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and therapies. Therefore, by choosing the best Ayurveda treatment for arthritis in Kerala, you can cure and care for those affected joints with less time and effort.
The symptoms of arthritis are progressive by nature. Therefore, it is important to take care of its treatment procedure based on its type. These signs and symptoms can vary, but they usually include:
The underlying cause of arthritis is not too specific because it can be genetic, sudden, or from an injury depending on its type.
Understanding and learning about the variants of arthritis is important to learn about its cause and the treatment requirements. Types of arthritis include:
Osteoarthritis: This is also referred to as degenerative joint disease. Arthritis is a type of joint disease, that is associated with a fracture of the connective cartilage across the joint. This is the most common form of arthritis affecting most old people, where there is a movement of the bones against each other owing to the broken down and tattered cartilage.
Rheumatoid arthritis: This is one of the most harmful health diseases caused by improper function of the autoimmunity system. It comes with distinct types of signs, including deformation, pain, and swelling.
Gout: This is a type of arthritis in which there are gouts or inflammation of the soft tissues around the lower limb toe or the toe itself. If this condition persists, its consequences may be dire, and the concentration of urates in the blood may cause kidney troubles.
Psoriatic arthritis: In general, it has the appearance of red or white patches occurring on the fingertips or elbow joints. Psoriatic arthritis is also a type of arthritis that is accompanied by skin inflammation.
Lupus: SLE, or slow increase of lapse, is associated with swelling of the limbs and periorbital area. The main complaints with which patients’ laboratory diagnosis and treatment of SLE often come are pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.
From the viewpoint of Ayurveda, dysfunctional vata explains the pain, swelling, and inflammation around the joint. The abnormal imbalance within these doshas, mainly the aggravated Vata, leads to the accumulation of ama, causing arthritis.
