Ayurvedic Remedies

Joint Health

Ayurveda recognizes three basic types of imbalances with joint health.  Vata type imbalances are associated with degeneration, Pitta type imbalances with inflammation and Kapha type with blockages and swelling.  

 

Vata imbalances can be treated with nourishing and digestive herbs, and pain or blockage with herbs that open blockages, improve circulation and reduce inflammation.

 

Herbal and nutritional approaches work well with body work such as abhyanga and massage along with seasonal detoxification (Panchakarma)
