Swelling is usually caused by an injury, in which case it is temporary. Swelling due to problems in the joints can last for a long time and can be very painful. The joints in the body connect bones. Joints are present in the knees, ankles, feet, arms, hips, and other such parts. There are tissues that act as a cushion for the joints and protect them. Due to various reasons, fluid accumulates in the joint tissues. This causes swelling and leads to pain. There are various reasons for swelling, it could be due to arthritis, gout, or any other illness.
The musculoskeletal system is the system composed of bones and muscles. They work together to move the body. The joints are critical to this ability to move. Most joint problems cause stiffness causing the inability to move. When the joints become inflamed they also become swollen.
Ayurveda uses the concept of doshas to explain how diseases occur. There are three Doshas; Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The Vata Dosha is an airy Dosha. The Pitta Dosha is hot and fiery and the Kapha is cold and heavy. Imbalance in the Vata dosha can affect the joints and the bones. The joints connect bones and have empty space (air) that is associated with Vata. Asthi dhatu refers to the bone tissue, while the nerves are called majja dhatu. These tissues have a relation to the joints.
Joints are lubricated by a fluid known as shleshmaka Kapha. All the tissues need nutrition and this brings us to the concept of Agni or digestive fire. When digestion is efficient, the nutrients from the ingested food is absorbed by the body that nourish all the tissues. The fluids in the joints also need nourishment. This process of digestion can only be efficient when the Agni in the body is strong. Improper diet and problems in the digestive system weaken the Agni. Agni is stronger when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. This is why Ayurvedic tradition recommends the heaviest meal to be taken at midday. When the Agni is weak, the process of metabolism becomes inefficient. This allows ama or toxins to be formed in the body. Ama is located in the digestive tract and is kept under check.
When Agni becomes weak, ama moves around in the body and occupies the empty space in the joints. This causes swelling in the joints and leads to severe pain. Vyana Vata is associated with joints that are not nourished well. A cracking sound can be heard in the joints due to the shleshaka Kapha drying up. This reduces lubrication and causes the cracking sound. If this problem is not resolved, it will lead to the joints becoming immobile completely.
The medicine to reduce swelling in Ayurveda depends on the cause. Haritaki, Amalaki, Bibhitaki are some of the ayurvedic medicines used to treat swelling and joint pain. Some other recommended treatments are:
There are different causes of swelling. They include:
Arthritis is one of the most common reasons for swelling of the joints. In Osteoarthritis, the swelling is because of the wear and tear of the cartilage tissue. This makes bones rub against each other causing swelling. In Rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system attacks the joint membranes due to a disorder. This leads to fluid buildup and swelling.
Gout is another condition where uric acid crystals may be deposited in the joint to problems with the excretion of uric acid. This causes swelling and severe pain.
Other diseases like spondylitis, sarcoidosis, and lupus also cause inflammation and joint swelling.
