Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints, such as wrists, knees, fingers or hips. The disease is characterized by the pain, stiffness, and swelling of the affected joint. Arthritis can also affect connective tissues and other organs of the body. The chances of having this condition increases with age as your joints get worn down over the years.

Arthritis usually causes pain around your joints but can also manifest the following symptoms:

• Swollen joints
• Redness of the joints
• Tenderness
• Trouble moving
• Problems doing daily tasks

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that develops as a result of strain on a specific joint. It is characterized by progressive loss of cartilage with remodeling of subchondral bone and deformity of the joint involved. The friction at the joint causes pain and joint stiffness that can affect the quality of life.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects joints and tissues. Human body is equipped with a defense mechanism where the foreign invaders like bacteria and virus are removed from the system. In some cases, the immune system attacks the healthy cells in the body including those in the joints. The exact reasons for this condition is still unknown. If the treatment is not initiated early it can lead to cartilage destruction, and in extreme cases, fusion of joints.

Sciatica causes severe pain along the path of the sciatic nerve and typically affects one side of the body. The pain follows the path of the nerve which branches from the lower back, through hips and buttocks down each leg.

Bursitis affects small, fluid filled sacs (Bursae) that support bones, tendons and muscles near the joints. The condition causes inflammation of these sacs.

Trigeminal nerve carries the sensation from the face to the brain. Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that affects this nerve causing jolts of excruciating pain.

Causes of arthritis:

Some of the common causes of arthritis are as follows:

An Ayurvedic Perspective of Arthritis

Arthritis is classified as two types, Sandhigat Vata (Osteoarthritis) and Ama Vat (Rheumatoid Arthritis). Sandhigat Vata is a condition caused by malnutrition aggravating the joints that are already injured by infections or a previous injury. It is a condition where there is pain and swelling in the big joints. As with many other diseases, the process of digestion is important to understand the root cause of the condition. Improper digestion results in the formation of toxins as by-products that accumulate in the digestive system. Vata collects in the colon and can be aggravated by the following:

Aggravated Vata along with Ama is transported into the joints. Together, Vata and Ama destroy the soft tissues in the joints and later damage the bones. The toxins can also clog the channels supplying nutrients thereby causing further damage. The effects on the joints results in the classic symptoms of osteoarthritis which include inflammation, stiffness, pain and swelling.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is caused by the accumulation of toxins and the malfunctioning of the defense mechanism. There is a drastic accumulation of toxins in the body along with an increase in heat (Pitta). The imbalance of these elements affect Ojas (Element of body’s strength and immunity) initiating the disease cascade.

Ama is carried by Vata and reaches sites predominant with Kapha (phlegm) like joints. The sticky toxin clogs micro-channels called ‘srotasa’ that nourish the body. This process not only depletes Ojas but also clogs the channels. The Ama (Toxin) that reaches joints is considered a foreign body resulting in an immune response. This is believed to be the cause of the autoimmune-disease.

Pitta can be aggravated by the following:

Ayurveda follows a holistic approach with the focus on the health of the individual and alleviating the condition. Ayurvedic medicine for arthritis can help in providing relief from the effects of arthritis or help in the prevention of getting it worse. If identified early, the disease can be managed appropriately. The Ayurvedic treatment may focus on improving digestive fire and removing unhealthy elements from the body. Following a healthy diet will be central for improvement. Ayurvedic medicine for joint pain can help in reducing inflammation, swelling and pain. In rheumatoid arthritis, Ayurveda medicine emphasizes on reducing the toxins along with herbs to reduce inflammation and nourish the body to enhance immunity.
