What is Joint Pain according to Ayurveda?

According to Ayurveda, joint pain occurs due to the imbalance in the functional energy or Dosha in the body, known as Vata. This energy is responsible for movement and spaces, which corresponds to the space between the joints. An imbalance in a form of Vata known as Vyanavata can cause circulation problems. While modern day allopathy medicines may provide immediate relief, they have many side effects that might become a concern. Ayurveda helps to offer safe and natural management for joint pain.

The imbalance in Vata dosha can cause circulation, digestion and ability to absorb food. If these imbalances are not corrected, over time the bone tissue will not receive enough nourishment and eventually will degenerate. A drying effect on the lubricating fluid in the joints causes pain, a cracking sound, and difficulty bending.

Lifestyle and Diet changes to help ease out Joint Pain/ Arthritis

If you have any type of joint problem, you must follow Vata-Pacifying diet and daily routine can help to pacify the dry, rough Vata dosha.

• It's important to include all six tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, astringent and pungent) in your diet, but at the same time favour the sweet, sour and salty tastes, as these helps pacify Vata dosha.
• Eat less bitter, astringent and pungent foods, as these increase roughness and dryness in the body.

• Grains such as quinoa, rye and amaranth, cooked in water with a small amount of ghee (clarified butter)
• Freshly-cooked organic vegetables
• Split moong dal soup
• Sweet, organic, juicy fruits
• It's important to eat a diet rich in calcium, including high-quality organic milk and vegetables such as spinach, kale, asparagus, and collard greens.
• Flavour foods with spices such as turmeric, cumin, ginger, fenugreek, and asafoetida (hing).
• Avoid caffeine and other acidic foods, as these destroy the ability of the body to absorb calcium.
