Ayurvedic Treatment for Joint Pain at Sujivan Ayurveda

Joint pain is a common condition caused by inflammation, degeneration, injury, or age-related wear and tear. In Ayurveda, joint pain is primarily linked to Vata imbalance, along with accumulation of Ama (toxins) and weakened joint tissues. At Sujivan Ayurveda, joint pain is treated through a holistic Ayurvedic approach that focuses on reducing inflammation, balancing doshas, detoxifying the body, and strengthening joints—rather than only masking pain.

Ayurvedic Herbs for Joint Pain Relief

Ayurveda uses time-tested herbs to reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness:

• Turmeric (Haridra) – Powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant

• Ashwagandha – Strengthens muscles and bones, reduces stress-related pain

• Guggulu – Reduces swelling, pain, and toxin accumulation

• Shallaki (Boswellia serrata) – Protects cartilage and improves joint mobility

• Nirgundi – Relieves joint swelling and stiffness

• Ginger (Sunthi) – Reduces inflammation and supports digestion

(Herbs are prescribed after proper consultation.)
