Is it just joint pain or Amavat

🔍 What is Amavata?

Amavata is an Ayurvedic condition caused by the accumulation of Ama (undigested toxins) in the body, which combines with Vata dosha and gets lodged in joints and tissues.
This leads to symptoms like:

🔹 Pain and swelling in multiple joints

🔹 Morning stiffness

🔹 Loss of appetite

🔹 Body ache and fatigue

🔹 Sometimes mild fever


It is closely similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis, but Ayurveda views it as a systemic disorder starting from poor digestion.

⚠️ Why Does Amavata Happen?

Root Causes:

Weak digestion (Agnimandya)

Irregular, heavy, or incompatible foods

Sedentary lifestyle

Suppressed natural urges

Excessive stress or exposure to cold

🌿 Ayurvedic Management Approach

Ayurveda doesn’t just treat joint pain — it removes the root cause (Ama) and restores balance in the body.

Stimulates digestion and burns Ama

Herbs: Dry Ginger (Shunthi), Pippali, Trikatu


🔸 2. Swedana (Sudation)

🔸 3. Snehana & Basti (Oil Therapies)

Internal and external oleation + medicated enemas
