Understanding the Arthritis
Referred to as Sandhivat as per ayurveda, arthritis is basically a disease related to the bones and joints in the human body. Pain in the joints being one of the key symptoms of this disease, it is accompanied by other painful symptoms as well including redness, swelling, stiffness, restriction of movements, inflammation and edema in the affected joints. To better understand how this disease affects your joints, you need to understand how bones, joints and the muscles actually work.
In order to allow free and effortless movements of the joints, there is cartilage disc that acts as cushioning amidst two bones that prevents any friction or other such problems while carrying out movements such as walking, running, bending and so on. Due to inflammation and tearing caused in the cartilage cushioning as a result of arthritis, the bones start rubbing against each other. As a result of this, the patients start experiencing severe pain and problems in movements.

Owing to same reason, most people advancing towards middle or old age are seen complaining of the problem of osteoarthritis. As per ayurveda, it is quite important to retain the disturbed balance amidst the three key body energies and maintain the same so that various issues such as arthritis that arise due to this imbalance may also be cured automatically.
