Joint disorders commonly occur due to aging, improper lifestyle, injury, poor digestion, and accumulation of Ama (toxins) in the body. In Ayurveda, joints are governed mainly by Vata Dosha, which controls movement and flexibility.
When Vata becomes aggravated and Ama accumulates in joints (Sandhi), it causes pain, stiffness, inflammation, and restricted movement. Ayurveda focuses on removing toxins,
reducing inflammation, nourishing joints, and restoring mobility naturally.
