आरोग्यम् परमं भाग्यं स्वास्थ्यं सर्वार्थ साधनम्। सर्वारोग्य प्रदातारं नमामि दिव्य वैद्यनुत्।।
व्यायामात् लभते स्वास्थ्यं दीर्घायुष्यं बलं सुखं। आरोग्यं परमं भाग्यं स्वास्थ्यं सर्वार्थसाधनम्॥
पुनर्वित्तं पुनर्मित्रं पुनर्भार्या पुनर्मही। एतत्सर्वं पुनर्लभ्यं न शरीरं पुनः पुनः।।
भोजनाग्रे सदा पथ्यं लवणाद्रकभक्षणम्। अग्निसन्दीपनम् रूच्यं जिह्वाकण्ठविशोधनं।।
Arthritis is a prevalent ailment that affects over 54 million adults in the United States, which is approximately one in five individuals. The condition manifests itself in the form of joint pain in various parts of the body such as the knees, hips, fingers, ankles, and shoulders. Arthritis is a common cause of joint pain and can lead to a reduction in the quality of life for those affected.

Arthritis has several types, each with distinct symptoms and treated in unique ways. While it is most common in older adults, it can develop in anyone regardless of age or gender. Fortunately, Ayurvedic medicine offers hope through its array of therapeutic options. Let’s take a closer look at how Ayurveda can be used to bring relief and respite from the painful effects of arthritis.
The most common types of arthritis include:
