Treatments
Arthritis
Arthritis, known as “Sandhivata” in Ayurveda, is a condition characterized by inflammation and pain in the joints, usually occurring as a result of an imbalance in the Vata dosha. This imbalance leads to the drying up of the synovial fluid, causing friction and discomfort in the joints.
Female problems
Ayurveda offers holistic approaches for addressing female reproductive health issues such as Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), irregular menstrual cycles, and fibroids. These conditions are often attributed to imbalances in the body’s doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), improper diet, lifestyle, and stress.
