Introduction
- Inflammatory arthritis is a chronic disease
Arthritis and is a ‘Vata’ disease that affects the joints. - Degeneration, weakening and pain.
- In Ayurveda, bones are considered a ‘Vata’ type element.
Causes of disease
- The factors are internal and external and the disease develops more in windy climates.
- It is due to weak ‘Agni’ and poor digestion which cause the accumulation of ‘Mass’ which goes into the organs, joints, bones, cells…
- Poor functioning of the colon allows toxins to be transported to the joints and joints
Immune system imbalance
Treatment
- In Ayurveda, bones reflect the health of the colon and it is therefore this that will need to be treated.
If constipation: take 2 to 5 grams of Triphala before sleep.
- Intestinal enemas based on a decoction of Dashamula
- After intestinal cleansing, tone the colon by infiltrating 1 cup of lukewarm water mixed with 1 or 2 tablespoons of lukewarm sesame oil ou Narayan ou Mahanarayan.
- Keep in the colon for 20 minutes. The oil (of very good quality absorbed by the colon and sent to the bones and joints will be a good massage and very beneficial to them).

- Application of castor oil to painful joints (every night).
