Our approach is centred around Ayurveda Arthritis Treatment.
IVAC offers a calm, evidence-informed path that blends classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern assessment. This personalised approach seeks to support joint function and overall well-being rather than chase a single symptom.

Understanding arthritis today: types, symptoms, and why a holistic plan matters
Joint conditions take many forms, from slow wear-related loss of cartilage to sudden inflammatory flares that change how the body moves each day.
Definition and common forms. Arthritis describes a spectrum of disorders that affect one or more joints. Pain, stiffness, swelling and limited range of movement can appear in different patterns across the body.
Common forms
- Osteoarthritis — a wear-and-tear degeneration driven by load and posture. Warmth often eases morning stiffness, while overuse can aggravate pain.
- Rheumatoid arthritis — an autoimmune disease with symmetrical joint involvement. A 2017 study found low vitamin D levels are common and link to higher disease activity.
- Psoriatic arthritis and gout — inflammatory forms with skin or uric acid links and episodic flares that need coordinated care.
Why a holistic plan matters
Symptoms often arise from mechanical stress, local inflammation and wider systemic imbalance. Combining diet, rest‑activity balance and stress regulation targets multiple drivers at once.
Practical note: Observe daily pain rhythms, morning stiffness and how heat or cold affect you. This information helps clinicians personalise therapies and oils.
Red flags: seek prompt medical care for a suddenly hot, swollen joint, fever or new neurological signs. Complementary care should not delay urgent medical assessment.
How to start your Ayurveda Arthritis Treatment journey at IVAC
Beginning care at IVAC starts with a structured intake that maps medical tests to individual body patterns. The aim is clear: blend objective reports with constitutional assessment so plans are safe and personalised.
Step one: assessment and diagnosis
The first visit is a comprehensive review. Bring imaging, blood tests and a full list of medications so clinicians can match biomedical findings with an assessment of doshas and digestive strength.
Clinicians review your symptoms, morning stiffness and flare triggers. This helps map an arthritis pattern and prioritise safety around current prescriptions.
Step two: personalised treatment plan
Findings become a tailored treatment plan to reduce pain and modulate inflammation. Therapies may include gentle oil work for stiffness, guided steam and local applications suited to your constitution and to vata imbalance.
Nutritional support and evidence-informed supplements are offered only after checking for interactions with medications. A recent study notes nutrient benefits as complementary, not replacements for medical care.
Step three: monitoring and sustaining results
Care includes scheduled reviews to assess function—walking, gripping and sit-to-stand—and day-to-day activity. Progress uses simple tools: pain scales, stiffness duration and sleep quality.
Education in joint protection, pacing and restorative rest helps maintain gains beyond clinic stays.
| Step | Focus | Patient action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Assessment (reports + doshas) | Bring scans, tests, medication list |
| 2 | Personalised treatment plan | Follow prescribed ayurvedic treatment and diet |
| 3 | Monitoring & self-care | Track symptoms daily; attend reviews |
Evidence-informed natural remedies and herbs that may help reduce pain and inflammation
“Evidence-informed remedies can offer symptom relief and support tissue health, but they work best when integrated into a broader care plan.”
Overview: Certain herbs and supplements show signals of benefit for pain and inflammation. IVAC emphasises safety checks against current medicine and medical disorders before any addition to a daily plan.
SAMe, curcumin, capsaicin and fish oil — roles and precautions
SAMe: A 2002 meta-analysis suggested analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects. Typical dosing is 200–400 mg three times a day (max 1,200 mg/day). Avoid in bipolar or some neurological conditions. SAMe interacts with antidepressants, dextromethorphan, levodopa and certain analgesics.
Capsaicin (topical): Creams or gels up to 0.075% applied four times per day have moderate benefit for osteoarthritis over ~20 weeks. Do a 24‑hour patch test and avoid eyes or sensitive skin.
Curcumin: Oral 200–500 mg four times daily (or topical up to four times a day) may modulate pathways that cause inflammation and support cartilage. Avoid with anticoagulants, gallbladder disease, bleeding disorders, GERD and some hormone‑sensitive conditions.
Fish oil (EPA/DHA): Choose products with ≥30% EPA/DHA; common dosing is up to 500 mg/day. Evidence is stronger for rheumatoid arthritis. Watch interactions with anticoagulants, blood‑pressure drugs and orlistat; avoid in some liver or device‑related conditions.
Vitamins, minerals and adjunctive measures
- Vitamin C: ~75 mg/day women, 90 mg/day men; supports connective tissue. Evidence is mixed; monitor with some drugs.
- Vitamin D: 600 IU/day ≤70 years; 800 IU/day >70 years. Deficiency is common in inflammatory joint disorders.
- Vitamin E: 15 mg/day; possible benefits but limited evidence and interaction cautions.
- Calcium: Up to 1,500 mg/day with vitamin D to support bone; check for interactions.
Heat and cold: Warmth eases stiffness; cold reduces acute swelling. Use skin protection, time limits and avoid hot environments if there is heart disease or high blood pressure.
“Natural remedies can help, but they are not stand‑alone cures; safe selection requires review of your history and current medications.”
Practical note: IVAC clinicians individualise choices, adjust diet and match oil or herb use to your system so these remedies support mobility and reduce pain safely.
Ayurvedic therapies at IVAC to support joints, mobility, and relief
IVAC uses hands-on therapies and targeted oils to ease joint stiffness and restore smoother movement.
Abhyanga and medicated oils
Abhyanga is a warm, full‑body oil massage that nourishes tissues, eases stiffness and improves circulation. It often prepares the body for deeper therapies and helps with reducing pain in wrists, knees and hips.
Swedana and Lepa
Swedana is guided sweating to mobilise toxins and ease tightness; intensity is tailored to your constitution and energy level.
Lepa are herbal pastes applied locally to soothe hotspots of pain and swelling. Oils and pastes are chosen to balance doshas and the stage of the condition.
Dhara and targeted oil techniques
Dhara involves steady pouring of medicated oil to calm vata dosha and soothe irritated tissues. Targeted oil work supports steadier movement and better sleep.
Panchakarma detox and Rasayana rejuvenation
Panchakarma (Vamana, Virechana, Vasti) is offered for selected cases after careful assessment and is performed by licensed practitioners to aid deeper cleansing.
Rasayana follows detox: a rejuvenation phase using herbs, diet and routine to restore strength and consolidate gains.
| Therapy | Primary aim | When chosen |
|---|---|---|
| Abhyanga (oil massage) | Nourish tissues; ease stiffness | Routine care; preps for deeper work |
| Swedana (steam) | Mobilise toxins; relax muscles | After assessment; adjusted for energy |
| Lepa (herbal paste) | Local pain and swelling relief | Targeted hotspots; acute flares |
| Panchakarma & Rasayana | Deep cleansing; long‑term rejuvenation | Selected cases; post‑detox consolidation |
Diet and lifestyle: daily changes that support joints and help manage vata dosha
Simple diet and lifestyle shifts help rekindle digestion, calm vata and support ongoing joint comfort. Adopting steady routines reduces digestive stress and supports good health.
Anti-inflammatory choices: meal patterns, spices, and hydration
Choose warm, regular meals that are easy to digest. Add ginger and turmeric and include balanced oils to gently modulate inflammation.
Avoid ultra-processed foods and irregular eating. Whole foods and steady meal timing help pacify vata and reduce toxin build-up.
Activity and rest: yoga, stretching, and pacing to protect joints
Encourage gentle daily activity—low‑impact walking, restorative yoga and mindful stretching—to maintain circulation without overloading the joints.
Use pacing strategies: break tasks into small steps, alternate activity with rest, and prioritise quality sleep so tissues and the nervous system can recalibrate.
- Soothing warm compresses or baths may offer quick relief; avoid extremes with cardiovascular concerns.
- Postural awareness and ergonomic adjustments reduce cumulative strain on the body.
- Work with IVAC practitioners to personalise diet and lifestyle, including timing of oils-based self-massage where suitable.
“Steady, realistic changes and gentle exercise underpin lasting relief and complement clinic-based therapies.”
Special focus: reactive arthritis and the Amavata lens in Ayurveda
Reactive joint inflammation often follows a gut or genitourinary infection by days to weeks. It is an inflammatory form that links infection, immune response and joint symptoms.
Triggers and common symptoms
Triggers: bacterial infections such as Chlamydia, Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Campylobacter and Ureaplasma commonly precede this form.
Symptoms: asymmetric, painful, warm and swollen joints (knees, heels, toes, lower back), eye irritation and urinary discomfort. These patterns call for prompt, coordinated care.
Conventional care and integrated approach
Standard pathways include NSAIDs and antibiotics where indicated, with steroids or DMARDs for chronic courses under medical supervision.
IVAC coordinates closely with your doctor to ensure supportive measures do not interfere with essential medications. Supportive therapies aim to ease discomfort and aid function while respecting active infection management.
Amavata perspective and relapse prevention
Through an Amavata lens the focus is on clearing toxins (ama), strengthening digestion and balancing vata. Diet, gut care, hygiene and stress regulation form relapse prevention measures.
“Integrated care often helps people stabilise by calming vata, clearing ama and supporting the immune system.”
| Aspect | What to watch | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Early signs | Asymmetric joint pain, eye or urinary symptoms | Seek medical review; inform IVAC team |
| Active infection | Fever, positive cultures | Priority antibiotics and physician-led care |
| Recovery focus | Gut health, pacing, hygiene | Diet advice, gentle routines, stress reduction |
