We tend to look for solutions that are not only effective, but also less complex. Over the years, we have found that Ayurveda provides valuable insight into this process. According to Ayurveda, three doshas are important for human health: Pitta, Kapha, and Vata. As we age, Vata dosha plays an important role in joint stiffness and other discomforts as it relates to movement. This imbalance can affect tissue nutrition, deplete the lubricants that protect the joints, and cause stiffness and pain during movement. Recognizing the signs of joint and muscle pain in Ayurveda involves observing small signs such as stiffness, crackling, and heaviness in the affected area. ”

This includes adopting a lifestyle that is consistent with our unique dosha composition and This includes incorporating exercise and relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation.
