Natural/Ayurvedic Home Remedies for Joint Pains

Joint pains have broadly been classified under Sandhivata and Ama Vata by Ayurveda. While Ama Vata correlates to rheumatoid arthritis in terms of pathology, the other type is close to arthritis from aging. In both forms of joint pains, there is an involvement of Vata.

Common Recipes:

• Massage of the affected joint has been the best remedy mentioned and observed by experience. The benefits of massage can be amplified if the massage is done using warm mustard oil. The oil may not offer a very pleasant odor, but a massage with this ensures relief.
• Grind in your mortar and pestle equal parts of dried ginger, black pepper, and a pinch of black salt. Take a teaspoonful of this mixture with water.
