Episode 380: Maintaining Joint Health with Ayurveda
Ayurveda views mobility as a reflection of vitality, when joints are healthy, well lubricated, and move with ease. When joints are compromised basic movements like walking, climbing stairs or even the act of sitting can become more painful and challenging. Chronic joint pain or stiffness can lead to reduced quality of life and emotional stress, affecting our independence and participation in physical or social activities.
Colette discusses the following in this episode:
The role of vata, pitta and kapha doshas in joint health.
How a compromised digestive system can lead to joint problems.
Preventative tips to help maintain healthy, pain-free joints focusing on:
Diet and nutrition
Digestive fire (agni) and toxins (ama)
Body tissues (dhatus) and joint nourishment
Lifestyle practices
Herbal support
Seasonal adjustments (ritucharya)
