Arthritis Toxins
According to Ayurveda, arthritis toxins include an excess of ama and a lack of agni. These toxins can cause different types of arthritis.
One type of arthritis that ayurveda speaks of is Vata. With this type of arthritis the joints will crack and pop. Then they become dry. This is called Vata because it is due to excess Vata in the system.
Pitta can also be a cause of arthritis that Ayurveda calls Pitta Arthritis. With this type of arthritis the joint is swollen and inflamed. The joint is painful with or without movement. With this type of arthritis the knee is red and is also hot to the touch.
A third type of arthritis is Kapha due to kapha being unbalanced. In this type of arthritis the joint is stiff and swollen. The joint becomes cold and clammy. Movement of the joing will increase the pain.
Waste buildup and an accumulation of undigested food are results of these toxins. Toxins are able to build up in our system due to poor digestion.
The treatment will depend upon the type of arthritis. If you know you have vata-type arthritis you can take 1/2 to 1 cup of warm water and use Haritaki. If you suffer from pitta-type of arthritis take 1/2 to 1 cup of warm water and use Amalaki. If you have kapha-type of arthritis take 1/2 to 1 cup of warm water and use Bibbitaki.
A detoxification program is can be helpful for relief from the pain. Specifically a three to five day detoxification diet is recommended. Detox would help to balance out the chemicals in the body. Another way to detox the body is to use enemas in order to clean out the colon.
Medication from a doctor is not necessary either, however, Arthcare oil, an herbal anti-inflammatory can help immensely with the pain from the inflammation. A diet consisting of plenty of vegetables, juices, spices and herbs can also be helpful in ridding arthritis toxins and ridding of the pain associated with the arthritis. Gemstone therapy can also be used to treat all three types of arthritis and rid of athritis toxins.
