Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis predominantly found in Indians, affecting a population range of 15 million every year. OA is also referred to as “degenerative joint” disease characterised by joint pain, knee pain and inflammation. Osteoarthritis is usually developed after the age of 45 but juvenile osteoarthritis has also emerged as a growing concern.
Osteoarthritis is generally considered as a disease of malnutrition from an Ayurvedic perspective, that affects the vulnerable joints of the body. These reasons for the joints becoming vulnerable are due to various reasons such as anything from previous infections, injuries or congenital reasons.
