Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a serious, long-term condition that affects the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. The most commonly affected areas are the hands, wrists, knees, and feet, but it can impact other parts of the body as well. In severe cases, the joints may become deformed and lose their ability to move. The discomfort and limitations caused by RA can make it difficult to perform everyday tasks and reduce a person’s quality of life. It not only affects the individual but also causes emotional and physical stress for families who may need to assist with care.
Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
In conventional medicine, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own joints. Genetic factors, infections, and environmental triggers such as smoking may increase the risk of developing RA
In Ayurveda, rheumatoid arthritis is seen as an imbalance in the body's energies, particularly the “Vata” and “Pitta” doshas. Poor diet, stress, and an unhealthy lifestyle lead to a buildup of toxins, which disturb the body's balance, causing inflammation and pain.
Acupuncture views RA as a blockage in the body’s energy flow (Qi). This blockage prevents proper circulation, causing stiffness, swelling, and pain in the joints.
Cure from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
All three perspectives highlight immune system issues, lifestyle factors, and internal imbalances as key causes. For long-term relief, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, manage stress, and pursue holistic treatments like Ayurveda and acupuncture. These methods work to reduce inflammation, restore balance, and support the immune system.
Holistic healing – TARA Ayurveda and acupuncture combine treatments
Combining Ayurveda and acupuncture offers a powerful, natural way to manage rheumatoid arthritis. Ayurveda focuses on balancing the body’s energies through herbs, foods, and lifestyle changes that help reduce pain and inflammation. Acupuncture helps by improving the flow of energy and blood to the joints, relieving stiffness and discomfort. Together, these treatments target the root causes of RA, providing long-term relief without relying on medications. This combined approach not only improves joint health and flexibility but also enhances overall well-being, allowing people to live a more active and pain-free life.
