Ayurvedic perspective
In Ayurveda this pattern is often described as Amavata, where weak digestion produces Ama (toxic residue) that settles in the joints along with aggravated Vata. Care focuses on improving Agni (digestion), clearing Ama and calming Vata through herbs, diet and lifestyle.
Diet & lifestyle tips
- Prefer warm, freshly cooked, easily digestible food
- Avoid cold drinks, curd at night and heavy fried foods
