cause is from a toxic condition. Arthritis is mainly a Vata (air)
disease which involves pain and weakening of the bones (the main Vata
tissue in the body). In most cases the causes remain unknown to western
medicine. Disorders are also related to age, sex and weather conditions.

Main Causes and
Development
Causes include both internal and external factors. Arthritis is
more common in windy, damp and stormy climates. It is related to
weak digestion which causes the accumulation of toxins in the
joints, as we age our digestive power weakens. Poor colon function
allows the toxins to accumulate and be reabsorbed back into the
blood stream and settle in the joints where circulation is reduced.
Eating incompatible food combinations, foods which create toxins,
lack of exercise or exercising after eating fatty foods or poor
digestion, produces ama (undigested food toxins). Ama associated
with Vata (internal moving body air) quickly moves to different
parts of the body and accumulates where circulation is sluggish or
slow such as the hands, knees and other bone joints filling the
blood vessels with a waxy type material. It is also more common in
old age when Vata naturally increases in the body. Meat diet, foods
such as ice cream, to much concentrated dairy such as aged cheese or
globs of sour cream or cheese with your meals, cold foods especially
during cold weather which weaken the digestion, heavy cakes,
pastries and candies, packaged and processed foods with little fiber
are the main dietary causes. Gas producing vegetables and legumes
also create more internal air which pushes the toxins into the
joints. This ama blocks tissue pores and passages. This causes
heaviness and weakness of the heart which becomes the seat of the
disease. |

Treatment
One may also have a combination of the symptoms from the three

Treatment: Externally, Medicated sesame oil helps loosen stiff
joints, clears toxins, nourishes tissues, relieves pain, counteracts
the aging process, beautifies the skin, improves circulation,
regenerates the nerves. This oil should be applied daily by
massaging it into the effected parts. Sesame oil enemas can be taken
once a week. A tablespoon of castor oil or Triphala can be taken
every other day to keep help clear the colon. Diet should be
according to the symptoms you have. If you have mostly the vata
symptoms you should follow a Vata reducing diet. Gout is treated the
same. If you have a serious disease, we suggest that you consult a
qualified doctor who understands alternative health care before
combining herbs with allopathic medicine. We suggest that you take
herbs based on your faith and knowledge of Ayurveda. If you do not
have that faith and knowledge we suggest that you read a book or two
on the subject or at least read the link History of Ayurveda. |

More on
Guggulu!
Indian Bdellium, which is called by the name Guggulu in India (It
is also known as Commiphora Mukul), is one of the most trusted herbs
which can be used as a purifying agent, a tonic that helps
rejuvenate our cells/tissues, and plays an important role in
balancing nervous system and solve reproductive system related
complaints etc. It is also considered for its use in solving and
controlling menstruation cycle related problems.
Guggulu as described above, possesses purifying qualities, which
help in purifying blood by removing toxins and other impurities from
blood. As it cleanses blood and removes impurities, it also helps
our cells to rejuvenate and become fresh and active.
Its cleansing qualities are very effective in treatment of various
skin disorders/diseases. For those who are suffering from skin
related problems and various infections, Guggulu can help them in
finding some relief as it helps in stimulation of Phagocytosis by
increasing leukocytes level in the blood. The skin, kidneys, mucous
membranes and many other internal organs omit this; this activity
helps in keeping our body safe from getting infected. Guggulu is
considered to be one of the most effective disinfectants that help
our body in getting rid of the unwanted elements/substances
naturally. It also helps in removing/reducing some type of unwanted
tumors from our body (which are caused by infection).
Along with cleansing the body, Guggulu also helps in reducing the
level of Cholesterol from the blood. Guggulu is used in the weight
control medicines/supplement as it helps in buring/reducing unwanted
extra fat from our body in the most natural way.
Guggulu is very helpful in conditions such as arthritis (a
condition caused due to 'Vata & Pitta Dosha') in which the
patient suffers from the pain (Vata Dosha) caused in the joints and
also in cells/tissues. The other main reason of arthritis is, the
toxic substance (which is caused due to some problem in digestive
system, which results in half digested food which is referred as
'AMA' (TOXIN)) that gets accumulated in the tissues of body and
induces the effect of pain in the body. As guggulu is very helpful
in improving the digestive system and it also helps in removing
toxins from our body, it can be used effectively in treatment of
arthritis. (Trifala Guggulu is mainly used in the treatment of
arthritis; it also eases the inflammatory conditions). |
