Joint health is central to maintaining vitality and freedom of movement. Ayurveda views the joints (Sandhi) as vital junctions that depend on the balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, the strength of Asthi (bone) and Majja (bone marrow) dhatus, and the proper functioning of Agni (digestive fire).
When these elements lose balance — through poor diet, sedentary habits, overuse, or age-related degeneration — the result manifests as pain, stiffness, inflammation, and restricted movement, collectively described as Sandhivata or Vata Vyadhi.
