Ayurveda describes joint pain as primarily vata disorder wherein vitiated vata gets along with
either pitta or kapha and results in joint pain akso known as sandhi shool. There are three types
of sandhi shool conditions mentioned in ayurveda, namely:
1. Sandhi vata
2. Aamvata
3. Vata rakta
All three of these conditions have different line of treatment.
Following treatment modalities are followed for treating joint pains:

absorbed through the skin to nourish the body. It relieves pains and aches in the joints by
lubricating the same, improves blood circulation and channelizes nerve ending.
– Abhyantar
Basti :
By inserting herbal oil or a decoction (herbal preparation) into the colon in the form of
therapeutic enemas, excess Vata is removed from its main seat in the pelvic area. Both
the rectum and colon have a very rich blood and lymph supply that allows for effective
absorption. Studies have shown that substances delivered by enemas are more effectively
passed into the general blood stream than by oral administration, as it bypasses
metabolism in the liver.
