Inflammatory arthiritis / Auto immune conditions

Home / Inflammatory Arthiritis

Holistic Ayurvedic Care for Chronic Joint & Connective Tissue Disorders

Autoimmune and inflammatory arthritis are chronic conditions where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues—leading to persistent joint inflammation, stiffness, fatigue, and potential organ involvement. At Heritage Ayurveda Clinic, we offer personalized Ayurvedic treatments that address the root cause and restore immune balance without side effects.

Conditions We Treat

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – Autoimmune inflammation of joints, often affecting both sides symmetrically.
  • Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) – Chronic inflammation primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints.
  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) – A complex autoimmune disease impacting joints, skin, kidneys, and other organs.
  • Reactive Arthritis – Joint pain and swelling triggered by an infection in another part of the body.
  • Reiter’s Syndrome – A type of reactive arthritis presenting with joint inflammation, eye irritation, and urinary symptoms.
  • Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder (MCTD) – An overlapping condition with features of RA, lupus, scleroderma, and polymyositis.

Ayurvedic Understanding

From an Ayurvedic perspective, these conditions are caused by an aggravated Vata and Pitta Dosha, combined with Ama (toxins) accumulation and immune system malfunction (Ojas imbalance). Our treatments focus on:

  • Balancing Doshas
  • Detoxifying the body (Ama clearance)
  • Strengthening immunity (Ojas rejuvenation)
  • Reducing inflammation naturally
