Knee pain is a common pain or a common ailment, especially as we age, and it is one of the top reasons people visit orthopedic specialists. It can stem from swelling, inflammation, or ligament damage between cartilage. Excessive physical activity, sports injuries, and even daily wear and tear contribute to the problem.

Causes of knee pain in Ayurveda perspective

Modern lifestyle has also played a significant role in contributing to the knee pain with inactive habits and poor diets have led to rising obesity rates, putting extra strain on knee joints. Carrying excess weight forces the legs to bear more pressure than they should, accelerating joint damage over time.

Body weight directly impacts the knee pain, affecting how you walk, run, climb stairs or exercise. The lifestyle driven by desk jobs, reduced physical activity, and modern conveniences further can weaken joints. Despite these challenges, simple ground exercise and mindful breathing can help joint health.

The three main reasons for knee pain are body weight, lack of exercises, and genetical features responsible. Ignoring these issues may worsen the pain over time. Conventional treatments often rely on painkillers, which mask symptoms without addressing the root cause. In contrast, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach combining herbs, therapies, and lifestyle changes to strengthen knees naturally and restore long term mobility.
