Heal Joint Pain Naturally

Why Joint Pain Is No Longer an Age-Old Problem

Nowadays, many people—even those in their late 20s—are facing issues like stiff knees, tennis elbows, shoulder pain, and lower back pain.

Some even struggle with dull pains in the fingers, especially when trying to open a jar.

These may look like small concerns, but they are signs your joints are quietly asking for help.

Joint pain doesn’t begin overnight—it builds up slowly through years of inflammation, poor digestion, improper eating habits, and even emotional stress.

According to Ayurveda, wherever there is ama or toxic residue, there will be pain, especially in areas like the shoulder.
