How to have strong joints with Yoga and Ayurveda

Yoga and Ayurveda are both ancient practices that have been used for thousands of years to improve the health and well-being of the body, and joint pain is no exception. These ancient practices can help you build up your joint health by strengthening your muscles and improving your flexibility.

Herbs

One of the most powerful benefits of Ayurveda is that it focuses on restoring balance in the body. When your body is in balance, you're less likely to experience pain or other symptoms that are caused by imbalances in your system. Ayurvedic herbs contain nutrients and properties that promote healing when ingested.

Turmeric

Linked to anti-inflammatory properties and improved blood flow, turmeric is great for reducing joint pain and improving flexibility.

Ginger

The root of Zingiber officinale, ginger, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and it's also been shown to have antioxidant effects that can help fight off age-related joint issues.

Guggulu (Indian gum resin)

Guggulu contains sesquiterpenes that reduce inflammation and stiffness in the body, which helps with symptoms of arthritis.

Shallaki

This mystical plant relieves pain while internally strengthening your joints. Additionally, it aids in reducing swelling and further improves mobility.

Nirgundi

Frequently used to treat different types of joint pain, Nirgundi can also lessen painful flare-ups and edema. Its effective anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsant, and antioxidant characteristics aid in the quick restoration of the joints' healthy state.

🧐 DID YOU KNOW?

Calcium and vitamin D are two minerals necessary for strong bones. Low calcium is linked to lower bone density and a higher risk of fractures. Meanwhile, vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption. You can increase your vitamin D intake by simply spending a few minutes in the sun and practicing Surya Namaskar to increase spine flexibility.

Eliminate Ama With Pirant Oil

A herbal remedy for both joint discomfort and long-term strength is massaging with Pirant Oil. The ingredients in Pirant Oil include herbs such as Pippal, Guggul, and garlic with other elements that are crucial in balancing the harmful effects of Ama (Toxins), a primary contributor to joint discomfort. Massaging the joints daily with this further eradicates the Vata Dosha, another cause of joint pain.

Churna Pinda Sweda

Churna refers to coarse or fine herbal medicine powder, the bolus is referred to as a pinda and Sweda means sweat. Therefore, Churna Pinda Sweda is a sweat-producing procedure for joint relief. Various grains and specific substances are fried in herbal oil and tied into boluses as part of this therapy. The body is then massaged with the boluses after being indirectly warmed in a heated container for stronger joints.

💡 TIP OF THE DAY

It is natural to have muscle soreness after exercising. However, you may have overdone it if you experience pain for longer than 48 hours. Working through pain might cause harm or injury. Take a break till the pain gets better, and remember to avoid exerting too much force the next time you’re exercising.

Exercises to improve mobility and joints

Yoga and exercise are two of the most important self-help techniques for joint health. They help to strengthen your muscles and improve flexibility, adhering to a natural transformation of your joint strength and mobility. Some exercises are specifically suitable for strengthening your connective tissue and improving balance, further reducing the risk of falls.

Ankle Rocks

The first stage in constructing a solid base is developing robust ankles. It involves standing tall against a wall and pushing and pressing your palms against the wall for support. Bring one leg in front and bend the knee 90 degrees. Slightly bent the other leg towards the front keeping the knees straight. Now, press against the wall as you bring your front knee to touch the wall. Rock back and forth and feel the pull.

Neck Rotations

Despite its significance in daily tasks, neck mobility is frequently overlooked. Neck mobility forms a solid base for posture. Begin neck rotations by placing your hands on your lap and standing with your back straight. Tilt your head to one side and move it as far as you can without experiencing discomfort. Now, bring your chin down to touch your shoulder, and slowly bring your head to the other side with a half-moon rotation. Make a few such half-circles while moving smoothly and gently.

Cat-cow Pose

The Cat-Cow sequence is a calming transition between two poses that is excellent for warming the body and increasing spinal, shoulder, and neck mobility. Come to your hands and knees, with your hands shoulder-width apart and your knees just beneath your hips, assuming the starting position. As you inhale, arch the lower back and push the belly button forward and push back the buttocks. From this "cow" stance, then adopt the "cat" pose gradually by arching back and gazing at the floor to form a downward C with your spine.

90/90 hip switch

The glutes, piriformis, psoas, hip flexors, hip abductors, and adductors are among the hip muscles engaged by the 90/90 hip switch. Sit with your legs slightly wider than hip-width apart and your knees bent to 90 degrees. Keep your heels on the ground and twist your knees to the side, while maintaining the same posture. Maintain an erect stance while you move your knees and concentrate on the hip motion. Complete six repetitions per side.

General tips for joint health

1. Stay in motion

The general rule for maintaining healthy joints is that increased mobility reduces joint stiffness. Change your sitting position periodically while reading, working, or watching television. Don't sit for extended periods, and take a walk or run for at least 10 minutes every day.

2. Power up your core

Balance is improved when abdominal and back muscles are strengthened. As a result, you are less likely to get injured or experience joint discomfort. Add core strengthening exercises such as Pilates and Tai Chi to your daily routine.

3. Correct Posture

To safeguard the neck and knee joints, you should stand and sit with your back always upright. By maintaining proper posture, you can prevent additional strain on your joints and lower your risk of injuring the nearby muscles. Pay extra attention when engaging in repetitive motions such as sitting, and standing —as well as if you are carrying or lifting heavy objects.
