Osteoarthritis is the gradual wearing down of joint cartilage, most commonly affecting the knees, hips and spine. At AVK, we slow degeneration and restore mobility through Marma therapy, herbal bandaging and internal formulations that nourish and protect joint tissue.
Joint pain that worsens with activity
Morning stiffness lasting less than 30 minutes

Crepitus — cracking or grating sounds
Reduced range of motion over time
Age-related cartilage wear
Excess body weight placing load on joints
Previous joint injuries
Genetic predisposition
Repetitive joint stress
Osteoarthritis (Sandhigatavata) is a degenerative vata disorder where dryness and roughness erode the cartilage and synovial fluid in joints. Treatment nourishes the joints from within through herbal bandaging over the affected joints, with internal formulations that halt further degeneration.
Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.
Gentle stimulation of Janu, Kurpara or Gulpha marma points (depending on the affected joint) to improve circulation and ease pain.
Warm medicated oils and pastes applied over the affected joint and secured with bandages — deeply nourishing cartilage and reducing inflammation.
Classical internal preparations containing Guggulu, Ashwagandha and other joint-strengthening herbs — taken over 3–6 months.
Weight management, joint-friendly movement, nourishing diet and warming routines to support long-term joint health.
A 45-minute consultation is the first step towards relief.
