In Ayurveda, ๐๐๐ง๐ค๐ฃ๐๐, ๐ก๐ค๐ฌ-๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ is not viewed as a single symptom - it is a signal of imbalance within the body.
Ayurvedic describes inflammation as the result of weakened Agni (digestive fire) and the accumulation of Ama (metabolic toxins) and long-standing dosha imbalance. We eat inconsistently, live under constant stress, sleep poorly, and overstimulate our nervous systems, then act surprised when digestion weakens and inflammation spreads. This is different from the essential acute inflammatory response needed to fight infections.
๐ฅ Joint pain or stiffness โ toxins building up in the joints
๐ฅ Sluggish digestion โ low digestive strength, where inflammation often begins
๐ฅ Skin flare-ups โ excess heat and toxins showing up through the skin
๐ฅ Food sensitivities โ the body reacting because digestion is struggling
๐ฅ Brain fog or fatigue โ mental heaviness from toxin buildup
๐ฅ Irritability or anger โ too much internal heat and imbalance
๐ฅ Swelling or puffiness โ fluid and toxins not moving properly
๐ฅ Sleep disturbance โ an overactive or unsettled nervous system
๐ฅ Frequent colds or low immunity โ weakened overall resilience (reduced ojas)
When our digestion is compromised, inflammation no longer remains localised, it circulates throughout the body, affecting tissues, immunity, and mental clarity.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, true healing does not begin with symptom suppression, but with restoring digestive strength, clearing Ama, and re-establishing balance at the root.
๐๐ฝ Which of these have you been normalising that may actually be inflammation?
