Osteoarthritis in Ayurveda is known by the name “Sandigata Vata,” and in common terminology, it is known as “Degenerative Joint Disease.”

It’s a chronic disorder found in joints in which the protective cartilage present at the bone ends starts losing its elasticity & wears away with time resulting in reduced mobility in joints, stiffness, swelling, pain, weakened muscles around the affected area, etc.
