Ayurvedic Treatment on Disorders of the Joints

It is important to meticulously follow the restrictions of diet and activity as advised by the physician and undertake physiotherapy. Undertaking the spiritual practice and worship of the deity of fire and the Sun also proves to be useful. In this book, the Ayurvedic concept of various types of rheumatism is described.
