Lifestyle Suggestions
Individuals of dominant Vata Dosha are susceptible to joint conditions. Painful, cracking even arthritic joints are manifestations of Vata imbalances. Boswellia provides relief to stiff and painful joints.
Kapha individuals can have difficulty maintaining fluid balance of the joints, sometimes exacerbated by weight. Boswellia helps Kapha types maintain fluid balance in the joints.
Vata types would do well to get a massage. They should prefer warm, moist foods, particularly when joints are impaired and in cold, dry climates. Vata dominant individuals should seek less joint stressing activities. Swimming may be an alternative to running. Walking may be preferred over high impact aerobics.
