Ayurvedic explanation of Fibromyalgia can be given as –It is a disease caused by imbalance in the kinetic energy of the body i.e. Vata. Vata is the physiological energy which generally responsible for stability and activity of nervous system. Fibromyalgia is perceived as a classic Vata imbalance disease.

There are a lot of time-tested dietary, herbal and lifestyle recommendations recommended in Ayurveda to help balance Vata and remove the symptoms caused by its aggravation, which causes painful conditions like fibromyalgia and other fatigue syndromes.

b) Accumulation of “Aama” - Buildup of toxins and impurities
Accumulation of “Aama” i.e. toxins within the body are considered as the root cause of many auto-immune disorders like ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis and diseases like fibromyalgia, according to Ayurveda. The toxins build up in tissues and lead to fatigue like feeling all the time. One of the first influences toxin accumulation has is on the nerve tissue. If toxins continually aggravate the nerve tissue the result can be symptoms of tenderness, pain and hypersensitivity to stimulation.Aama (the toxins) block the channels of circulation to affected areas, thus diminishing the natural cleansing processes of the body and allowing more impurities to accumulate within the tissues.
Cleansing herbs like Kumari Saar ( Aloe vera juice) cleanse the body and open the channels of circulation and removing the accumulated impurities. Herbs found in AamVatantak Churna helps in digestion of ‘aama’ and reduction in production and accumulation of toxins within the body.
