Introduction to Knee Pain and Ayurveda
Knee pain is a common symptom of arthritis, injury, or overuse. Ayurveda offers holistic relief and healing for the mind, body, and spirit.

A low-quality mattress may also contribute to knee pain because your joints can sink into it and compress the cartilage that cushions them.
