Fibromyalgia - Ayurvedic Treatment

What is Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain and fatigue syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, tender points, disturbed sleep, brain fog, and extreme tiredness. Modern science links it to central sensitisation — the nervous system’s over-response to normal sensations. Ayurveda recognizes this as a Vata-Prakopa Vyadhi with involvement of Mamsa Dhatu Kshaya, Ama accumulation, and Manovaha Srotodushti. When Vata becomes aggravated and nourished tissues (Dhatus) are depleted, the body’s communication channels lose harmony — resulting in diffuse pain, stiffness, anxiety, and exhaustion. Thus, the Ayurvedic approach to fibromyalgia focuses on balancing Vata, cleansing Ama, restoring Dhatu strength, and calming the mind.
