The most common causes of joint pain could be injury or arthritis, which are detected by blood tests and imaging techniques. While some experience knee joint pain, their tests turn out to be normal. This is very unique understanding of the body from Ayurveda comes handy in such scenarios.<\/p>\n
A person can be predisposed by their\u00a0prakruti<\/em>\u00a0(body composition that is determined genetically) to experience various aches and pains. Or a certain choice of diet and lifestyle could aggravate the pain in the knees. Women do experience joint pains before the onset of menstruation and during menopause.
