Ayurveda & Fibromyalgia

About the Conference

Fibromyalgia, from an Ayurvedic lens, is not merely a pain disorder but a systemic imbalance involving Vata, digestion, tissue nourishment, and mental resilience. A personalized, integrative approach that addresses both physical and psychological factors is essential for long-term relief and improved quality of life.
From an Ayurvedic standpoint, fibromyalgia is best understood as a Vata Vyadhi—a disorder arising primarily from the aggravation of Vata dosha, often complicated by the presence of ama (metabolic toxins). Vata governs movement, nerve conduction, sensory perception, and pain pathways; when disturbed, it produces widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and heightened sensory sensitivity—key features of fibromyalgia.
