Ayurvedic Treatment for Frozen Shoulder (Apabahuka): Natural Relief & Proven Solutions

🧊 What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, causes stiffness, pain, and restricted movement in the shoulder joint. In Ayurveda, this condition is identified as Apabahuka, caused primarily due to Vata dosha imbalance and Ama (toxins) accumulation.

📊 Who Gets It and Why It Matters

• Typically affects people aged 40–60 years

• More common in women than men

• Higher risk if you have diabetes, thyroid issues, or a sedentary lifestyle

• If left untreated, it can severely restrict mobility and daily activities

📉 Stages of Frozen Shoulder

1. Freezing Stage (Painful Stage)

• Gradual onset of pain

• Increasing stiffness

• Lasts 6 weeks to 9 months

2. Frozen Stage (Stiffness Stage)

• Pain may reduce but stiffness remains

• Difficulty in daily tasks

• Lasts 4 to 6 months

3. Thawing Stage (Recovery Stage)

• Slow improvement in movement

• Pain continues to fade

• Can last 6 months to 2 years

⚖️ Modern vs Ayurvedic Approach

🔍 Ayurvedic Causes of Frozen Shoulder (Apabahuka)

• Aggravated Vata Dosha: Dries up synovial fluid, leading to stiffness

• Ama (Toxins): Blocks srotas (channels), creating pain and inflammation

• Lack of exercise/posture issues: Aggravates Vata

• Emotional Stress: Affects Vata, leading to psychosomatic pain
