Fibromyalgia.
It sounds like one of those intimidating medical terms that make you think, What does that even mean? But here’s the good news: fibromyalgia isn’t as scary as it sounds, and Ayurveda has some incredible insights into understanding and managing it.
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a condition where people experience chronic muscle and bone pain that doesn’t seem to have a clear cause. Doctors often use this term when all tests and investigations come back normal, but the patient continues to experience unexplained pain.
PubMed describes fibromyalgia as a condition with chronic muscular and bone-related pain.
But, it also says that the etiology is unknown (no definite cause) and pathophysiology is uncertain (the exact disease process isn’t clear).
Now, this is where Ayurveda steps in with a fresh perspective.

Imagine your body is a car. What keeps the car running smoothly? The tires. That’s what Vata is like—it drives all your body’s functions. When Vata is balanced, your body operates like a well-oiled machine. But the whole system can break down when it goes out of balance, just like a flat tire..
