Do you often experience widespread body aches along with sleeping issues, fatigue, and cognitive troubles? The condition that brings about these symptoms together is called Fibromyalgia.

The condition is most commonly experienced by women in comparison to men and may bring along other complications. In this article, we will discuss ayurvedic measures by suggesting safe, natural, and effective solutions for the treatment of fibromyalgia.
