Anatomically joint is kapha dominant because kapha dosha has got binding property with snigdha and slashna gunas which keeps articulating structures together. ‘slish aalingane’ is the basic nature of kapha. Sleshaka kapha is located in sandhi. Functionally sandhi is vata dominant because of chala guna. A healthy jaiont has a normal Vata- Kapha equilibrium. Most of the joint diseases are the result of Vata- Kapha vitiation. In some cases sandhirogas, due to dhatupaka which lead to destruction of the joint structures. Autoimmune mediated joint diseases invariably have dhatupaka. Dhatupaka gradually lead to dhatukshaya with vata dominant degenerative.
