At the age of 60, knee osteoarthritis is commonly related to Sandhivata in Ayurveda — a condition caused by degeneration of joints due to aggravated Vata and gradual depletion of bone and joint lubrication. Since diabetes and BP are already under control, Ayurvedic treatment can safely focus on reducing pain, improving mobility, and supporting sleep naturally. Ayurvedic Management for Knee Osteoarthritis Internal Ayurvedic Support Yograj Guggulu – helps reduce joint stiffness, inflammation, and improves movement. Mahayograj Guggulu or Trayodashang Guggulu – beneficial when knee pain is associated with neck and back pain. Shallaki (Boswellia) + Lakshadi Guggulu – supports cartilage and bone strength naturally. Ashwagandha at bedtime with warm milk can help reduce pain-related sleep disturbance and calm Vata. External Therapies Gentle massage with warm Mahanarayana Taila or Kottamchukkadi Taila over knees, lower back, and neck daily. Follow with mild hot fomentation for 10–15 minutes to reduce stiffness and improve bending. Panchakarma therapies like Janu Basti, Patra Pinda Sweda, or Kati Basti give very good relief in chronic osteoarthritis. Diet & Lifestyle Advice Prefer warm, soft, easily digestible food. Include sesame, garlic, ginger, turmeric, drumstick, methi, and cow ghee in moderation. Avoid cold food, curd at night, excess potato, bakery items, and prolonged sitting. Gentle walking and simple knee-strengthening exercises are helpful, but avoid overstrain. For Better Sleep Pain worsening at night indicates aggravated Vata. Before sleep: Apply warm oil to knees and soles. Drink turmeric milk with a pinch of nutmeg or Ashwagandha. Keep legs slightly elevated while resting.
This appears to be Sandhigata Vata (osteoarthritis) with cervical and lumbar degeneration. Ayurvedic treatment: Yogaraja Guggulu 2 tablets twice daily after food Shallaki Capsule 1 capsule twice daily Dashamoola Kashayam 15 ml with 45 ml warm water twice daily before food Lakshadi Guggulu 2 tablets twice daily after food if degeneration is prominent Ksheerabala Taila or Mahanarayana Taila local massage daily followed by hot fomentation For sleep and pain Ashwagandha Churna 3 gm with warm milk at bedtime Avoid Climbing stairs frequently Sitting on floor Cold exposure and excess walking
