HELLO NAVJYOT,

You are experiencing -occasional pain and inflammation in your hands -pain is sometimes so bad you cannot hold a pen -all medical tests are normal

This kind of pain is often functional- which means it comes from imbalance in nerves, muscles, joints, or tensions without obvious damage. In Ayurveda, this is most often caused by vata imbalance(vata is one of the three doshas in the body responsible for movement, nervous system, and dryness

Over time, this imbalance may -dry out and weaken the joints or nerves of the hand. -cause stiffness, shooting pain or inflammation -interfere with normal work like writing or lifting

POSSIBLE AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS

1) VATA VYADHI= especially -snayugata vata= Vata affecting tendons/ligaments -sandhigata vata= vata in jointd

2) AGNIMANDYA+AMA= low digestion leading to toxin buildup in tissues, causing inflammation

3) OJAKSHAYA= weakened immunity/energy causing recurrent pain

4) Early sign of vatavyadhi like carpel tunnel syndrome or repetitive stress injury

TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata dosha -remove ama(toxins) from joints and tissues -strengthen nerves, bones, and joints -prevent recurrence by lifestyle correction

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS(4-6 weeks)

1) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after food =classic vata balancer, removes joint toxins, reduces stiffness

4) DASHMOOLARISHTA= 20 ml with water twice daily after meals =reduces inflammation and vata, improves circulation

5) LAKSHADI GUGUGLU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =improves bone density and prevents degeneration

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS(daily or 4-5 times/week)

1) MAHANARAYAN TAILA= warm it slightly and massage the hands/wrists =strengthens muscles, relieves pain, and vata pacifying

2) KOTTAMCHUKADI TAILA= if swelling or inflammation is dominant =best for deep pain, especially with toxins

3) NIRGUNDI TAILA- if nerve pain apply locally =reduces nerve related pain and stiffness

Massage for 10-15 minutes, then use a warm towel or steam to improve absorption

AVOID -cold drinks or food -dry, raw, processed , fermented food -excess tea/coffee -leftover, stale food -sour foods if inflammation is high

YOGA ASANAS -tadasana= improves posture and hand stretching -gomukhasana= opens shoulders and improves hand function -marjarisasana= improves spine and nerve flow -hasta mudras= especially Vayu mudra and prana mudra

Occasional inflammation and pain in the hands can be frustrating and inconvenient, especially when no abnormalities show up in your tests. Even if conventional tests aren’t highlighting issues, Ayurveda offers a different lens through which to understand your experience. This condition might be due to aggravated Vata dosha, particularly in the joints and muscle tissues, leading to discomfort and stiffness.

Begin by making dietary adjustments. Incorporate warm, moist, and soothing foods into your meals – like soups, stews, and well-cooked grains. Specifically, adding ginger, turmeric, and garlic can help in reducing inflammation and supporting joint health. Avoid cold or raw foods for a period, as they can elevate Vata and lead to further discomfort.

Regular oil massage (Abhyanga) using warm sesame or mustard oil can be beneficial. Apply the oil with gentle pressure over the hands and joints to soothe inflammation and improve circulation. Extending the massage to your entire body at least 2-3 times a week may amplify benefits by calming systemic Vata.

Ensure adequate hydration with warm herbal teas, such as ginger or cumin, which can help to flush out toxins and promote joint flexibility. Prioritizing rest and stress management through yoga and pranayama (breath control) is also key to reduce Vata disturbances.

Consider including specific Yoga postures known for their joint-mobilizing benefits, like Seated Forward Fold (Paschimottanasana) and Child’s Pose (Balasana). These can increase flexibility and relieve tension.

If symptoms persist or worsen consult a healthcare professional to rule out conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, that may require immediate medical attention. Prioritizing safety is essential, and your comfort and health are paramount.

Based on your description, the key symptom here is inflammation and pain in the hands, affecting your ability to grip. This might indicate a vata and possibly pitta imbalance, influencing the mobility and heat processes in the body. In Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, addressing the root of the issue begins with pacifying these doshas.

Firstly, focus on your diet. Try to incorporate warm, moist, and grounding foods to calm vata and reduce pitta aggravation. Foods like cooked vegetables, fresh ghee, almonds, and soothing soups can help. Avoid processed foods, excessive caffeine, and cold beverages, which can intensify vata disturbances and irritate pitta.

Herbal support can be beneficial too. Consider Boswellia (Shallaki) and Ashwagandha. Shallaki may reduce inflammation and improve flexibility, while Ashwagandha stabilizes vata and strengthens nerve function. These should be taken under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner to determine precise dosing.

Gently massaging hands with warm sesame oil daily can provide relief and improve circulation. Incorporating stress-relieving practices like yoga and pranayama may further aid in calming the nervous system, reducing vata imbalances.

It’s crucial to also be mindful of your daily activities. Ensure ergonomic posture while writing or typing, and take frequent breaks to stretch your hands and fingers. Should the condition worsen or become debilitating, it’s advisable to seek a detailed evaluation from a healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome.
