HELLO,

When a person slips and lands on their knees, the impact can hurt the soft tissues, cartilage, and ligaments around the knee joints. Even if bones are not fractured, this sudden trauma can cause micro-inflammation, stiffness, and imbalance in how the knee moves Now, when this person also spends long hours standing or climbing stairs, the body weight keeps pressing on already injured joints, leading to wear and tear, mild swelling and pain that gets worse by evening

In Ayurveda, such pain after trauma and overuse is mainly due to an imbalance (vitiation) of vata dosha, especially in the asthi (bone) and sandhi (joint)

Knee and foot pain you’re experiencing can indeed be connected to your recent falls and prolonged standing. In Ayurveda, such symptoms are often associated with Vata dosha imbalance, which affects the bones and joints. The impact of slipping might have caused some strain or minor injury to knee ligaments or the joint itself, leading to pain and potential inflammation. Standing for long periods and frequently climbing stairs can exacerbate stress on the joints, particularly in the lower legs and feet.

To address these issues, consider incorporating some Ayurveda-based approaches:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Favor warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Including anti-inflammatory herbs like turmeric and ginger could be beneficial. These can be added to meals or consumed as teas. Ensure to consume adequate healthy fats like ghee or sesame oil to lubricate joints.

2. External Therapies: Apply warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil on the knees and feet before bathing. These oils have properties that help alleviate Vata imbalance and soothe joint pains.

3. Gentle Exercise: Engage in low-impact activities like gentle yoga or swimming, which helps maintain joint flexibility without putting undue stress on your knees and feet. Ensure to stretch gently post-exercise.

4. Rest and Elevation: Resting your knees and intermittently elevating them can help reduce pain and swelling. Ensure you’re taking adequate breaks if long standing is unavoidable.

5. Herbal Aids: Consider herbs like Ashwagandha and Shallaki; known for their anti-inflammatory properties. They can aid in strengthening the joints and reducing pain.

If pain persists or worsens, it is crucial to consult a health professional or physiotherapist. They can assess for structural damage and advise on specific strengthening or rehabilitative exercises. Remember that immediate consult with a healthcare provider is essential if any symptoms are severe, to rule out or address potential injuries effectively.
