Hello I completely understand what you’re saying. Imagine being a vegetarian all your life and suddenly getting a recommendation to eat eggs, it might be a little bit of a shock and confusion – especially at the age of 69. Don’t worry,we are here to help you out 😊
YOUR CONCERN
You are are experiencing:
Knee pain for the last 3 years Severity: Moderate – daily activities affected Also, you suffer from high blood pressure.
You are a strict vegetarian, and the doctor has advised you to take egg as a source of protein. You are worried that having a boiled egg might somehow lead to negative effects.
This is a typical case of Janu Sandhigata Vata (knee osteoarthritis) according to Ayurveda.
The main reason is a combination of degeneration and poor nutrition of the joints.
Protein is definitely a must; however, an egg is NOT the only source, especially for vegetarians.
INTERNAL MEDICINE (For joint lubrication, pain relief & strengthening)
1. Shallaki Capsule – 1-0-1 after food (Reduces joint inflammation & pain)
2. Balarishta – 15 ml with equal warm water twice daily (Strengthens joints, improves mobility)
3. Asthimitra Vati – 1 at bedtime (Supports bone health)
4.Yogaraj Guggulu – 1 tab twice daily (reduces inflammation)
Visible improvement after 2 months.
EXTERNAL CARE (Pain relief & joint lubrication)
1. Mahanarayan Taila Warm the oil a little Gently massage the oil on the knees for 10 mins Apply mild hot fomentation (hot towel) Do this once daily
Just by doing this, within 4–6 weeks, one can experience about a 40–50% decrease in the condition of being stiff and hurting.
HOME REMEDIES
1. 1 tsp ghee daily (lubricates joints) 2. Turmeric + warm milk at night 3. Methi (fenugreek) soaked overnight – 1 tsp in morning 4. Ajwain hot water fomentation on knees for pain relief
DIET PLAN
INCLUDE ( veg protein source)
Moong dal, masoor dal, rajma, chole Soya chunks/tofu Paneer (in moderation) Sprouts Til (sesame seeds), almonds, walnuts Ragi, jowar, bajra Ghee (½–1 tsp daily)
AVOID
Deep-fried food Excess curd (causes stiffness) Cold drinks, cold foods Packaged foods (sodium increases BP) Heavy wheat at night
IMPORTANT QUESTION: SHOULD YOU START EATING EGGS?
NO — You don’t have to.
Being a strict vegetarian, there is nothing wrong with you if you keep your diet vegetarian.
As a rule, hard-boiled eggs should not cause any negative effects, but:
–For some people, they may increase the feeling of heaviness & cholesterol –In case of high BP, protein from vegetarian sources is the safest According to Ayurveda, eggs are not a must for joints to be healthy. There are complete vegetarian sources of protein.
Thus, you are not required to start eating eggs unless you want to. Your knee pain can be handled without the need to take eggs.
👉What Ayurveda says if your body is not compatible for food item it will cause you ill effects only then that food may be the most healthiest food
Compatibility of food is important
LIFESTYLE TIPS
Walk 20–25 minutes daily Do not sit on the floor / squat Gently exercise knees (strengthening) If you are overweight, control your weight Vitamin D morning sunlight 15 min
INVESTIGATIONS REQUIRED (If not done in the last 6–12 months)
X-ray knees (AP + lateral) Vitamin D3 Vitamin B12 ESR/CRP (if swelling) Thyroid profile (if stiffness predominant)
With the appropriate Ayurveda treatment + diet, your pain can be massively reduced and you will get your mobility back — without the need to eat eggs.
Warm Regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate
