In Ayurveda, knee pain is often linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and flexibility in the body. Prolonged pain or discomfort in the knees can result from Vata aggravation due to factors like improper circulation, dryness, or inflammation in the joints. It may also be influenced by Ama (toxins) accumulating in the body, particularly from poor digestion or improper diet, leading to stiffness and pain.
For Ayurvedic treatment, anti-inflammatory herbs such as Ashwagandha, Guggul, and Turmeric can help reduce pain and swelling. Rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis can be addressed with Shallaki (Boswellia), which has strong joint-supporting properties. Dashamoola is another herb that aids in reducing joint pain and inflammation.
Additionally, internal detoxification with Triphala and regular use of warm sesame oil for Abhyanga (self-massage) can improve circulation, reduce stiffness, and nourish the joints. Practices like gentle yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises) can help maintain joint mobility and flexibility. It’s also important to follow an anti-inflammatory diet, avoiding heavy, cold, or oily foods, and focusing on warm, easily digestible meals to support digestion and overall joint health.
Treatments like lepam, pottali, Pichu therapy, Janu basti etc help a lot in easing the pain and reducing inflammation.
For a more personalised treatment plan, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended to address your specific constitution and underlying imbalances

Knee pain for 9 months, eh? Sounds tough, especially with climbing being an issue. Sometimes, we need to step back and see what our knees trying to tell us. In Ayurveda, knee pain often linked to imbalances in Vata dosha, which governs movement and is like, all over the place when it's aggravated. Here's a few things you might try out, blending some of that good ol' Ayurvedic wisdom with practical stuff.
Let's start with diet, since what we eat really influences Vata. Focus on warm, moist, mildly spiced foods. This means soups, stews, and cooked grains—think rice, oats, and quinoa. Avoid cold, dry, or raw foods, 'cause they can aggravate Vata even more. Add spices like ginger, turmeric, and cloves; they’re awesome for digestion and reducing inflammation.
Self-massage, or abhyanga, is a gentle way to soothe aggravated Vata. Use warm sesame oil, and massage your knees daily. Doing this before a warm bath or shower can really help. Don't have to be perfect at it; just give those knees some love. Leftovers staying behind? Leave for 30 minutes or so before washing off.
Herbs like ashwagandha and guggulu may also help. Ashwagandha offers energy and reduces weakness; Guggulu is great for inflammation. Always a good idea to check in with an Ayurvedic practitioner or your healthcare provider about adding herbs into your routine, just to be sure it's best for you.
Lifestyle-wise, avoid too much heavy lifting or overexertion. Rest is key, but gentle movements like yoga can keep flexibility without stressin’ the knees. Poses like vrikshasana (tree pose) and tadasana (mountain pose) balance without adding pressure.
These little steps can be pretty great helpers, but remember to listen to your body. Any significant change in pain or ability to move would mean another chat with a healthcare professional, ok? Always better to be safe—your health matters, you know?
