Ayurveda treatment for knee joint pain: Need help with long-term relief - #1151

Anonymously

I’m 48 and have been dealing with severe knee joint pain for over a year now. It started with occasional discomfort, but now the pain has become almost constant, especially when climbing stairs or even just sitting for a long time. The x-rays show mild osteoarthritis, and my doctor suggested painkillers, but I really want to avoid relying on them long-term. I’ve been researching Ayurvedic treatments and found mentions of therapies like Janu Basti, Abhyanga, and herbal oils like Mahanarayan oil for joint pain relief. Has anyone tried these Ayurvedic remedies specifically for knee joint pain? How effective were they, and did you see any lasting results? Also, are there certain dietary changes or herbs that might help with joint inflammation and pain reduction? I’m trying to avoid surgery or cortisone injections, so any advice on managing this through Ayurveda would be really helpful.

In Ayurveda, knee joint pain, especially due to osteoarthritis, is often linked to a Vata dosha imbalance, which governs movement and lubrication in the body. Therapies like Janu Basti, where warm medicated oil is applied to the knee area, can be highly effective in reducing pain, inflammation, and stiffness by promoting circulation and nourishing the joints. Abhyanga (oil massage) with herbal oils like Mahanarayan oil helps in alleviating muscle tension and improving joint mobility. These treatments can provide significant relief, but for lasting results, consistency is key. Along with these therapies, dietary changes are also important. Eating foods that help reduce inflammation, such as turmeric, ginger, and ghee, and avoiding excessive cold, dry, or spicy foods can support healing. Herbs like Ashwagandha, Guggulu, and Boswellia are known to support joint health and reduce inflammation. A balanced approach that includes these treatments, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications can help manage pain and improve joint function over time without the need for surgery or long-term medication. However, it’s best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
