Rheumatoid Oil Massage: Does It Really Help With Pain Relief? - #1183

Anonymously

I’ve been living with rheumatoid arthritis for about 5 years now. The joint pain, especially in my hands and knees, can be unbearable on some days. I’ve tried various medications and even cortisone injections, but the relief doesn’t last long. A friend suggested that Ayurvedic oil massage might help with reducing pain and stiffness, but I’ve never tried it before. I’ve heard about different oils like Mahanarayan oil and Dhanvantaram Thailam being used for rheumatoid arthritis. Can anyone share their experience with these oils for rheumatoid oil massage? Did it help ease your joint pain and improve mobility? I’m also curious about how often the massage needs to be done and whether it’s better to go to a professional Ayurvedic therapist or if self-massage at home works too. I’m really hoping to find a natural way to manage my symptoms without relying solely on painkillers.

Ayurvedic oil massages can be very effective for managing joint pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis, as they help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and ease muscle tension. Oils like Mahanarayan oil and Dhanvantaram Thailam are often used for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to nourish the joints. These oils are infused with herbs that help relieve pain, reduce swelling, and promote mobility. Regular massage, ideally once or twice a day, can provide long-term benefits. While self-massage at home can be helpful, visiting a professional Ayurvedic therapist may enhance the benefits, as they can apply the oils with specific techniques and pressure that target the affected areas more effectively. The warmth and absorption of the oils into the joints can help provide immediate relief, but for lasting results, it's important to combine this with other Ayurvedic treatments, such as herbal formulations and dietary changes, that address the root cause of the imbalance. Many people with rheumatoid arthritis find significant relief from using these oils regularly as part of a broader Ayurvedic treatment plan, especially when combined with lifestyle adjustments to reduce stress and inflammation.
