Is Ayurvedic Treatment Effective for Chronic Knee Pain? Need Advice on Long-Term Relief - #1319

Anonymous

For the past year, I’ve been dealing with persistent knee pain, especially when climbing stairs or standing for long periods. The pain started as mild discomfort but has progressively gotten worse. I’ve tried physiotherapy, and while it helps temporarily, the pain always comes back. My X-rays show mild degeneration, and I want to avoid steroid injections or surgery if possible. I’ve been reading about Ayurvedic treatments for knee pain, like Janu Basti and herbal oils such as Mahanarayan oil. Has anyone tried these therapies? Did they help with reducing inflammation and improving mobility? I’m also curious if specific herbs like Shallaki or Guggul can offer lasting relief. Any advice on how to combine these treatments with diet changes or exercise would be appreciated.

If you’re dealing with persistent knee pain and mild degeneration, Ayurvedic treatments like **Janu Basti, Pichu, Lepam etc and herbal oils such as **Mahanarayan oil** can offer natural relief by targeting inflammation and nourishing the joint. Janu Basti involves applying warm medicated oil directly to the knee, which helps ease stiffness and enhance mobility. Regular massages with Mahanarayan oil, Kottamchukadi oil combined with gentle heat application, can further alleviate pain. Herbal supplements like **Shallaki** (Boswellia) and **Guggul** provide anti-inflammatory benefits and may help slow joint degeneration. Pairing these therapies with a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods (like turmeric, ginger, and omega-3 sources) and practicing low-impact exercises such as swimming or yoga can support long-term knee health. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor these treatments to your needs and ensure safe integration with any existing medical care.
