How Effective Is Ayurveda for Arthritis Treatment? Can It Provide Long-Term Pain Relief? - #13219
I have been struggling with arthritis for several years, and while painkillers provide temporary relief, I want to explore Ayurveda for arthritis treatment as a long-term, natural solution. Ayurveda believes that arthritis is caused by an imbalance in Vata dosha, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Some sources suggest that herbal oils like Mahanarayan Tailam can help reduce pain and improve flexibility, while formulations such as Panchatikta Ghrita Guggulu and Rasnadi Churna are commonly used to detoxify the body and relieve inflammation. I am also interested in Ayurvedic therapies like Basti (medicated enema) and Abhyanga (oil massage) to ease joint stiffness. However, I am unsure how effective these treatments are for chronic arthritis and whether they can prevent further joint deterioration. Some Ayurvedic practitioners also recommend specific dietary changes, such as avoiding cold and heavy foods and following a Vata-pacifying diet. If anyone has undergone Ayurveda for arthritis treatment, please share your experience. Did it help with pain management and mobility improvement? How long did it take to see results, and did you have to combine it with yoga or any other lifestyle modifications?
