Which is the best Ayurvedic medicine for arthritis for long-term joint pain relief? - #13593
I’ve been dealing with arthritis for nearly six years now, and it’s starting to affect my daily life in ways I never expected. The stiffness in my knees and fingers makes simple things like walking, writing, and even cooking a struggle. Some days are better than others, but on bad days, the pain is unbearable. My doctor has put me on painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, but I don’t want to be dependent on them forever. Recently, I started researching Ayurvedic medicine for arthritis to see if there are natural alternatives. I’ve read that Ayurveda focuses on reducing inflammation, balancing Vata dosha, and detoxifying the body to relieve joint pain. Some herbs that keep coming up include Guggulu, Shallaki, Ashwagandha, and Rasna, which are known to help with joint health. But I have so many questions! Has anyone here tried Ayurvedic medicine for arthritis? If so, which specific medicines or formulations worked best for you? I see a lot of options like Maha Yogaraj Guggulu, Simhanada Guggulu, and Dashmool Kwath, but I have no idea which one is most effective. Also, do these medicines actually reduce joint damage, or do they just help with pain relief? How long does it take before you start noticing improvements? And do I need to follow a strict Ayurvedic diet alongside these medicines for them to work properly? One more thing—are there any side effects I should be aware of when taking Ayurvedic medicine for arthritis? I want to make sure I’m choosing something safe for long-term use. Would love to hear real experiences from people who have successfully managed their arthritis with Ayurveda!
