What Is the Best Ayurvedic Treatment for Sandhi Vata? - #13831
Lately, my joints have been giving me a lot of trouble—stiffness in the morning, pain when I move, and a general feeling of weakness in my knees and fingers. My grandfather had arthritis, so I’m worried I might be heading in the same direction. When I went to an Ayurvedic doctor, he said I have Sandhi Vata, which basically means joint pain caused by Vata imbalance. I was told that Panchakarma therapy, herbal oils, and certain dietary changes can help manage Sandhi Vata, but there are so many treatments that I don’t know where to start. Some say Abhyanga (oil massage) with Mahanarayan oil works best, others say Kati Basti or Janu Basti are more effective. I’ve also heard about herbs like Guggulu and Ashwagandha being good for Sandhi Vata, but I don’t know how to use them properly. Has anyone successfully treated Sandhi Vata with Ayurveda? Which treatments worked best for you? Do I need to make any lifestyle changes along with the treatment to prevent it from getting worse? Would love to hear from anyone who has gone through this and found relief.
