What Is Tennis Elbow and How Can Ayurveda Help in Managing It? - #15004
A few months ago, I started experiencing pain and tenderness on the outside of my elbow, especially after lifting or using my arm for extended periods. I visited a doctor who diagnosed me with tennis elbow, a condition caused by overuse of the tendons in the elbow. The doctor recommended rest and physiotherapy, but the pain hasn’t completely gone away, and I’m finding it difficult to get back to my regular activities. I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers natural remedies for managing conditions like tennis elbow. Can Ayurvedic treatments help reduce inflammation, promote healing of the tendons, and relieve pain from tennis elbow? I’ve read that herbs like Ashwagandha and Turmeric can help reduce inflammation—could these be beneficial in my case? I’m also curious if there are Ayurvedic oils or therapies, such as massage with Mahanarayan oil or the use of hot and cold compresses, that can help in the healing process. Are there specific stretches or exercises in Ayurveda that can aid in strengthening the elbow and preventing further injury? Has anyone here had tennis elbow and found relief through Ayurvedic remedies or lifestyle changes? What treatments, oils, or practices worked for you in managing pain and promoting healing?
