Knee pain - #1610

In Ayurveda, knee pain at a younger age can indicate a Vata imbalance, leading to joint dryness and stiffness. Here are key Ayurvedic approaches: 1. Single herb Remedies: Ashwagandha, Guggul, and Shallaki (Boswellia): These herbs reduce inflammation and improve joint flexibility. Turmeric and Ginger: Include these for their anti-inflammatory benefits. 2. External Treatments: Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Use warm Mahanarayan or Sesame oil on the knee daily. Janu Basti: Warm medicated oil therapy provides deep relief for chronic pain. 3. Diet and Lifestyle: Eat warm, cooked foods and use ghee or sesame oil to lubricate joints. Avoid cold, dry foods. Gentle exercises like yoga can strengthen knees without strain. Use warm compresses to soothe pain. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a tailored plan, possibly including Basti therapy for deeper Vata balance.
