Hello how much is your ESR & CRP values now?

Hi Kausar,

It sounds like your vata dosha is imbalanced, leading to joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. In Ayurveda, this is often seen as vata aggravation, especially after an illness like chikungunya.

To manage this:

Warm oil massage with Mahanarayan oil or Sesame oil can help reduce stiffness and swelling. Anti-inflammatory herbs like turmeric (Curcumin) and Guggulu can help reduce pain and inflammation. Diet: Focus on warm, grounding foods like soups, cooked vegetables, and avoid cold or dry foods. Restorative practices like gentle yoga or stretching to improve mobility.

Are you currently using any specific treatments or medications for joint pain?

Oh I see, chikungunya can be quite challenging especially with the lingering joint pain it brings. In Ayurveda, this type of pain is often connected to an imbalance in the Vata dosha. Here’s what might help to get things back on track:

First, let’s focus on some simple home remedies to soothe the Vata. Try using warm sesame oil for gentle massage on your painful joints; it’s believed to be grounding and warming, helping to balance Vata. Massage each joint gently, maybe a few times a day if possible.

A simple kitchen concoction that could help involves dry ginger powder and turmeric. Mix about half a teaspoon of each in a glass of warm water, and take this twice daily. These are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, aiding pain relief.

Don’t overlook your diet here – stick to warm, cooked foods; avoid cold, raw or dried meals which can aggravate Vata. You want nurturing foods like soups, stews, and porridge. Adding some ghee or oils to your diet can also be really nourishing.

Yoga or light stretching are great, but if it’s too painful, focus on breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom which can be soothing for your mind and body.

And when it comes to lifestyle, keep warm, always. Wrap up with woolen clothes, avoid exposure to cold weather, and try to minimize stress as it can disturb Vata.

If pain continues, though, do check in with an experienced Ayurvedic doctor. They might suggest Panchakarma detox therapies which could significantly aid your condition. Remember, your body takes time, be patient with yourself; healing is a journey, not a race.

And hey, we’re here to help, so keep track of whats working for you n adjust as needed.
