Oh Waseem, I'm sorry to hear what your brother, Abdul Sattar, is going through. Arthritis can be really tough, especially when it affects multiple joints. But Ayurveda has some gentle yet effective approaches to help manage the discomfort and support joint health. Now, considering that he's 55, we should focus on balancing the Vata dosha, which tends to cause dryness, stiffness, and pain when imbalanced. First thing, diet plays a significant role. Try incorporating warm, cooked meals that are oily and nourishing – think about ghee, sesame oil, and spices like ginger and turmeric. Both are really great for inflammation reduction. Make sure he avoids cold, dry foods, and anything that's too spicy or salty, as these might aggravate his Vata. Herb-wise, ashwagandha can be really supportive. It helps to strengthen the body and combat the wear and tear on the joints. If he takes a good ashwagandha Churna (powder), about 1 teaspoon with warm milk, that could be helpful. Also, turmeric, with piperine (found in black pepper), can enhance its effectiveness. There's also some practical stuff he can do daily. Warm oil massage with sesame oil can be great – it's like giving the joints a big hug! About 15-20 minutes before a warm shower would be ideal. Just make sure the oil isn't too hot. Remember, consistency's key, so build a routine that suits him. Plus, light exercises like walking or simple yoga postures can help keep the joints moving without causing strain. But, and it’s essential, always keep a track with a physician if the pain’s persistent or severe. We don’t wanna overlook something critical. Always prioritize professional assessments alongside traditional remedies. Hope this is helpful, and I genuinely wish Abdul all best for his recovery. Take care!
