For managing osteoarthritis and ligament tears in the knees through Ayurveda, here’s a condensed plan with formulations and treatments:
1. Ayurvedic Formulations:
Rasnadi Guggulu:
Reduces inflammation and pain in the joints.
Dosage: 1-2 tablets twice daily.
Dashmoolarishta:
Relieves joint pain and supports muscle strength.
Dosage: 2 tablespoons twice daily with water.
Kaishore Guggulu:
Treats chronic arthritis and improves joint mobility.
Dosage: 1-2 tablets twice daily.
Chandraprabha Vati:
Eases joint stiffness and inflammation.
Dosage: 1-2 tablets twice daily.
2. External Treatments:
Knee Oil Massage:
Use Mahanarayan oil or Sesame oil to massage the knees for relief from stiffness and pain.
Massage gently for 5-10 minutes daily.
Janu Vasti:
Warm medicated oil retained on the knees helps reduce inflammation and pain.
3. Diet and Lifestyle:
Anti-inflammatory Foods:
Include ginger, turmeric, garlic, and omega-3 fatty acids (fish, walnuts).
Avoid processed foods and excess caffeine.
Exercise:
Engage in gentle yoga, swimming, and walking to improve mobility without straining the knees.
4. Panchakarma Therapies:
Basti Therapy:
Detoxifies and reduces joint stiffness by balancing Vata dosha.
Swedana (Steam Therapy):
Reduces pain and stiffness by improving circulation.
5. Consult an Ayurvedic Doctor:
Personalized treatment, including Panchakarma, should be guided by an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Knee pain, especially with a marathon on your bucket list, is like a puzzle, isn't it? Let's try make sense of it through an Ayurvedic lens. At 55, joint issues often hint at vata imbalance, particularly when it's about knees, known as sandhi gata vata. So we wanna keep those joints lubricated and strong. One simple move? Start your day with a glass of warm water mixed with half a teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder. Ashwagandha’s known to boost strength and reduce inflammation... pretty handy.
Another thing you should try - ever heard of Mahanarayana tailam? It’s an oil excellent for soothing those knees. Gently massage it on your knees every night before sleeping. It's like giving them a bedtime story, but with a happy ending. You could also wrap a warm towel around after the massage – keeps the warmth intact.
Diet? Gotta watch that too. Make sure there's plenty of healthy fats – ghee, sesame oil, avocados – in your meals. These fats are as good as lubricating your car engine, but here, it's your joints. Include more cooked veggies, millets, and warm foods. Avoid too much raw stuff, your digestion will thank you.
Exercise is double-edged when it comes to knees, so begin with low-impact stuff like cycling or swimming. They’re easier on your knees while still building up stamina. Once you're comfy with that and if it feels right, gradually increase the intensity.
Remember, listen to your body. Pain's like a traffic light – don't run the red! And if pain's stubborn, chirpy, or getting worse, time to chat with a doctor. Before you lace those shoes for a marathon, let’s get those knees smiling again… patiently. You got this!
