Initially you can use a knee cap during regular activities. Weight is to be assessed and after local examination of knee joint movements medicated pastes applied and tied on knee can help reducing inflammation. Oral medication has to be taken

Considering the timing of your knee pain with your menstrual cycle, it’s possible that hormonal changes or water retention are affecting your joints. However, excess weight might also contribute to joint strain over time. Ayurveda provides a holistic approach tailored to understanding such conditions.

For the knee pain relief, consider using local application of Mahanarayan oil. This ayurvedic oil, when massaged gently around the knee, can soothe inflammation and improve circulation. Warm the oil slightly before applying, and wrap a warm towel around the knee post-application for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring it feels comforted. As a soothing herbal remedy, Guggulu-based formulations can also be helpful due to their anti-inflammatory properties. Please consult an ayurvedic practitioner for the right dosage.

Including certain exercises to strengthen thigh muscles could also help reduce knee strain over time. Try leg raises, seated calf raises, and straight-leg raises. Begin gently and increase intensity gradually. Always listen to how your body responds. Avoid strenous activities when you’re in pain.

Meanwhile, following a Pitta-pacifying diet around your periods could be beneficial, as Pitta increases during this time. Favor foods like cucumbers, sweet fruits, leafy greens, and cooling teas such as fennel or coriander seed tea. Reduce spicy or excessively salty foods, as they increase Pitta and fluid retention.

For weight management, introduce small, consistent lifestyle changes. Reduce portion sizes, opt for whole grains like barley or quinoa, and choose fresh, seasonal vegetables. Regular physical activity, like walking or gentle yoga, practiced daily, improves metabolism and aids weight control. Set realistic goals and monitor progress patiently.

Regarding knee support, you might consider using knee braces for temporary relief, especially during travel or when you’re on your feet for extended periods. Ensure they are snug yet not overly tight to hinder circulation.

Additionally, fostering good digestion (agni) through regular meal times and proper food combinations is crucial for overall health and weight management in Ayurveda. Be conscious of your dietary habits and avoid cold, heavy or greasy foods which can imbalance your doshas further.
