In Ayurveda, joint pain after chikungunya is often linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which affects the joints and causes stiffness, pain, and discomfort. This condition is sometimes referred to as "Vata-vyadhi" when there is pain in the joints and muscles. To manage this, you can use herbs like Ashwagandha, Guggulu, and Shallaki, which have anti-inflammatory properties and help strengthen the joints. Regular oil massage (Abhyanga) with warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil can soothe the joints and improve circulation. You can also include turmeric and ginger in your diet, as they are natural anti-inflammatory agents. Warm soups, stews, and easily digestible foods will support joint health. Light stretching exercises and gentle yoga may also help improve mobility. It is essential to avoid cold foods or drinks, as they can aggravate Vata and worsen the pain. A balanced routine, along with stress-reducing practices like meditation, will support recovery.

Ah, joint pain after chikungunya, that can be harsh, no doubt. Typically, after chikungunya, the joint pain might linger, sometimes even for months. Seems like you're dealing with satta (residual effects) of the virus, which can effect joints for a while. Firstly, think about your diet. Try warm, nourishing foods, nothing too cold. Khichdi seasoned with a little ginger is often soothing. Avoid heavy, oily items that might lag down digestion. Hydration's key—hot water, herbal teas like ginger, tulsi, or ajwain can be helpful. For some relief, consider an herbal paste like Mahanarayana taila. Warm it up a bit and then gently massage it on the painful joints. Do this once or twice a day—just a minute or two for each joint. And be careful, don’t use strong pressure, it's all about soothing. About your daily routine engage in simple, gentle stretches. Maybe a few pranayama, like Anulom Vilom or gentle yoga that focuses on joints. Nothing intense, just enough to keep mobility without strain. Always listen to your body, if it feels too much, back off a bit. Rest! I can’t stress how important it is—elevate your legs when resting. Stress contributes to Vata imbalance, so a bit of self-compassion matters. Since you have no fever, that sounds like Agni might be a bit low. Consider Trikatu churna to enhance metabolism—use sparingly, like half teaspoon with warm water after meals, just once daily, not more. Remember, you're not alone in this. If things don’t improve or get sharper, consider checking in with your healthcare provider for more tailored support. It's ok to need some extra backup. Take care!
