Heberden's nodes - #22048
Elizabeth
Hello, I have osteoarthritis and have developed Heberden's nodes in my fingers. My rheumatologist told me there is nothing that will help me and because I have pain in other areas of my hands & body, he gave me steroid shots. I have stopped going to him because I do not want to have steroid injections anymore and I’m hoping for a more holistic approach to my health. Is there hope for me?

Hello Elizabeth
• HEBERDEN'S NODES are hard bony Extra growths developed IN SEVERE OSTEOARTHRITIS
• As U have Age Related Severe Osteoarthritis u have this
• Taking Steroids For These issues may Help Temporary but get severe side effects later .So Steroids ARE NOT GOOD CHOICE
• There is Best Ayurvedic Treatment Available for reducing size of Heberden's Nodes
• IN MY CLINICAL PRACTICE I HAVE SEEN BEST RESULTS WITH ( 100 % WORKING U MUST TRY )
AYURVEDIC MEDICINES
* Tab.Kanchanaar Guggulu ( SDL Pharma ) 2-0-2 After Food
* Tab.Nityananda Ras ( Baidyanath Pharma) 1 -0 - 1 After Food
* Cap.Curcumin 500 mg 1 -0-1 After Food
* Syrup.Varanadi Kashayam 15 ml -0-15 ml Night After Food
* Tila Tailam Local Application Gentle Massage Followed By Mild Hot Fomentation
* If Medicine seems less working then Panchakarma Option to consider
• DO'S - Prefer Alkaline Highly Nutritious Leafy Vegetables Fruits salads sprouts Fibers Dry Fruits Milk products etc Mild mobility flexibility Exersise Dhyan Meditation etc
• DON'TS - Avoid Spicy Salty Sour Masala Fried Fast Foods Inflammatory foods like Curd Fermented food Sedentary Lifestyle Stress etc

The development of Heberden's nodes, especially in the context of osteoarthritis, is a condition where Ayurveda can indeed offer supportive care to improve your quality of life. While Ayurveda may not reverse the osteoarthritis entirely, it may help in managing the symptoms, relieving discomfort, and improving joint function over time with consistent practice.
First, considering osteoarthritis is predominantly a Vata dosha imbalance, we should focus on pacifying Vata through diet and lifestyle changes. Introduce warming, nourishing foods such as soups, stews, and cooked grains, and avoid cold, dry, and raw foods that may aggravate Vata. Incorporate healthy fats like ghee and olive oil to lubricate joints.
Daily self-massage with warm sesame or mahanarayan oil could be beneficial to prevent stiffness and facilitate circulation. Gentle yoga and stretching exercises tailored for arthritis can help maintain flexibility and reduce stiffness in hands and other joints. Always listen to your body and avoid overexertion, though, try aiming for consistency rather intensity.
Since Heberden's nodes indicate chronicity, herbs like Boswellia, known in Ayurveda as Shallaki, and turmeric (Haridra) may provide natural anti-inflammatory benefits. Take turmeric with black pepper or formulated as curcumin supplements for better absorption. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal formulations.
Ensuring proper digestion is vital for minimizing Ama (toxins) accumulation, so ensure light and digestible meals. Use spices like ginger and cumin in cooking to enhance agni, your digestive fire.
Lastly, mindfulness and stress reduction techniques such as meditation can have a positive impact in managing pain perception. While these approaches require patience and adherence, you may find comfort knowing they address the root cause and promote overall balance. Regular follow-ups with an experienced practitioner would be helpful to adjust treatments as needed.
