The description you provided seems indicative of a condition commonly associated with osteoarthritis in the fingers, often characterized by the formation of nodes like Bouchard's nodes at the proximal interphalangeal joints. Ayurveda views such conditions as a result of dosha imbalances, particularly Vata. Here, I'll offer some insights and suggestions rooted in Ayurvedic principles to help you manage this condition.

First, consider incorporating a Vata-pacifying diet. This means favoring warm, cooked foods over raw or cold meals. Foods like ghee, olive oil, nuts, and sesame oil can help lubricate the joints. You might try consuming ginger tea regularly; ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and helps in alleviating joint discomfort.

Daily massage of the fingers with warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil can significantly aid in reducing stiffness and increase flexibility. Gently massaging for 10 to 15 minutes each evening can soothe aggravated Vata in the joints. 

Reducing stress is crucial, as stress can exacerbate Vata disorders. Practicing meditation or gentle yoga specifically designed for arthritis can promote relaxation and balance.

Add herbs such as Ashwagandha and Shallaki (Boswellia) to your regimen. These herbs have been known to support inflammation reduction and joint health. Taking Ashwagandha capsules, according to the instruction, may help strengthen the tissues.

Warm compresses applied to the affected finger can alleviate discomfort. Use regularly, especially during times when the symptoms become more severe. 

Maintaining regular movement is essential, but avoid overstraining the joint. Finger stretches and small mobility exercises improve circulation and promote movement. Consider doing these softly each morning.

Keep in mind, severe conditions might require consultation with a healthcare specialist familiar with both Ayurvedic and conventional approaches. Immediate evaluation might be warranted if there's significant pain or further development of symptoms.
