How Can Ayurvedic Remedies for Osteoarthritis Help With My Joint Pain? - #22153

Zoey

I am dealing with some serious joint pain, especially in my knees and hands, and I think I might have osteoarthritis. I’ve been told that ayurvedic remedies for osteoarthritis could help me out. So, I went to a local practitioner who recommended some herbs and dietary changes. I've tried turmeric and ginger tea which taste kinda good but honestly, I’m not seeing much improvement yet. I am getting worried because it's affecting my daily life. I mean, it’s hard to climb stairs or even walk long distances without pain. Could anyone share their experiences or suggest other ayurvedic remedies for osteoarthritis? I’ve read about ashwagandha and boswellia but not sure if they are what I need. Also, how long does it usually take for ayurvedic remedies for osteoarthritis to start working? Maybe I need to adjust my diet further or? Any tips or personal stories would really help! Thanks!!!

as you tried turmeric and ginger they both are antiinfllamatory in nature and can help by supporting reduce inflammation but not 1st line of treatment

as osteoarthritis need special attention regarding this you can start with if feasible go for panchakarma detox therapy which will give amazing relief - go for basti procedure, medicated enema treatment and Can also go for leech therapy

start this medications for your concern 100% effective 1) mahayogaraj guggulu- 2 tab twice daily after meals with warm water 2) Shallaki Capsule- 1 twice daily after meals with water 3) Dashmoolarista- 20 ml thrice daily with water after meals 4) Rasanadi guggulu- 2 tab twice daly after meals 5)Laxadi guggulu- 1 tab thrice after melas

externally Apply Mahanarayan taila massage daily followed by hot steaming Nirgundi taila application at night

if constipation then take tripahla churna- 1tsp with warm water at bed time to relieve constipation

eat warm, cooked,unctous food avoid dry, raw salads, cold foods avoid tomatoes egg plants that may worsen pain drink warm water infused with fenugreek and carom seeds soaked night

gentle yoga practices warm water bath massage daily will help

duration of treatment- 3 tp 6 weeks to show visible results continue for 12weeks to get proper results

When it comes to managing osteoarthritis with Ayurveda, it’s important to understand that healing is often a gradual process. The fact that you’ve already started with turmeric and ginger tea is a good step - both are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. However, consistent use over a longer period might be necessary before you notice significant changes. In Ayurvedic terms, osteoarthritis is often associated with Vata imbalances, which can cause dryness and degradation in the joints.

Considering your condition, Ashwagandha and Boswellia could really offer benefits as they’re known for their role in maintaining joint health. Ashwagandha is generally renowned for reducing inflammation and fortifying tissues, while Boswellia is often recommended to alleviate pain and improve mobility. These may take a few weeks or even months to show noticeable improvements, so patience is key.

Additionally, adjusting your diet could help balance your Vata. Focus on warm, moist, and nutritious foods. Avoiding cold, raw foods, and excess caffeine can be beneficial. Consider incorporating more ghee, whole grains like rice, and cooked vegetables into your meals. Ensure you’re hydrated with room temperature water throughout the day.

Incorporating yoga and gentle exercises into your routine can significantly help in maintaining joint flexibility and mobility. Movements should be gentle, not causing pain. Practices like Tai Chi might also contribute to improving balance and reducing stress.

In terms of herbal supplements, do consult with your Ayurvedic practitioner before trying new herbs or supplements to ensure they align with your unique Prakriti (constitution) and current health status. Since you’re experiencing significant pain, perhaps discuss with the practitioner about therapeutic massage (abhyanga) using warm oils like sesame or mahanarayan oil to ease discomfort and enhance circulation around the joints.

Ultimately, Ayurvedic remedies require consistent application and often work best in combination with other holistic lifestyle modifications. Give it time, stay consistent, and work closely with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor approaches suited just for you.
