Hey, the joint pain and stiffness you’re describing, it sounds like you’re on the right track thinking it might be connected to sang jarahat. In Ayurveda, that’s typically associated with Vata dosha imbalance. Cold weather, which you said makes it worse, yeah that’s classic Vata goin’ outta whack. You mentioned swelling too, that’s often a sign of Kapha involvement as well.
Now, about treatments… Dashmool? Nailed it! It’s really good for balancing Vata and can be used in decoctions. It helps reduce inflammation and pain. Panchakarma therapies, especially ones like Snehan (oiling) and Swedan (sudation), work wonders to get that Vata moving in the right direction.
But let’s not forget about diet. Warmer foods with spices like ginger and turmeric help pacify Vata. Think warming soups and stews instead of salads or cold foods. Oh and loads of fluids help keep things lubricated. You want things a lil more cooked and moist. Dry foods? Not your friends right now.
Exercise? Gentle and consistent is key. Yoga could be great! Look for postures that’re easy on the joints but help in stretching and stabilizing – think cat-cow or child’s pose, they’re awesome.
Honestly, seeing improvement? It varies so much. Could be a few weeks before you start noticing changes – patience is huge with natural remedies. Some people swear by weekly massage, or regular herbal decoctions, and start feeling better after one or two months, so it really depends.
Have you talked with ayurvedic physician who can sync up with your specific condition and guide you? That’d be worth looking into to get something tailored to you, and make sure nothing’s clashing with any other treatments you might be on. And hey, if anything feels off, do not wait to reach out to a healthcare professional, alright? Safety first. Take care!
