The gap you mentioned in the X-ray could be related to a joint issue, possibly involving vertebral disc spacing or joint wear. In Ayurveda, this can be linked to Vata imbalance, which affects bones and joints, leading to degeneration or improper alignment. To address this, a comprehensive approach that strengthens the joints, reduces inflammation, and balances Vata is essential. Start by incorporating Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm Mahanarayan or Dhanvantaram oil to nourish and strengthen the bones and joints. Consuming Guggulu preparations, such as Yograj Guggulu or Kshirabala Taila, internally may also support joint health and reduce pain or discomfort. Ensure that your diet includes calcium-rich foods like sesame seeds, milk, and ghee, which help strengthen bones, and follow a Vata-pacifying diet—warm, cooked meals with mild spices. Gentle exercises like yoga or stretches are important to maintain mobility and prevent stiffness, especially since you may have a more sedentary lifestyle as a stay-at-home mom. Additionally, using Bala (Sida cordifolia) or Ashwagandha in your daily routine will help improve bone health and general vitality.

Knee pain can be quite pesky, especially when you’re busy as a stay-at-home mom. The gap between your knee joints, often seen in an x-ray, might suggest some wear and tear, possibly early signs of osteoarthritis. But don't worry, Ayurveda has some good supportive remedies for you.
First things first, reducing inflammation and supporting the joint is essential. Try including more anti-inflammatory spices in your diet like turmeric, ginger, and garlic. They not only help with pain but also boost your immune system. You can make a paste of turmeric with milk once a day. Mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric in warm milk and drink it before bed, great for calming Vata.
Daily gentle yoga, focusing on asanas that strengthen and stretch the knee, can be magical. Consider poses like the Pawanmuktasana series which are gentle and effective for joints. Think of movements that don't strain. Just listen to your body – some days it might not want to cooperate, and that’s cool too.
Abhyanga (self-massage) is another gem. Use warm sesame or Mahanarayan oil on your affected knee. Massage in gentle circular motions before your shower, if possible, let the oil soak for about 15-30 minutes. This can improve circulation and ease stiffness a bit.
Diet-wise, ensure your meals are nourishing and balanced. Stick to warm, cooked meals rather than raw and cold food. Think of soups and stews with plenty of vegetables and whole grains. And mind your hydration! Water helps keep the joints lubricated - don’t overlook it. At least 8-10 glasses a day.
If pain persists or gets worse, do consult an orthopedic doctor. Occasionally, Ayurveda needs to team up with conventional treatments for the best results. And that's totally alright!
