Avascular necrosis (AVN) is indeed a serious condition, and understanding how it affects your body is key. In Ayurveda, AVN is often linked to imbalances in Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to issues with bone tissue (asthi dhatu) and circulation. AVN Kaishora Gulgulu DS is a formulation commonly used in managing inflammation and supporting joint health, mainly through addressing systemic inflammation and detoxification, which can temporarily support your condition.
However, it is important to note that while Kaishora Gulgulu contains ingredients like Guggul, known for anti-inflammatory properties, it addresses symptoms rather than the root causes of AVN which typically involve bone blood supply. It’s often used as a supplementary treatment. Duration of use can vary, but starting with a moderate dose, say 1-2 tablets twice daily after meals, is typical. Measure your body’s response and consult regularly with an Ayurvedic practitioner to assess efficacy and safety.
Combining it with lifestyle changes is crucial. Focus on a Vata-Pitta balancing diet: avoid very cold, dry, and spicy foods, and include nourishing, warm, and moist foods. Regular, gentle yoga or low-impact exercises can help maintain mobility without stressing the joints, but they should not cause pain. Practicing Abhyanga—gentle oil massage with warm sesame oil—can soothe joints and support circulation.
Remember, AVN can progress, so ongoing consultation with your healthcare providers, both Ayurvedic and allopathic, is vital to prevent further degeneration. Ensure you seek immediate medical help if you notice any sudden increase in pain, stiffness, or difficulty in movement. Balancing treatment between traditional remedies and conventional medicine might offer the best approach to managing AVN effectively.
