Ayurveda views the severe joint pain and swelling associated with Chikungunya as a condition similar to what is described as “Sandhijwara,” or “fever of the joints.” The symptoms are attributed to an imbalance, particularly of the Vata and Kapha doshas. The Ayurvedic approach aims to not only alleviate symptoms but also to address the underlying imbalance and remove toxins (ama) from the body.
​

​Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Gentle massage with warm medicated oils like Mahanarayan Tailam, Dhanvantaram Tailam, or Mahavishgarbh Tailam on the painful joints can help balance Vata and Kapha, improve blood circulation, and reduce pain and stiffness.

​Swedana (Herbal Steam Therapy): This therapy involves sweating through herbal steam. It helps relax stiff muscles, promotes circulation, and aids in the elimination of toxins.

​Dietary and Lifestyle Recommendations ​Warm and Nourishing Foods: Emphasize foods that pacify Vata and Kapha doshas, such as warm soups, stews, and porridges with anti-inflammatory spices like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper.
​Hydration: Drink plenty of lukewarm water and herbal teas (ginger, turmeric, Tulsi) throughout the day to stay hydrated and support joint health.
​Avoid: Steer clear of cold, raw, and dry foods, which can aggravate Vata dosha and worsen joint pain.
​Rest and Gentle Movement: Get adequate rest and avoid overexertion. Once the acute pain subsides, gentle exercises like yoga (e.g., Bhujangasana, Balasana) and pranayama can help improve flexibility, circulation, and reduce stress.
​Avoid Cold: Keep the affected joints warm with warm compresses or thermal wear, as cold weather can worsen symptoms.
