SDM Murivenna is an Ayurvedic oil traditionally used for external application on joints and muscles to relieve pain and inflammation. It can be quite helpful in your case where inflammation seems to persist, as it contains a blend of herbs like tamarind leaves and coconut oil, known for their anti-inflammatory and healing properties. You use it by mildly warming the oil—avoid overheating though—and apply directly to the affected areas.
Make sure the area is clean and dry before application. Massage the oil gently into the skin, spending at least 5-10 minutes on each joint. This massage helps to increase blood circulation which is beneficial for reducing stiffness. You can do this twice daily, preferably after you’ve showered in the morning and just before retiring at night.
The oil can also be left on overnight for maximum absorption, but ensure to protect your bedding from staining by covering the area with a cloth. Consistent application over several weeks is typically needed to observe changes.
For your sitting habits, try breaking up long periods, possibly standaing or stretching every 30 minutes, to reduce joint stiffness. Yoga poses that avoid excessive pressure on your knees can also be useful; consider gentle poses that emphasize flexibility, like the butterfly pose or gentle twists.
If after a few weeks you find no improvement or your condition worsens, it’s important to revisit a healthcare professional for further evaluation. While Ayurvedic approaches like Murivenna can be supportive, continual pain may signal the need for further investigation.
