For managing stage 2 knee osteoarthritis and delaying or avoiding surgery, Ayurveda offers holistic approaches focusing on reducing inflammation, improving joint lubrication, and strengthening bones and tissues. Here are some Ayurvedic management tips:
1. Herbal Remedies:
Ashwagandha and Shallaki (Boswellia): Anti-inflammatory herbs that reduce pain and swelling.
Guggulu (especially Yogaraj Guggulu or Mahayogaraj Guggulu): Helps in reducing joint stiffness and improving mobility.
Dashmool Kashayam: Reduces joint inflammation and strengthens muscles.
Hadjod (Cissus quadrangularis): Supports bone and cartilage repair.
2. External Therapies:
Panchakarma Therapies:
Janu Basti: Retaining medicated warm oil over the knees to reduce pain and nourish joints.
Abhyanga: Daily gentle massage with Mahanarayan oil or Dhanwantharam oil.
Njavara Kizhi: A special rice bolus therapy for joint stiffness.
Lepam (Herbal Paste): Applying herbal pastes like Rasnadi Churna or Eranda leaf paste to reduce pain.
3. Diet & Lifestyle:
Bone-Nourishing Foods: Include milk, sesame seeds, almonds, ghee, and fresh green vegetables.
Avoid cold foods, processed items, and excessive salt which aggravate joint issues.
Stay hydrated to maintain joint lubrication.
4. Yoga & Exercises:
Gentle yoga poses like Vrikshasana (Tree Pose), Tadasana, and Setu Bandhasana.
Low-impact exercises to strengthen knee muscles, such as cycling or walking (on soft surfaces).
5. Supplements:
Calcium and Vitamin D supplements (Ayurvedic or conventional) can support bone health.
Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance and therapies. While complete reversal of damage is unlikely, consistent Ayurvedic care can significantly reduce pain, improve mobility, and delay surgery.

Sounds like you're dealing with quite a bit. Knee issues aren’t easy, especially when the doc throws out words like "stage 2" and talks surgery down the road. But don’t worry, we can explore some Ayurvedic approaches to help improve your condition.
Firstly, let's look at your dosha balance. Knee problems often relate to Vata dosha imbalances, especially with age. Vata governs movement, and in Ayurveda, it’s linked with drying and wear and tear effects in the body. So, our focus should be on pacifying Vata. You could try including more warming and moisturizing foods in your diet. Think of ghee, warming spices like ginger and turmeric, even some sesame oil. You could even try giving yourself a gentle knee massage with warm sesame or Mahanarayan oil, which can be quite soothing.
Keeping the digestive fire or agni strong is another cornerstone in Ayurveda. Sip some hot water or ginger tea through the day to keep everything moving smoothly. Warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest will support this too. How’s your digestion been? Sometimes we overlook it, but it's crucial.
Exercise is important, but you got to be gentle. Consider yoga or tai chi, something that’s mindful of your joints. Even short, slow walks can be beneficial as they enhance circulation without putting too much strain on the knees.
Herbs like Ashwagandha and Shallaki (Boswellia) might also be worth exploring as they have anti-inflammatory properties understood within Ayurvedic medicinal framework. However, before you try new herbs, check with someone who knows your health history, to ensure there's no clash with any existing medications or treatments.
Of course, if things feel worse or you’re worried about continued pain, reaching out to a healthcare professional is key. Ayurveda has its place, but understanding when to combine interventions is part of being truly holistic.
