The combination of Mahanarayan and Mahamasha oil is indeed a classic Ayurvedic remedy often used for muscle pain due to their Vata pacifying properties. Mahanarayan oil, with its soothing base, is known for improving circulation and promoting relaxation of tense muscles. Mahamasha oil, enriched with herbs, is particularly effective for vata-related disorders, often characterized by pain or discomfort.

However, applying these oils twice daily may not be the outomatically, a complete fix. It’s important to consider any underlying causes of your muscle pain. At 72, your pain could be associated with vata imbalances, often leading to dryness and stiffness in the body tissues. Alongside oil application, consider incorporating some gentle lifestyle changes to enhance the treatment’s efficacy.

Firstly, ensure that you maintain warmth in your legs at all times. Cold can aggravate vata, possibly leading to increased pain. Use a hot water bottle or heating pad to apply heat to your legs during the day.

Additionally, try a diet that balances vata. Including warming, nourishing foods like cooked vegetables, whole grains, and legumes might be beneficial. Avoid cold or raw foods, which can exacerbate the imbalance.

Incorporate some variations of yoga or light exercise suitable for your age, such as gentle stretching or walking, these can significantly aid in muscle flexibility and blood circulation.

If mobility is a concern, consider consulting a healthcare professional who ca advise on physiotherapy options. Also, stay hydrated as dehydration can increase muscle stiffness and vata imbalances.

Keep consistent with this regimen for a couple of weeks, and watch for changes. If pain persists or worsens, always consult a healthcare proffessional for further evaluation. While Ayurveda provides effective support, it’s crucial to integrate it with other medical advice easpecially in chronic conditions.
