Dr RC BAMS MS

Hello You‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ concern is quite clear to me. At 78 years, recurrent leg numbness + knee pain while standing is very typical and I am so glad you contacted me. Your doctor has diagnosed peripheral neuropathy and your knee pain is very likely JASU SANDHIGATA VATA (osteoarthritis of the knee) along with Vata aggravation in nerves.

✅AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR CONDITION

👉 Peripheral Neuropathy ( Vata Vyadhi) Your numbness is from: Impaired nerve conduction Destruction and atrophy of nerve pathways Impaired blood supply to the lower limbs Age-related Vata aggravation

👉Knee Pain ( Janu Sandhigata Vata) The symptoms you gave: Pain when getting up Stiffness Difficulty climbing stairs Age-related wear and tear —all correspond to knee osteoarthritis (Janu Sandhigata Vata).

This is caused by: Loss of joint lubrication Degeneration of cartilage Muscles weakening around the joint

✅ WHY ARE BOTH PROBLEMS HAPPENING TOGETHER?

It is because Vata naturally increases after 60 years of age. Vata affects: Nerves - numbness Joints - knee pain Muscles - weakness on standing

So both problems have one root cause: Vata imbalance + degeneration.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

👉Peripheral Neuropathy (Numbness in Legs)

Internal Medicines (very safe):

1. Ashwagandha tablet – 1 tablet twice daily 2. Palsineuron – 1 tablet twice daily 3 MahaVata Vidhvansan Ras– 1 tablet at night after food

These make better: Nerve strength Circulation Tingling, numbness Muscle support

👉External Treatments (most effective)

–Mahanarayan Taila Heat the oil and apply it to: Feet, Calves, Knees and Lower back Massage gently for 10 minutes daily. This helps nerve conduction and joint lubrication to be normal again.

–Warm foot bath (daily) Put feet in warm water + 1 teaspoon rock salt for 10 minutes. This opens the blood vessels and reduces the numbness right away.

✅ For Severe Knee Pain (Janu Sandhigata Vata)

Local therapies (VERY beneficial): ✔️ Janu Basti (if possible at clinic – 7 days) ✔️ Potali massage (Pinda Sweda)

If it is not feasible, doing it at home: 👉 Warm Mahanarayan oil massage to both knees twice daily.

Internal medication 1 Shallaki tablets – 1 twice daily 2 Asthimitra vati – 1 twice daily 3 Dashmool Kwath – 15 ml twice daily These help to get rid of inflammation + stiffness + pain.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION (Very Important)

👉Foods to Eat (Vata-reducing) Warm soups Khichdi with ghee Cooked vegetables Turmeric + black pepper milk Sesame seeds Nuts soaked overnight Moong dal

❌Foods to avoid Cold foods Dry snacks Curd at night Too much tea/coffee Long gaps between meals

Exercise Due to aged: Chair-supported walking Leg lifting while sitting Ankle rotations Quadriceps strengthening exercises Even 10 minutes daily works knee pain quite a lot.

✅ Quick Relief Tips

For Numbness Warm oil massage to the feet before sleeping Keep legs warm (don’t allow cold floors) Sleep with a pillow under the knees

For Knee Pain Hot water bag for 10 minutes Don’t sit on low chairs Don’t sit cross-legged

Your situation is manageable, and with the right Vata-reducing therapies, nerve tonics, and knee joint support, you could get back your strength and numbness and pain would be reduced to a great ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌extent.

HELLO,

You are experiencing two main problems

A) NUMBNESS IN LEGS- PRIPHERAL NEUROPATHY Peripheral neuropathy means that the nerves in your legs are not working at their best. Because of age, diabetes (if present ) , nutritional deficiencies, poor blood circulation, or nerve wear- and- tear, the nerves become weak

Ayurveda calls this vata imbalance, especially “vyana vata” and “prana vata” affecting the nerves. With age, body dryness increase-> nerves lose lubrication-> tingling/ numbness appear

Think of nerves like electric wires -when insulation becomes thin, signals don’t pass correctly-> numbness, burning, tingling, weakness

B) KNEE PAIN WITH DIFFICULTY GETTING UP-OSTEOARTHRITIS Your knee joints have lost joint fluid + cartilage cushioning This causes -pain when standing up -pain climbing stairs -stiffness -grinding sensation -swelling sometimes

This is Sandhivata- vata increases in the joints due to age and causes dryness, degeneration, and friction

TREATMENT GOALS

FOR NEUROPATHY -nourish nerves -improve blood circulation in legs -reduce tingling/numbness -strengthen nerve sheath -calm aggravated vata

FOR KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS -reduce pain and stiffness -lubricates joints -rebuild cartilage strength -slow down further wear-and tear -improve mobility

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night = nerve strength, reduces stress, improves sleep, calms vata

2) BALA ASHWAGANDHA GHRITA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk =lubricates nerves and joints from inside, reduces dryness

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) DAILY OIL MASSAGE= BALA ASHWAGANDHA OIL =improves blood flow, reduces numbness, lubricates joints, reduces stiffness, promotes relaxation Follow with milk heat hot water bag

FOOTWEAR -soft cushioning shoes -avoid walkings barefoot on cold floor

YOGA ASANAS -tadasana -vrikshasana -setu bandhasana -supta pawamuktasana -marjariasana -supported vajrasana for digestion if no knee pain while sitting

Peripheral neuropathy often arises due to Vata dosha imbalance, a key factor in Ayurveda affecting the nervous system and circulation, leading to symptoms like numbness and tingling. To address this, you’ll want to focus on grounding and warming practices. Start with a daily routine using warm sesame oil for a gentle self-massage, known as Abhyanga. This oil has deep-penetrating properties that help nourish the nerves and improve circulation.

Diet plays an equally significant role. Incorporate warm, moist, and easily digestible foods, such as well-cooked grains like rice or quinoa. Avoid excessively cold, dry, and heavy foods that could further aggravate Vata. Spices like ginger, turmeric, and cumin can be used generously as they aid digestion and improve circulation. Drinking warm water throughout the day helps to maintain the equilibrium of bodily fluids and blood flow.

For knee pain, especially with movement, Ayurvedic practices suggest the application of herbs such as ashwagandha or Boswellia (Shallaki), known for their anti-inflammatory benefits. You can look for these in an oil form or even a herbal supplements, but do consult a qualified practitioner before starting any supplementation to ensure it fits your specific needs.

Considering your age and these symptoms, gentle yoga or low-impact exercises can be helpful. Focus on flexibility and strength-building to support joint health. Simple practices like leg raises or seated stretches can gradually improve mobility.

If numbness or pain escalate, or cause major interference with day-to-day activities, please consult healthcare professional for detailed assessment. Ensure any ayurvedic treatment complements rather than replaces essential medical care.

Peripheral neuropathy can be quite challenging, especially with age, and knee pain can compound these difficulties. From the Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, we would first consider vata imbalances, as they often manifest in the nervous system and joints, especially as one ages. The key aim is to pacify vata while supporting the overall joint health.

Start by incorporating warm oil massages into your routine, as they can help nourish and soothe the nerves and joints. Use sesame oil, warmed gently before applying it over your legs and knees. Massage in a circular motion around the joints and long strokes along the muscles. It can be done once a day, ideally in the morning before showering.

Diet plays a crucial role, so focus on warm, nourishing foods that help pacify vata. Cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and quinoa, and warming spices like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper are beneficial. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods, as they can aggravate vata.

For knee pain, consider Dashamoola Kwath or Rasnadi Guggulu, two formulations that target joint discomfort and support mobility. Follow dose instructions on the packaging, but usually twice a day after meals is sufficient.

Regular, gentle exercise is important. Practices like Tai Chi or Yoga can enhance flexibility and balance without overstraining the joints. If these pains worsen, or if numbness persists, please work closely with your healthcare provider to rule out any serious underlying conditions.
