Hello Ma’am , Post-viral arthritis can be managed with Ayurvedic remedies and gentle exercises. Try anti-inflammatory turmeric and dry ginger tea (add a pinch of both to a cup of hot water, have twice in the day) consume raw garlic or soaked fenugreek seeds for joint relief, and massage affected joints with warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil. Gentle stretching, range of motion exercises, and short walks can maintain flexibility. Ayurvedic herbs like, Cap Shallaki (Boswellia), and Mahayogaraj Guggul are effective for reducing inflammation and pain but needs doctors guidance. Additionally, therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Panchakarma detox can support long-term relief. Favor a warm, anti-inflammatory diet with spices and avoid cold, raw foods to balance Vata. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for more personalized care.

Post-viral joint pain and the early signs of arthritis are often linked to aggravated Vata and Ama (toxins) in Ayurveda, which can accumulate in the joints and lead to stiffness and pain. To help reverse early arthritis and manage joint health, consider starting with Ashwagandha and Shallaki (Boswellia serrata), both known for their anti-inflammatory and joint-supportive properties. Another effective Ayurvedic formulation is Mahayograj Guggulu, which helps reduce pain and strengthen the joints; however, this should be taken under guidance.

At home, incorporating warm turmeric milk with a pinch of black pepper before bedtime can be beneficial for inflammation and immunity. Adding ginger and garlic to meals may also help reduce pain, as they support circulation and reduce Ama in the body. Daily Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil can improve joint flexibility and relieve stiffness, especially before a warm bath.

For exercises, gentle yoga poses like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose), and seated stretches can support flexibility and strengthen the joints without strain. Regular, low-impact activities like walking or swimming are also beneficial. Could you share more about your diet and daily routine to help customize your treatment?
