Ashwagandha Churna: 1 tsp with milk for strength. External Remedies: Massage with Mahanarayan Tailam followed by a warm compress. Lifestyle: Perform gentle Yoga for flexibility, like Bhujangasana and Makarasana.

Having trouble with knee, back, and neck pain can really interfere with your daily routine, I get it. Let's break it down from an Ayurvedic perspective and see what we can do about it. First up, knee pain. It sounds like Vata dosha may be aggravated here. In Ayurveda, vata imbalance often leads to pain and stiffness, especially in the joints. Think warming and soothing. You might wanna try gently massaging your knees with warm sesame oil. Do this especially before bedtime, it can really help calm those vata energies. Give it maybe 10 minutes, use gentle pressure. For your back pain, similar idea — warm your back with an ayurvedic oil. Mahanarayan oil is actually amazing, known for its healing properties. Heat it slightly and give yourself a massage, or have someone else do it if you can. Adding a few gentle stretches, like cat-cow or seated twists, brings in some flexibility. Remember to match those movements with your breath. And neck cricks! Sitting at a desk or looking at your phone, these playes a big role. Pay attention to your posture. Maybe grab a rolled towel behind your neck while working, it maintains natural curvature. Also, try some neck rotations — slow ones, so as not to strain. Your diet too. Warm, moist foods help reduce vata imbalance. Think stews, soups, and avoid dry or cold foods. Sip on ginger tea to help with digestion and warmth — vata dislikes cold drinks. Sleep! Sounds simple, but a consistent sleep routine does wonders for pain relief and grounding vata. Stick to a routine, even on weekends. Keep in mind, if the pain's severe or persists, it’s always wise to check in with a professional for detailed assessment. Oral stuff like these maybe be a bandage, but at times, you need someone poking around to find a root issue. Hope these tips make a dent in your discomfort! Stay patient — healing's a journey.
