Hello Mallikarjuna ji, Thanks for reaching out about your concerns. I get why seeing those bumps on your hands, legs, and belly for months would be worrying. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
First off, it’s super important to know that real lymph nodes usually aren’t visible on your skin like that. What you’re seeing is more likely:
–Prominent veins or tiny blood vessels especially if you’re thin. –Small, fatty lumps (lipomas), what we call Granthi or Meda granthi. –Build-up of Kapha and Ama (stuff your body isn’t processing well) under the skin. – Rarely, slow moving lymph.
Here’s the good news: no pain, no fever, no weight loss, no night sweats, and it’s been over six months without getting worse.
👉This strongly suggests it’s not anything serious, but rather your body being a bit out of balance.
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
1.Kapha + Ama issues: This causes that visible swelling or bumps under the skin and means your lymph isn’t moving smoothly.
2. Rasa–Rakta Srotodushti: Basically, your skin and blood vessels aren’t getting the right nourishment, making things more noticeable.
3.Mandagni (Weak Digestion): Even if you feel hungry, your food might not be getting fully digested.
ABOUT THAT MINT – CORIANDER – CURRY LEAF JUICE
It’s okay to drink for a bit, but it won’t fix everything. It can help a little with detox, cooling your body, and digestion.
But drinking it 2-3 times a day isn’t needed and might even make you feel weaker. If you do drink it, stick to once a day in the morning for 7-10 days, not long-term.
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
INTERNAL MEDICATION
1. Kanchanar Guggulu: Take 2 tablets twice a day after meals. This is great for lymph and gland issues and helps shrink those bumps.
2. Gandhak Rasayan: Take 1 tablet twice a day after food. It cleans your blood and helps your skin and lymph.
3. Triphala Churna Have ½ teaspoon at night with warm water. It clears out toxins and helps your lymph drain better.
DIET PLAN
✅INCLUDE Warm, fresh food. Think lentils, rice, veggies with turmeric and cumin. Sip warm water throughout the day.
❌AVOID Cold drinks, too much yogurt, fried food, baked goods, packaged or junk food, and avoid late-night eating.
LIFESTYLE
–Dry massage (Udvartana): Use gram flour or Triphala powder before your bath, 3-4 times a week. –Gentle exercise: A walk or some yoga. –Avoid sleeping during the day. –Eat your meals at regular times.
Your situation doesn’t seem dangerous. It’s something Ayurveda can definitely help with, and sorting it out now will stop any bigger issues later.
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Hlo,
Visible lymph nodes all over the body (hands, legs, stomach) that are not painful and have been present for more than 6 months is unusual. While home remedies like herbal juices (mint, coriander, curry leaves) are generally safe, they cannot treat underlying causes of lymph node enlargement.
Persistent lymph node enlargement can be due to: - Chronic infections - Immune system disorders - Rarely, blood cancers or lymphoma
Since you have multiple visible lymph nodes for over 6 months, the first and most important step is to get a proper medical evaluation: - Blood tests: CBC, ESR, CRP, liver and kidney function - Ultrasound or CT scan of affected areas - Possible biopsy if nodes are very large or suspicious This is not something that can be safely “cured” with only herbal juices. Early diagnosis is crucial if there is a serious underlying cause.
Ayurvedic Support (Complementary, Not a Cure) - Ayurveda focuses on improving immunity and supporting detoxification. Here’s a general approach:
- Herbal Juice (as advised): Mint, coriander, curry leaves juice Dose: 30–50 ml, once or twice a day, fresh in the morning and evening. Helps digestion and mild detoxification, but won’t reduce lymph nodes caused by infection or cancer.
- Triphala Churna (supports digestion and immunity) Dose: 1 teaspoon with warm water before bedtime
- Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) Dose: 500 mg tablet once or twice daily or decoction (10–20 ml) Helps improve immunity
Dietary recommendations: - Light, easy-to-digest foods - Avoid processed foods, excessive sugar, and deep-fried foods - Include leafy greens, fresh fruits, nuts, and whole grains
Lifestyle: Gentle exercise or yoga Adequate sleep and stress management
⚠️ Important: Ayurvedic remedies can support your body but cannot replace proper medical evaluation. Since your lymph nodes are multiple and visible for over 6 months, please consult a doctor or hematologist urgently for blood tests and imaging. Early detection is critical if this is something serious.

WHEN SUCH SWELLINGS ARE VISIBLE FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS AND THERE IS NO PAIN FEVER WEIGHT LOSS OR WEAKNESS IT USUALLY INDICATES A CHRONIC LYMPHATIC OR IMMUNE IMBALANCE RATHER THAN AN ACUTE SERIOUS DISEASE HOWEVER IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FIRST CONFIRM WHETHER THESE ARE TRUE LYMPH NODES OR PROMINENT VEINS FAT NODULES OR SKIN RELATED SWELLINGS AS TRUE LYMPH NODES ARE COMMONLY FOUND IN NECK ARMPITS GROIN AND SOMETIMES ABDOMEN BUT NOT USUALLY ALL OVER LIMBS
I STRONGLY ADVISE BASIC INVESTIGATIONS LIKE COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT ESR CRP AND ULTRASOUND OF THE AFFECTED AREAS TO RULE OUT HIDDEN INFECTION INFLAMMATION OR OTHER CAUSES
THE MINT CORIANDER AND CURRY LEAF JUICE IS NOT HARMFUL BUT IT IS NOT A COMPLETE SOLUTION AND TAKING IT MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY MAY DISTURB DIGESTION
FROM AN AYURVEDIC VIEW THIS CONDITION IS OFTEN RELATED TO POOR LYMPH CIRCULATION DIGESTIVE WEAKNESS AND LONG STANDING TOXIN ACCUMULATION SO THE TREATMENT FOCUSES ON PURIFYING BLOOD AND SUPPORTING IMMUNITY
MANJISTHA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY WITH WARM WATER AFTER FOOD
GANDHAK RASAYAN ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD
TRIPHALA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER
DO NOT PRESS OR MASSAGE THE SWELLINGS
IF ANY SWELLING INCREASES RAPIDLY BECOMES HARD OR PAINFUL OR IF FEVER WEIGHT LOSS OR NIGHT SWEATS DEVELOP THEN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL EVALUATION IS NECESSARY
WITH PROPER EVALUATION AND REGULAR TREATMENT THIS CONDITION CAN IMPROVE GRADUALLY AND NEED NOT CAUSE FEAR
Mallikarjuna ,thank you for explaining your concern clearly
Lymph nodes becoming visible on hands legs and abdomen for more than six months even without pain should not be ignored but it also does not automatically mean something serious especially when there are no other symptoms like fever weight loss night sweats or weakness.Lymph nodes enlarge when the immune system is reacting for a long time and this can happen due to chronic low grade infection past infections skin issues gut related inflammation dental problems allergies or long standing immune imbalance.When nodes are painless mobile and stable in size they are often reactive in nature but because they are present in multiple areas and visible on the skin it is important to evaluate properly rather than trying home remedies alone
Mint coriander and curry leaf juice is generally safe and can support digestion and detox but it is not a treatment for enlarged lymph nodes and taking it two to three times daily for long periods is not necessary. Overdoing raw juices can sometimes disturb digestion which itself can worsen lymphatic congestion,So you can stop relying on that as a cure
From an Ayurvedic perspective this is usually linked to impaired digestion sluggish lymph circulation and accumulation of metabolic waste leading to glandular swelling. Treatment focuses on correcting digestion improving circulation and gently supporting the immune system
Before starting any treatment get basic investigations done if not already done such as complete blood count ESR CRP and an ultrasound of the enlarged node , to rule out causes that require specific care and it gives clarity and peace of mind
Include a freshly cooked light meals ,avoid packaged fried and very oily food reducing sugar and cold items ensuring regular bowel movements adequate sleep and avoid repeated touching or pressing of the nodes
