Hello Dealing with a ganglion cyst on your wrist can be a real pain, especially when it hurts and gets in the way of everyday things like writing or using your phone. Since you’ve had it for about 1–3 months and it’s causing you some pain, now is a great time to try some natural treatments instead of jumping into surgery. YOUR CONCERN – Ganglion cyst on wrist – Hurts sometimes – Been there for a few months – Haven’t tried any treatments yet WHAT AYURVEDA SAYS In Ayurveda, a ganglion cyst is known as Granthi. It usually pops up because of: – Too much Kapha dosha → causes swelling with fluid – Vata messing things up → leads to pain and stiffness – Blocked joint channels (Sandhi srotas) So, here’s what we gotta do: – Cut down on Kapha – Get that fluid moving – Chill out Vata – Get the circulation going in your wrist SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES THAT WORK Hot Turmeric–Salt Compress This one’s really good. – Heat up some water – Mix in 1 tsp of turmeric + 1 tsp of rock salt – Dip a cloth in, wring it out, and put it on the spot while it’s warm – Do this for 15 minutes, twice a day It helps to: – Bring down the swelling – Ease the pain – Soak up the fluid Castor Oil Massage –Warm up some castor oil and put it on the cyst and your wrist – Rub it in gently for about 10 minutes – Do this morning and night It can: – Break up the fluid in the cyst – Help with lymph flow – Soften the lump Epsom Salt Soak Once a day, soak your wrist in warm water with Epsom salt for 15 minutes. It helps to: – Pull out extra fluid – Calm down irritation Take it Easy on Your Wrist – Don’t pick up super heavy stuff – Skip wearing tight watches – Try not to bend your wrist over and over HERBAL THING (optional, but good) Mix: –Turmeric –Ginger A few drops of castor oil Make a thick paste, put it on the cyst, cover it with a cloth, and leave it for 1–2 hours each day. WHEN WILL IT START TO GET BETTER? – Pain should ease up in about 7–10 days – Swelling should get softer in 2–3 weeks –0 The size should shrink in 4–6 weeks If you catch it early, often the cyst will totally go away with these methods. You caught your cyst at a good time. With these easy Ayurvedic home things, most ganglion cysts can disappear without needing surgery Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

1 Warm Compress – Soak clean cloth in warm water , apply on cyst 15–20 min, 3–4 times daily 2 Rest & Immobilization – Avoid heavy wrist use. Use wrist brace/splint during day (especially if pain on movement) – reduces irritation & may help cyst shrink. 3 Epsom Salt Soak – Mix 2 tbsp Epsom salt in warm water , soak wrist 15 min daily 4 Gentle Massage – After warm compress, very light circular massage around (not on) cyst 2–3 min daily (improves fluid drainage – do NOT press hard). 5 Turmeric Paste – Mix ½ tsp turmeric + honey , apply on cyst 20 min daily and rinse What to Avoid Do NOT hit/slam cyst with book (old myth) – risks fracture or infection. No forceful squeezing/popping – can cause infection or recurrence. Avoid repetitive wrist strain (typing, lifting). Most ganglion cysts are harmless & self-resolve with time & conservative care. Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma
