Prishnaparni - #5239
I’m curious if prishnaparni can really help with the kind of joint pain I’ve been experiencing. For context, I’m 42 and not particularly active, but I do try to walk daily. Lately, I’ve been waking up with stiff joints, especially in my knees. By evening, the stiffness turns into dull aches, and it’s frustrating because it slows me down. Someone recommended prishnaparni to me, saying it’s used in Ayurveda for joint and muscle relief. I’ve heard prishnaparni is good for vata imbalance (which I might have, given the symptoms), but I don’t really know how to use it. Is prishnaparni better as a decoction, an oil, or something else? Do I need to take it regularly, and are there any side effects if I use it for too long? Also, does prishnaparni work alone, or do I need to combine it with other herbs? I’ve seen it mentioned in some Ayurvedic texts with other plants like bala, but I don’t understand if they complement each other or have different purposes.
