Since a knee replacement has been suggested, the focus is is to reduce inflammation, nourish the synovial fluid, and strengthen the bone and soft tissues to potentially delay or manage conditions 1) Maharasnadi Kadha- 15ml 45ml lukewarm water 30 min before breakfast and dinner 2) Yogaraja Guggulu - 2 Tablets- with kadha 3)Balarishta- 20ml+20ml water-immediately after lunch and dinner 4) Mahanarayana Thailam - apply warm leave for 40 min before bath 5) Gandha Tallam- 5-10 Drops with warm milk at bedtime Foods to Include Healthy Fats: Ghee Sesame oll, and Olive oil to lubricate the joints Internally. Spices: Turmeric, Ginger, Garlic, and Fenugreek (Methi) seeds soaked overnight. Grains: Red rice (Rakta Shali), Wheat, and Oats. Calcium Rich: Milk boiled with a pinch of turmeric and saffron Foods to Avold Vata-Aggravating Foods: Cold, dry, and stale food. Avoid sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower as they increase “gas” (Vata). Excessive refined sugar and salt, which can increase inflammation and water retention. Sour/Fermented: Very sour curd, pickles, and fermented foods like Idli/Dosa in excess. Cold Drinks: Ice-cold water or carbonated drinks You can also go to nearest ayurveda centra for JANU basti it help in deeply nourish the joints
