In Ayurveda, your bursitis is seen as a Vata imbalance causing pain and inflammation in the joints. The medicine given (lepas) is meant to reduce Vata, improve circulation, and ease pain naturally. Along with this, therapies like oil massage, gentle exercises, and avoiding cold exposure can help in healing. —Rx: 1) Tab Rumalaya Forte (Aimil Pharmaceuticals) – 2 tablets BD after meals 2) Cap Shallaki – 1 capsule BD after meals 3) Painmukti Oil – Local application, gentle massage 2–3 times daily Lukewarm water for intake -----Advice: Avoid cold exposure, वात-increasing foods Gentle joint movement (no strain) Hot fomentation (swedana) if stiffness present —Follow-up: 10–15 days
