worsening knee OA pain indicates “Sandhivata (Vata aggravation in joints) with Aam accumulation”. Your current medicines are good, but pain increase suggests weak Agni + Aam blocking the joints, so correction is needed. First remove Aam (very important): Add Simhanad Guggulu or Aamvatari Ras Continue: Mahayograj Guggulu (better than Laxadi in OA pain phase) For pain & lubrication: Dashmool Kwath or Rasnadi Kwath Bone support (continue later phase): Laxadi Guggulu after pain reduces External Therapy: Daily warm oil massage with Mahanarayan oil Follow with mild steam (swedana) → reduces stiffness quickly Diet (crucial): Avoid curd, cold food, fried items, heavy pulses Take warm, light food + ghee Add dry ginger, ajwain, garlic for digestion Lifestyle: Avoid long sitting (your trigger) Do gentle knee movements + short walks Keep joints warm
