Can I use Ayurvedic treatments for knee swelling and inflammation in a diabetic patient aged 55-60 years? - #54577

Reduced gab between knee joints might be due overweight, increased pressure on knees and reduced lubrication. Daily apply Dhanwantaram Taila to knees and expose to sun for 20 mins, preferably early morning and later hot water. Along with that medicine like 1. Cap. Dhanwantaram 101 (1-1-1 before food) 2. Chandraprabha vati (1-1-1 after food) 3. Rasnasaptak Kashaya (1-1-1) after food 4. Varunadi Kwath (10ml -0- 10ml after food with water) 5. Dhanwataram Taila for knee application For 15 days, follow up after 15 days

This condition is due to Vata-Kapha imbalance with Ama, causing swelling, stiffness, and pain in the knee. In Diabetes Mellitus, healing is slower and symptoms like numbness or tingling can also be present. 🌿 Treatment Approach The aim is to reduce inflammation and Ama first. In this stage, oil application is avoided, and lepa (herbal paste) is used. Once swelling reduces, oil therapy can be added for stiffness. 💊 Medicines Mahayograj Guggulu – 1 tablets twice daily after meals Nishamalaki Churna – 1 teaspoon twice daily before meals Dashmool Kwath – 15 ml with equal warm water, twice daily before meals Shallaki – 1 capsule twice daily Palsineuron – 1 tablet once daily after meals (for nerve support) 🌿 Lepa Rasnadi Lepam apply locally (rasnadi churna mixed with lukewarm water) Keep for 20–30 minutes only, then wash 🏃 Lifestyle Avoid long sitting, start gentle walking, and do mild knee movements daily without strain. 🍽 Diet Take warm, light food. Avoid curd, cold, fried, and heavy items. Include ginger, turmeric, and simple meals. ⚠️ Advice Maintain good sugar control. Once swelling reduces, oil massage (Mahanarayan Tailam) can be started for stiffness. This is the medicine for the first phase. Thankyou Dr Shubhi
