Anti Inflammatory Ayurvedic Medicine - #7458

I’ve been dealing with chronic inflammation, especially in my joints and muscles, which causes pain and stiffness that disrupt my daily activities. While I’ve tried over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, they come with side effects like stomach upset and fatigue. I recently began researching natural remedies and discovered the potential benefits of anti-inflammatory Ayurvedic medicine. I’m curious about the options available and how effective they are compared to conventional treatments. From what I understand, Ayurveda offers a range of herbs and formulations like guggulu, ashwagandha, and turmeric for reducing inflammation. Are these herbs suitable for chronic conditions like arthritis, tendonitis, or even autoimmune issues like lupus? How do they work at the root level to reduce inflammation and pain without causing side effects? I’ve also come across specific Ayurvedic formulations like yogaraj guggulu and shallaki (Boswellia). Are these more effective when taken in combination, or should they be used individually based on specific conditions? Additionally, is it safe to use these herbs long-term, and are there any known contraindications or interactions with modern medications? Another aspect I’d like to understand is whether Ayurveda recommends dietary or lifestyle changes for managing inflammation. Should I avoid certain foods like processed sugar or fried items, which may aggravate inflammation? Are there specific diets or routines, such as intermittent fasting or yoga, that can complement the use of anti-inflammatory Ayurvedic medicines? If anyone here has managed inflammation with Ayurvedic remedies, I’d love to hear about your experience. How long did it take to see improvement, and did you combine herbal medicines with therapies like panchakarma or abhyanga? Are there any particular remedies or approaches you would recommend?
