For managing leg swelling and severe leg pain, especially with a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) factor of 14.20, an Ayurvedic approach can be beneficial in addressing the underlying inflammation and improving circulation. Start by incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into your diet, such as turmeric, ginger, and garlic, which can help reduce swelling and pain. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, such as berries, leafy greens, and cruciferous vegetables, as they can support overall joint health.

Stay well-hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water, and consider herbal teas made from Tulsi or Ginger to promote circulation and alleviate discomfort. Incorporating Triphala can aid digestion and support detoxification, which may help reduce swelling. Additionally, Ashwagandha can be beneficial for its adaptogenic properties, helping to manage stress and inflammation in the body.

Practicing gentle yoga and stretching exercises can improve blood flow and reduce stiffness. Focus on poses that promote flexibility in the legs, such as Vrikshasana (Tree Pose) and Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose). Applying warm compresses or using Mahanarayan oil for gentle massage can also help relieve pain and improve circulation.

It's essential to listen to your body and avoid overexertion.
