For managing diabetes-related neuropathy and knee pain, Ayurveda focuses on balancing blood sugar, nourishing nerves, and reducing inflammation in joints. To ease burning sensation in her legs, Ayurvedic oils like Mahanarayan oil or Dhanwantharam oil can be warmed and gently massaged on the legs daily, followed by a warm compress. Dietary adjustments, including more fiber-rich foods and less sugar or processed foods, are essential, and gentle exercise or yoga can help keep her active within comfort limits. Tab Chandrakala is ideal in reducing burning associated with diabetic neuropathy. Regular follow-up with an Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended for personalized treatment adjustments.

For your mother’s diabetic neuropathy and knee pain, Ayurveda focuses on managing blood sugar levels, reducing inflammation, and easing nerve pain to improve her mobility and comfort. Diabetic neuropathy often arises due to aggravated Vata and Pitta doshas, which can cause burning sensations, pain, and weakness. Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry) and Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) are helpful for diabetes management and support nerve health. Vasant Kusumakar Ras, taken under the guidance of an Ayurvedic doctor, can further aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels and supporting nerve function.
For knee pain, Shallaki (Boswellia serrata) and Guggulu are highly effective in reducing joint inflammation and pain. Applying Mahanarayan oil or Dhanvantaram oil to her knees and legs can help improve circulation and ease nerve discomfort. A gentle, daily oil massage followed by a warm towel wrap may help alleviate the burning sensation and stiffness.
Panchakarma therapies, such as Virechana (therapeutic purgation) for cleansing, Vasti (medicated enema) to balance Vata, and Abhyanga (oil massage) are beneficial for overall rejuvenation, especially if she has trouble walking. Additionally, Dashmoola kwatha (decoction) or Eranda (castor root) decoctions may help with inflammation and pain relief.
Encourage her to follow a Vata-pacifying diet that includes warm, nourishing foods like cooked vegetables, whole grains, and gentle spices like ginger and cinnamon, which are also beneficial for blood sugar. Avoid cold, dry foods, and excess caffeine or sugar, as these can aggravate her symptoms.
Finally, mild exercises, like gentle leg stretches, under supervision, can improve circulation, and daily practices like Pranayama (breathing exercises) help calm nerves.
