Osteoarthritis knee Treatment/Knee pain treatment in ayurveda

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a group of disease. Commonly, this group represents inflammation, pain, stiffness and tenderness of joints. There are many types of Arthritis such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Gout etc. Here, we will focus on Osteoarthritis.

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease. The major victims are elderly and obese people. In our joints, there is a protective cover of cartilage at the end of the bones. It reduces the friction of the joint and provides lubrication to stay up to the mark. In Osteoarthritis, this cartilage becomes damaged. It increases the friction between the joints. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint but Knee joint pain is the common most.

Osteoarthritis and Ayurveda

As per Ayurveda, Osteoarthritis can be correlated with the disease ‘Sandhivata’. In Sandhivata, the vitiatied/abnormal vaayu dosha locates the joints and deteriorates it.

Knee Pain Treatment in Ayurveda

Osteoarthritis Treatment

If we look at modern medicines, there are not many options available as far as osteoarthritis treatment is concerned. Your orthopedic doctor may give you pain killers to relieve pain, some supplements, and physiotherapy for betterment. At last, he will suggest the surgery (Knee replacement surgery or TKR)

On the other side, Ayurvedic treatment for knee pain and osteoarthritis has been very effective. Before knee replacement surgery (TKR), one should definitely experience Ayurveda treatment for knee joint pain. If the Ayurveda treatment is properly applied, it might get one out of surgery and provide permanent cure from knee pain and osteoarthritis.

Ayurveda believes in the principle of ‘Dhatus’. Dhatus are one which supports the body and are responsible for maintenance and longevity. The cartilages which are damaged in osteoarthritis are one of such ‘Dhatus’ in the body. In Ayurveda, any decreased Dhatu can be increased through proper diet, lifestyle and Ayurveda medicines. Thus, osteoarthritis and knee pain can be permanently cured through correct Ayurvedic treatment.

Ayurvedic diet & lifestyle for knee pain and Osteoarthritis:

  • Avoid sour and fermented food articles
  • Avoid heavy to digest food such as refined flour
  • Eat fresh meals, in less quantity.
  • Cow ghee, green grams and black grams are good to take ( in appropriate qty)
  • Exercise regularly
  • Accidently twisting or turning the joints might be harmful
  • Do regular Pranayams like Anuloma-Viloma and Omkara
  • Apply hot & cold fomentation for pain relief

There are number of Ayurvedic medicines which help in Osteoarthritis. As Ayurveda has its own customized approach, the choice of medicines depends upon one’s body constitution and overall strength. It is advisable to consult expert Ayurvedic doctors for knee pain and osteoarthritis for better results.
