Say Goodbye To Knee Pain With Ayurveda

Knee pain can be one of the most difficult health problems to live with. It impacts a person's mobility as well as their ability to do daily tasks. We generally associate knee pain with advanced age, but it can strike at any time. Even very active people and athletes have the risk of suffering from knee pain at some point in their lives. Other health issues that affect the bones and joints can also manifest as severe knee pain. Ayurveda looks at all health issues in a holistic manner. No particular problem is dealt with in isolation. Knee pain treatment in Ayurveda treats the problem with natural medication that eases the pain and improves the person’s overall health. 

When a person is in good health and has a strong immune system, knee issues can be the result of overuse or injury. In most cases, however, it is the result of poor lifestyle choices and less than optimum health over a long period of time. Obesity also strains all the joints in the body and when the knee is weak it causes severe knee pain.

To understand the approach of Ayurvedic medicine for knee pain one must understand Ama. Digestion is the central vital function to keep the body in good health. The metabolism is what synthesizes our food intake into the nutrition that sustains the body tissues. When digestion is faulty this process is not efficient and metabolic waste is produced. Ayurveda calls this waste Ama. It is highly toxic and when it penetrates tissues, is the root cause of all health issues. When Ama is produced over a period of time it transforms into Amavisha which is an even more dangerous form of the toxin. Ayurvedic medicine also defines three Doshas that govern bodily functions. These are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Doshas. When these Doshas are in balance the body functions in a healthy manner. When they are out of balance they trigger health issues. 

There are two types of joint problems. One is caused by the Vata Dosha aggravation and the other by inflammation. They can also be interlinked. The Vata Dosha problems are called Vata Vyadhi. They cause dryness in the body that afflicts the Vyana Vata. This is the sub-Dosha of the Vata Dosha that governs the nourishment of the joint. When the joint is malnourished and devoid of the necessary lubrication, it results in joint issues. Ayurvedic medicine for knee pain caused by Vata problems can be taken internally and applied externally. Ayurvedic medicine for osteoarthritis balances the vitiated Vata Dosha and nourishes the joints. 

When the Ama in the body afflicts the joints it causes inflammation. Injuries also result in inflammation in the knee. Ayurvedic medicine for joint pain in India for such knee pain is used both internally and externally. It is rich in herbs that detoxify and relieve Ama. The patient is also counseled on a proper lifestyle to avoid Ama formation. Internal medication, as well as topical Ayurvedic oil for joint pain, has strong anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-swelling, and Ama relieving properties. Knee pain treatment in Ayurveda can be supplemented with Panchkarma treatment and gentle Yoga exercises to strengthen and restore mobility to the joint.
