Knee Ailments

Knee Ailments -දනිස් අමාරුව

Knee ailments are among the most common joint problems, often caused by aging, injuries, excess body weight, or long-term strain. These conditions can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty in walking or bending the knees. If left untreated, they may gradually worsen, affecting overall mobility and quality of life.

In Ayurveda, knee ailments are often linked to Sandhivata — a disorder caused by an imbalance of the Vata dosha and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) within the joints. This imbalance leads to the degeneration of joint tissues, causing inflammation and reduced flexibility.

Dr. Padmasiri Udugama’s Ayurvedic treatments for knee problems focus on reducing inflammation, strengthening the joints, and improving movement. Through therapies such as Janu Basti (application of warm medicated oil over the knee), herbal medicines, and therapeutic massages, the treatment aims to restore lubrication, relieve pain, and rejuvenate the knee joints naturally.

These holistic therapies not only help manage pain but also promote long-term joint health and prevent further deterioration.
