Throughout their lifetime, humans experience a wide range of physical and emotional pain. Among these, joint pains are particularly prevalent. The knee joint, one of the largest in the body, bears our weight and facilitates movement through the connection of bones, muscles, and ligaments.
The knee joint contains a crescent-shaped cartilage tissue called menisci, which acts as a cushion between the bones and absorbs shock during movement. As a crucial joint, any disease or injury affecting the knee or surrounding areas can cause pain. Ayurvedic treatment for joint pain in Kerala begins with understanding the root cause of the condition. Knee pain ayurvedic treatment in Kerala is conducted as a step-by-step procedure after an ayurvedic practitioner assesses the condition.
The initial step focuses on reducing inflammation in the joints, achieved through anti-inflammatory external therapies like lepanam or Podikizhi, along with internal herbal medications with proven anti-inflammatory properties.

Ayurvedic treatment for joint pain after chikungunya combines preventive measures with treatment for the joints.
Similarly, knee pain is common among people over 50, which can worsen over time. However, contracting knee pain with age is not inevitable. By understanding how to avoid knee pain in old age, we can prevent it. Through practicing a holistic lifestyle, one can prevent the body from becoming susceptible to health issues that can very well be prevented. By including exercises like walking, yoga or whatever is feasible for our body, we are giving ourselves the chance to build muscles and prevent the body from getting injured.

Knee pain may result from osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, overuse, excess body weight, or inflammatory conditions. In Ayurveda, joint pain is often linked to imbalances in Vata and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the joints, leading to stiffness and discomfort.
Ayurvedic therapies aim to manage chronic discomfort by improving circulation, reducing stiffness, and enhancing flexibility. While they may not reverse structural damage, many individuals find them helpful in supporting mobility and quality of life when practiced consistently under expert guidance.
