Osteoarthritis Treatment - Sandhigata Vata in Ayurveda
In this video, Karin creates the paste for a lepana treatment for one of our clients who suffers with osteoarthritis symptoms.
Lepana treatment can be used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, increase relaxation, stimulate circulation and support joint health in individuals with osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition that involves the breakdown of cartilage and can cause pain, inflammation, and reduced joint mobility. From an Ayurvedic perspective, vitiated Vata gets lodged at one or more Sandhi (place where two bones meet) and produces pain in the joint, swelling, crepitus and stiffness in the joint. When these symptoms appear in Janu (knee) it called as Janu- sandhigata Vata.
A specialized herbal paste is prepared using Ayurvedic herbs that have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and joint-nourishing properties. Commonly used herbs might include Ashwagandha, Shallaki (Boswellia), Guggulu, Turmeric, and others. The herbs are mixed with water, herbal decoctions, or oils to create a paste with the desired consistency.
If there is swelling and inflammation in the joint, a rukshana (drying) treatment should be performed prior to oil application. This will help pull the Ama, toxins, from the area. This video explains the herbs used in the Lepana treatment specifically for osteoarthritis.
This treatment is great to combine with an Abhyanga oil massage.
