Is there any treatment in Ayurveda for chondromalacia patella?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. In chondromalacia patella, the cartilage below the knee bone starts deteriorating and it softens. It usually has four grades from grades 1 to 4. Grade 1 and 2 usually get relieved with rest and anti-inflammatories. Your doctor will rule out your grade with the physical examination. In chondromalacia patella, taking rest is very important. You can also use ice packs too for swelling and pain. Ice packs will provide relief to you. Stabilize your knee because the movement can worsen the condition. For this, you can use a knee brace. Do exercises that will strengthen your muscles. Because muscle strength will help you to avoid knee malalignment. For exercises, you can consult a nearby physiotherapist and learn the exercises and do it on your own. You can also go to a nearby panchakarma center and ask the physician for a panchakarma procedure named Jaanu Basti. This procedure is very helpful in painful knee conditions.

Take Mahanarayan oil (Aswagandha, Bilva, Gokhuru) and apply it gently on your knee and do a gentle massage twice daily. This will help to relieve the pain. In medication, you can take Kaishore Guggul (Gokshuru, Amruta, Guduchi, Tryushana) two tablets twice daily with lukewarm water for three to four weeks. Do not swallow the tablets, chew the tablets and then take lukewarm water. Start taking one tablespoon of Haldi powder (turmeric) with milk at night as turmeric powder will help in relieving inflammation. Local application of ginger poultice is also helpful for your condition. You can also take the tablet Dolid (Dr.Vashisht) ( Jatiphal ext, Godanti bhasma, Vatsanabh) which is an ayurvedic pain killer. You can take one to two tablets twice daily and you can use them one week in continuity. You can take all these with your current medication. Try all these regularly and you will soon find positive results. In case, if the condition does not rectify and you find it worsening then do consult a nearby orthopedic surgeon and ask for arthroscopic surgery if needed.

I hope this helps.
