Joint pain and Nabhi Puran
When the Vata dosha is extremely imbalanced in the gut, it produces symptoms like bloating, constipation, liver disorders, hemorrhoids etc. This aggravated Vata dosha in the intestines may also cause low backache, hip pain and knee pain.
For this condition,
nabhi puran can be useful, along with Virechana, Basti Panchakarma and oral Ayurvedic medicines with asafoetida, cumin, black cumin, Vacha, ajwain, dill seeds, rock salt, fennel, etc.
But if the joint pain is caused due to osteoarthritis, injury, gout etc., there Nabhi Puran might not be useful. There, Panchakarma, local therapies such as kati basti, janu basti, pichu, and oral medicines to counter vata dosha and reduce inflammation such as Yograj Guggul,
Mahayograj guggul etc. are more useful.
The principle behind this is, the therapies should be concentrated on
a. Root of origin of disease
b. Place where maximum symptoms of the diseases are seen.
