I would go with sesame oil… Once the swelling is down from sitting a

while, it would be good if he could get into a walking routine… I know

that's a hard think to do, after working all day, but it will payoff

big time down the road… Noel

If it is a old age problem ,he will be better after taking , loga asava[Lohasav]

with chiyavana prakash[Chyvanprash].

Or he can under go tests for  renal , heart , liver functions ..

Then he coud be prescribed suitale medicines.

I am a 55 yr old woman and I have food swelling problem after the long

plane trip to India. This last year I had the worse ever after 40

hours of continual travel on a bad connection (no surprise it

happened). I did bed rest for about a week. No change. I was

referred to kidney hospital and had tests including two ultrasounds to

rule out a blood clot. All tests normal. More bed rest to no avail.

Finally I went to a local Ayurvedic clinic in a village in Karnataka.

The doctor there was trained in Calicut. His medicines and massage

regimen had me better in four days. He tightly taped my ankles each

day between visits after applying a salve he cooked up. I also had to

take a number of medicines for water balance and kidney support. I

recommend that your dad go the ayurvedic route.

There are various querries regarding feet or leg swellings in past and

this week too. There have been good suggestions and experience reported

also.

 

Author would like to draw attention to a general ayurvedic perspective

on swellings, which lists some of the common medicines used along with

home remedies, posted at:

 

ayurveda/message/3542

 

The poultice mentioned in message#15260 is also discussed with its contents

in above post. Vaidyas in villages know many herbal poultices which give rapid

relief from such problems. One vaidya in a village gave this author a ghrutam

for local application, made especially for bone fractures. Author has seen

amazing results for ftractures in difficult areas where plasters are difficult

to make, e.g. sacral part of spine, shoulder blade area, neck area etc.

 

The swellings described in message15240# and #15260 are due to old age as opined

by Dr Vidyasagar in post#15246. Howver, old age is a disease everyone gets

one day or other. Reduced blood circulation with advancing age, a

problem caused by Vata seems better description. Allopaths call it

congestive heart failure/atherosclerosis, meaning reduced ejection from

heart/circulation reduction due to added resistance from arteries. Liver,

pancreas, kidney slow down as a result and general swelling occurs. hindarm

becomes vers soft, for vaidya to notice.

 

Though swellings have been dealt with in post# 3542 earlier, the

purpose of this post is to mention more appropriate medicines for this

old age swelling in ankle region, as a result of tired heart/reduced

circulation. This

swelling is maximum near ankle, and gradually reduces upwards towards

the knee. The vaidyas measure the swelling magnitude by their own

instant result inexpensive techniques.

 

The medicine course for these swelling streches to 6-8 months though rapid

relief by using local poultice, massage can be obtained in a week itself.

Medicines are taken to rejuivinate liver, kidney pancreas etc.

 

Punarnavasava or punarnava quath, Arjunarishtam,

Chandraprabha Vati or Shilajit Rasayana, Lohasava are some common

formulations to address these swellings. Local

application of Vata reducing medicated oils, light massage

if patient can come to vaidya frequently are the choices,

but vaidya chooses them most appropriate to the patient.

If it is seen that liver also needs some support, a

combination of Aaroyavardhini and Punarnava mandur alone

is adequate, as it affects both liver and kidney.

Punarnava is not just a herb for kidney. It acts on liver too.

 

Swellings in ankle region for menstruating women are

not to be confused with those driven by old age, causing reduced ejection from

heart. These are often traced to reduced hormones, which happens

during pregnancy/peri-menopause, poly-cystic ovaries etc.

In one of his posts, author mentioned men think by head,

women by heart. It is surprising, how women heart slows down

when their hormones reduce.

 

While allopaths will do USG, ECG etc to rule out well

known diseases caused by clotting, DVT, Cancer etc(Post#15260),

Vaidya will decide the root cause by pulse and marma

diganosis. A 15 year old girl used to experience swellings

above jawbone, just a day or two before her Menses start and

it used be gone by the end of cycle. USG ruled out clotting. An allopath then

prescribed

antibiotics to clear UTI suspicion; but patient was not willing

to take. The pulse was indicating weakend apana vata force, diverting to

menstrual cycle, and weakening the urinary system function.

Lemon water thrice a day for one week solved the problem without

any formulation!!

 

Do not self diagnose and better consult a vaidya when diagnosis using symptoms

alone becomes a puzzle.

You can do some simple yoga exercises like shoulderstand and plough

poses. If you cannot do those, just lay on your back close to a wall

and raise your legs straight up against the wall. In other words,

keep the legs elevated above the head as much as possible.

Did the yoga, did the bed rest with pillows, still after two weeks I

had almost no change in the swelling. The ayurveda worked. Two other

tings I should mention: my post travel swelling does go away quickly if

I am in a cold climate (my home is in upstate NY so we are always cool

at least at night even at height of summer) and I have had serious

injuries to both ankles (different injuries at different times) so I

have scar tissue both ankles.

 

Thanks for the concern.

With due respect to all the expert opinions online, may I also suggest to try

very simple spinal yoga exercises that are described at www.atbsnr.com by going

to the links on the technique and patient feedback. It should help you to be as

normal as possible within a very short time. If there is any doublt, please feel

free to email me. Best wishes,
