AsthiJivak - Ayurvedic Treatment for Knee Pain

ASTHIJIVAK oil & paste is a ayurvedic treatment for different types muscular and joint pains, specifically for Knee pain. Joint pains, especially knee pain, are a result of constant act of gravity pulling your weight and wear and tear due to activity. Both these factors are unavoidable, so is knee pain at some point in your life. However, keeping it in control or not let it become debilitating is something which can be worked upon.

The basic knee structure consists of two lower bones, tibia and fibula, and an upper bone, femur, meeting at the knee joint forming a joint space. This joint space is padded by a cartilaginous surface and some viscous fluid to allow movement and lubrication. There are ligaments holding the joint together as well as muscles allowing the movement. Now the problem starts when after years of carrying your body weight the cartilaginous surfaces wears out and bone gets on bone without any padding to absorb the impact. Further with time, the degeneration occurs on the surface leading to osteophytes or bony spurs growing up. These are small bony growth on the knee joint surface, hindering movement and resultant discomfort and pain.
