weightlifting joint inhuries often involve structural damage (meniscus, labrum) that herbs cannot repair. medical imaging before starting any joint protocol is essential. tbh

The shoulder clicking that starts in your mid-30s is so familiar. Mine began during overhead press and I ignored it for almost a year before it became a catch with actual pain. Curious whether the article’s Sandhivata protocol covers shoulder joints specifically or is primarily focused on knees and hips.

@Naveen the cooling diet recommendation for Pitta-type joint inflammation does this apply during a caloric surplus (bulking phase)?

The section on collagen synthesis timing during pitta kala was new to me; I’ll try taking gelatin with vitamin C before my morning lifts.

no mention of eccentric loading rehabilitation which is the evidence-baaed standard for tendinopathy. the article treats all joint pain as the same.

In reply to Anjali Anderson. You're right that the article lumps a lot together. Tendinopathy and cartilage wear are pretty different problems even if they both show up as joint pain under load. I'd be curious whether the Ayurvedic classification actually separates tendon versus bone versus synovial involvement or whether Sandhivata is treated as one category regardless.

The Sandhivata framing is new to me. I’ve been lifting for about eight years and always treated joint aches as just part of the deal. Does the protocol in the article make a distinction between acute post-training soreness and the kind of chronic grinding sound my knee makes during heavy squats?

I appreciate the breakdown of Janu Basti and how it differs from just applying oil daily; it sounds like a worthwhile therapy for chronic knee soreness.
