Tennis Elbow Ayurvedic Treatment – Safe & Natural Healing at Ayura
If lifting something hurts at the external part of your elbow, or everyday tasks like turning a door handle or holding a mug cause sharp pain, you might have tennis elbow( also called side epicondylitis). Though its name suggests it’s only for tennis players, in truth, anyone who overuses forearm muscles, typing, painting, carrying, or grip-heavy work can get it.
At Ayura, Ayurveda Clinic in Abu Dhabi, we treat tennis elbow with the aim of long-term relief. We don’t just mask pain; we combine herbal remedies, soothing oil painting curatives, gentle exercises, and life adaptations to heal the tendon, reduce inflammation, and restore strength.
What Causes Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow happens when tendons that connect forearm muscles to the elbow become bothered, inflamed, or slightly torn. Common triggers are
- repetitious wrist and arm movements( typing, oil, chatter sports)
- Overuse without enough rest
- Poor posture or indecorous fashion during tasks or sports
- unforeseen strain on the elbow or lifting heavy effects
- Weak forearm muscles or lack of inflexibility
In Ayurveda, this is understood as an issue of Snayugata Vata, where Vata dosha is exacerbated in tendons( Snayu), causing pain, stiffness, and poor mending.
Symptoms of Tennis Elbow
You may see or feel
- Pain or burning on the outside of the elbow
- Tenderness when touching that area
- Pain that worsens when you grip, lift, or twist your wrist
- Weakness in the forearm and grip
- Sometimes stiffness in the morning or after rest
That’s how we treat tennis elbow naturally, safely, and effectively.
1. Herbal Remedies & Internal Medicines
These help reduce inflammation, support tendon mending, and balance Vata
- Ashwagandha – anti-inflammatory, strengthens muscles & tendons
- Guggulu( e.g., Yogaraj Guggulu) – helps reduce pain & ameliorate rotation in the affected area
- Shallaki( Boswellia serrata) – for swelling and inflammation
- Other phrasings( herbal decoctions) to calm Vata and fix the root cause.
2. External curatives & Massage
These are important for giving quick relief and promoting healing
- Abhyanga( oil painting massage) with treated herbal canvases to warm the towel, relax muscles, and ameliorate rotation around the elbow.
- Lepa( herbal paste) is applied on the painful area, a calming, anti-inflammatory paste.
- Cataplasm curatives like Patra Pinda Sweda or Elakizhi are used with warm herbal packs.
- Original brume or warmth( Swedana) to reduce stiffness.
3. Panchakarma & Special Treatments
For more severe or habitual cases, deeper curatives help
- Agnikarma — a procedure involving remedial heat( burner- grounded) to stimulate mending at tendon attachment. Studies show it helps with pain and movement.
- Marma Therapy — stimulating certain Marma points to reduce pain and ameliorate veins/ tendon health.
- Basti remedy in Ayurveda( treated enemas or oil painting treatments) when Vata is high.
Diet & Lifestyle Tips
Healing a tendon needs further than just treatments — what you eat and how you live matter a lot.
- Eat warm, fresh, easy- to- condensation foods. Include mists, cooked vegetables, and healthy fats.
- Use anti-inflammatory spices, turmeric, and gusto.
- Avoid cold, veritably dry, reused, fried foods that increase Vata or vexation.
- Rest the elbow when possible. Avoid heavy lifting, repetitive stirring until pain lowers.
- Gentle stretching & strengthening once pain subsides, small hand/ grip exercises.
- Sleep well, reduce stress; stress can worsen inflammation via Vata.
