I was diagnosed with varicose veins about a year and a half ago and I've been on medication since. I've been told it's hereditary. But now, I'm experiencing some side effects from the meds. I'm curious if there's a treatment or cure in Ayurveda that could help with this. Could anyone provide some guidance on this?

I'm trying to figure out the best time to drink milk. Should I have it in the morning or at night? Also, is it okay to drink milk right after dinner, or should I wait a bit? I've got a mixed pitta dominant and vata prakrati, so I'm wondering if milk is good for me. Plus, when I have acidity, is it recommended to drink milk? And what about when I'm constipated is milk a good idea then?

I'm a 53-year-old guy who's really into staying fitI exercise, walk, and swim daily. Lately, though, my knees have been hurting a lot, especially when I swim or walk. I'm not keen on taking any allopathic meds for this. Can you suggest an ayurvedic treatment or remedy that might help?

Knee pain, especially with your active routine, could be due to overuse or joint stress. Ayurvedic treatments like **Ashwagandha** for inflammation, **Turmeric** for its anti-inflammatory properties, and **Mahanarayan Oil** for local application can help soothe the pain. It's also beneficial to incorporate gentle yoga stretches and avoid excessive strain on the knees. Always consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
