Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Tennis Elbow, or Lateral Epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse or strain of the forearm muscles, leading to inflammation of the tendons around the elbow. Ayurveda addresses this through external therapies like Abhyanga (medicated oil massage), Pizhichil, Njavarakizhi, and Elakizhi to alleviate pain and swelling. Internal herbal medicines support tissue regeneration and strengthen the affected tendons. Treatments focus on balancing the Vata dosha, often aggravated in such conditions, ensuring improved joint mobility and prevention of recurrence. Gentle yoga, diet modifications, and lifestyle corrections are also integrated for comprehensive healing.
