Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

We cannot do much things with ayurveda when the condition is acute. But, there are a lot of things that you can do to cure after effects of chikungunya and to prevent it.

My advice is to get ayurveda medicines from some recommended and renowned ayurveda pharmacies.

Treatment plan:

  1. Amrutharishtam 1.01 ounces two times a day after meals.
  2. Yograj Guggulu, two tablets with water before meals.
  3. Amruthotharam Kashayam, 0.51 ounces with 2.03 ounces water, 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner.
  4. Avipathy Choornam, one teaspoon with a glass of warm water at bedtime.
  5. Apply Kottamchukkadi Thailam (oil) all over the body and take a hot water bath after 30 minutes. Avoid cold breezes and air conditioning after oil application.
  6. Treatments like Abhyangam (Ayurvedic massage) and Pottali massage can be helpful.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.

Thank you.
