Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

According to your height and weight, your BMI (body mass index) is 26.42. The normal BMI should be between 18.5 to 24.9. So, the knee pain may be due to you being overweight. So, try to reduce your weight. If due to excess pain, you cannot do exercise, then start walking daily for at least 30 to 60 minutes. Weight control will help you a lot in controlling pain. I suggest you try taking the following for the knee pain.

  1. Take tablet Yograj Guggul (Chitraka, Pipallimoola, Yavani), two tablets twice a day with lukewarm water for four weeks. Do not swallow the tablets, first chew them then take them with water.
  2. Take the tablet, Vishamushti Vati, one tablet twice a day with water for four weeks. If you have high blood pressure, then take this tablet only once a day.
  3. Use Mahanarayan oil (Mahanarayan oil (Aswagandha, Bilva, Gokhuru) and massage your knees with it twice a day.
  4. Drink one glass of lukewarm milk in the evening and add a half teaspoon of turmeric and a pinch of ginger powder in it. Take this for two to four weeks.

For stomach malfunction try taking the following:

  1. Bilwadi lehyam (Musta, Nagakeshar, Trikatu), two teaspoons before food for a month.
  2. Avoid spicy, fatty, junk food and excessive caffeinated drinks, as they may act as stomach irritants and also increase weight.
  3. Sleep adequately at least for 6 to 8 hours a day.

Try all these regularly after consulting your doctor, and you will soon feel positive results.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer.
