Mrs. Latha struggled with persistent knee pain from osteoarthritis that made walking, standing for long periods and bending the knee difficult, with only short-term relief from conventional treatments. At AVN Arogya she followed a personalised plan of herbal oil massages and steam therapies, Panchakarma detox, joint-health Ayurvedic medicines and gentle therapeutic exercises. According to the video, within a few days she noticed reduced stiffness and a gradual return of strength and flexibility. (Based on the video description.)

Transcript of the video above.
My name is Latha. I have come from Singampunari in Sivagangai district. For my knee pain I showed it to many doctors in allopathy and they gave injections in the knees. Having had them, my pain did not reduce. Then it was through our relations that they told us about this AVN Hospital. When they told me, I then telephoned and asked at the reception. They said, come and be seen like this, the doctor said. Then Dr. Arun was the one who saw me. Having seen me, he at once told me to be in bed for fifteen days. Now I have stayed fifteen days. While I stayed, they gave me a lot of treatment according to the Ayurvedic method. The swelling in my leg has gone down. The pain I had at first is not there. There is still a little pain. But what the doctor said was, for about 3 months — even while he was saying it he said, because there is a lot of wear in your leg, 65% will heal. Take medicine for 3 months. Then, as you do the exercises and all of this, it will be well cured, he said. Accordingly, now, to a reasonable extent, when I walk there is a sound; that is somewhat all right. The swelling has gone down. I have a hope that, taking the medicine as the doctor said, it will be well cured. So I came to this hospital with a great deal of confidence. Going with the same confidence — all the people I know, our teachers; I am a teacher, and our teachers all ask. I have told them a lot about this hospital too. They too are thinking of coming. Next, the treatment here — they gave me a different kind of treatment every day, properly in the Ayurvedic way. They gave a lot, with milk and then with oil and then with — what was it, that treatment — they gave a lot of treatment. Giving this and that, they gave me a different treatment every day. It has become good. And then the staff nurses cooperated well. And then the physiotherapist here — she gave me a lot too; at first, while I wasdoing the exercises for the back pain, I got a slight back pain as well. Having done the physiotherapy and all of it, now the back pain is completely gone. They have taught me all the exercises now too. Having given them, saying do it like this. Everyone is nicely cooperative and affectionate. In every way this is good. I have now recommended the hospital to a lot of people. So I have even more confidence. Next, as the doctor said, they have told me to come after another month. I am being discharged from this hospital tomorrow with a hope that when that time comes it will be cured for me. Thank you very much.
