Abstract
Aging is an universal process in which every living organism has to pass through a biological imperative of life. In the words of Seneca “Old age is an incurable disease”, but recently, Sir James Stierting Ross commended “you do not heal old age, you protect it; you promote it; you extend it”. Herbals are most ancient medicines with an impressive record of safety and efficacy since they are easily available and prepared from locally available resources. Recent research has revealed considerable supportive evidence for the use of some herbs and oils in the treatment of joint pain. Department of complementary medicine, Australia (2003) recommended topical application of ajwain oil prepared from ajwain and camphor for immediate and sustained pain relief, since its easy and quick absorption when applied topically, making it an effective treatment for joint pain. Specific action of ajwain oil is to dispel blockages and restore circulation. Table 4 highlights that in the posttest II there was a highly significant difference (P<0.01) in the pain, stiffness, physical function subscale score and overall score between the study and the control group.The findings of the study were consistent with the literature and have support from the studies conducted in India and in the world. Hence the present study concluded that the ajwain oil inunction is one of the best treatments to reduce joint pain among elderly.
