Hello, Ayurveda has a positive treatment for Osteoarthritis. But this is not a condition in which home remedies or self medication help. So if you want to avoid knee replacement for her, start her ayurveda treatment soon

Ayurveda offers excellent management in the form of panchakarma. Meet up with a panchakarma expert who will probably start with janu basti, anuvasan basti, tikta ksheer basti along with lifestyle changes. Knee replacement can definitely be avoided.
