Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and following is my opinion and recommendations about the disease:

1. Since at present there is no specific cure-treatment-vaccination for chikunguniya thus mostly treatment and management is symptomatic:

i. Adequate bed rest,maintain hydration (liberal intake of fluids),light diet and avoid Vata aggravating diet.

ii. As the disease is considered to be of Vata predominance and mostly affect the bones (sandhi jwara) which is the seat of Vata and considering their age which is also Vata dominant thus treatment will be little tricky since decreasing the one will increase other.

iii. As the Immune system will take care of the symptoms and the pathology thus IMMUNOMODULATORS (Rasayan Chikitsa) should be added with herbs like shatavari, Ashwagandha,Mandukparni,Trifla.

iv. Result oriented and evidence based medicine which I usually prescribe to my patient(s) are:
. Amritarishta
. XXXXXXX Churan
. Panchtikta Kashyam
. Bilvadi gutika
. Makarprash
. Massage with Prasarni taila

PS. If interested I can courier you the medicine will dietary regime and lifestyle management.

Do revert back with your concern(s)
