For an inflamed supraspinatus tendon, Ayurvedic approach can be quite supportive alongside your current treatments. First, it’s crucial to focus on reducing inflammation and facilitating the healing process. Begin by examining your diet; consuming anti-inflammatory foods can help. Consider incorporating more turmeric, ginger, and garlic into your meals, as they are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. You can have turmeric milk before bed by boiling milk with a pinch of turmeric.
Include plenty of warm and nourishing foods like soups and stews, and avoid cold, raw or heavy foods that may aggravate vata dosha. Hydrate adequately, focusing on warm water or herbal teas, like ginger tea, through the day. Absolutely steer clear of icy drinks as they can increase stiffness.
Respect your body’s response to exercise. Ensure your activities like kundalini yoga and Qi Gong are low-impact and don’t strain the shoulder excessively. Restoring balance through gentle movements can support the injury. Hot epsom salt baths can be soothing and relieve discomfort.
Regular self-massage with warm sesame oil on the shoulder, avoiding too much pressure, can improve circulation and ease tension. Be careful not to irritate the area further though. Castor oil packs over the shoulder few times a week may also draw out inflammation. After applying heat, rest for 15-20 minutes.
Consult your therapist if any modification in exercise routines is needed, and stop any movement causing pain. Shavasana or deep breathing exercises can also calm the nervous system, promoting healing.
Ultimately patience, gentle care and regularity with these practices should gradually aid in recovery. If symptoms persist or worsen, revisit a healthcare provider for further guidance.
