Castor Oil + Warm Milk (Night) 1 tsp once or twice weekly Helps reduce inflammation and stiffness. 🔸 2. Dry Ginger + Turmeric Milk Anti-inflammatory Especially helpful in cold weather 🔸 3. Hot Fomentation Apply warm towel on lower back Avoid cold exposure 🔸 4. Gentle Daily Stretching Very important — AS improves with movement. Best: Bhujangasana Marjari Asana Setu Bandhasana Daily brisk walking 30 min 🥗 What To Eat ✔️ Good Foods Warm, freshly cooked meals Moong dal Garlic Turmeric Sesame oil Cow ghee (small quantity) Ragi Methi ✔️ Anti-inflammatory Foods Flax seeds Walnuts Amla 🚫 What To Avoid Curd at night Cold drinks Refrigerated food Excess tomato & brinjal (if increases pain) Excess sugar Refined flour Heavy non-veg in excess 🌧 Weather Trigger Care Since weather change increases pain: Keep lower back warm Avoid AC air directly on spine Oil massage with Mahanarayan oil before bath ⚠️ Important Medical Advice AS is progressive if untreated. If not already: Check HLA-B27 ESR/CRP monitoring Spine X-ray or MRI Modern medicine like NSAIDs or biologics may be required in active phase. Ayurveda can support but should not delay necessary treatment. 🎯 Long-Term Goal Maintain spinal flexibility Reduce inflammation markers Prevent spinal fusion
