🌿 Ayurvedic Medicines (General Guidance) ⚠️ Please consult your Ayurvedic physician before starting, especially if you are on allopathic medicines. 1️⃣ Yograj Guggulu Reduces Vata Good for stiffness 2️⃣ Mahayograj Guggulu In more chronic cases 3️⃣ Simhanad Guggulu If Ama (heaviness, sluggish digestion) present 4️⃣ Dashmool Kwath Anti-inflammatory Good for weather-related pain 5️⃣ Ashwagandha Withania somnifera Reduces inflammation Supports immunity Improves strength 🏡 Home Remedies 🔸 1. 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
