Yes i understand that all give different medications, in Ayurveda medicine content could be same properties of medicine will be same just the different medicines. It is curable, I advise you to take Panchkarma treatments, will help for sooner recovery.

L4–L5 disc protrusion is considered a Vata disorder (Vata vyadhi) affecting the spine (Kati region), leading to pain and stiffness. Ayurvedic approach: Reduce aggravated Vata and strengthen tissues Effective management: External therapies: Daily Kati Abhyanga (lower back massage) with warm medicated oils( sahacharadi oil) Gentle Kati Basti (oil pooling therapy) for nourishment and pain relief Rx 1. Sahacharadi kwath tab - 2 tab twice a day after meal 2. Muscalt forte tab - 2 tab twice a day after meal 3. Kseerbala 101 avrt cap - 1 cap twice a day after meal Lifestyle correction Avoid prolonged sitting and poor posture Use firm mattress, maintain proper spine alignment Include warm, nourishing diet (milk, ghee)

understand the confusion—when multiple doctors give different medicines, it can feel overwhelming. Rx 1. Tab Amritadi gugglu - 2 tab twice a day after meal for uric acid 2. Cap Spondylon - 2 cap twice a day after meal 3. Prasaranyadi kawath tab - 2 tab twice a day after meal

Hello, In Ayurveda, an L4-L5 disc protrusion is viewed as Gridhrasi (Sciatica) or Kati Shoola, primarily caused by an imbalance of Vata Dosha. Since your son is young and a student, the goal is to reduce nerve inflammation and strengthen the spine without causing drowsiness. ​ ​The protrusion is seen as a “Vata-Kapha” obstruction. The dry, cold qualities of Vata cause the disc to lose moisture and bulge, while Kapha-related inflammation puts pressure on the nerves. Treatment focuses on Vata Shamana (calming Vata) and Brimhana (nourishment of the nerves and bones). ​ Medicine : ​1. Sahacharadi Kwath (Tablet or Liquid) ​Action: Specifically targets ailments of the lower limbs and lumbar spine. It helps reduce the protrusion’s pressure on the spinal nerves. ​Dose: 15 ml liquid with 45 ml lukewarm water (or 2 tablets) twice daily, 30 minutes before food. ​2. Ksheerabala (101) Capsules ​Action: A concentrated, medicated oil processed 101 times. It acts as a potent nerve tonic and promotes tissue repair. ​Dose: 1 capsule twice daily after food with warm water or milk. ​3. Myaxyl Oil (For External Application) ​Action: An anti-inflammatory oil that provides quick relief from muscle spasms and stiffness associated with disc issues. ​Usage: Apply gently over the lower back twice daily. Do not massage vigorously; follow with a warm water bag fomentation. ​ ​As a college student, he must avoid long hours of continuous sitting. Use a lumbar support cushion. ​ He should avoid lifting heavy objects or performing forward-bending exercises until the acute pain subsides. ​ Favor warm, freshly cooked meals with healthy fats (like Ghee) to lubricate the joints from within.

Yes, borderline uric acid is also curable through Ayurveda. You can share reports and other investigations with current symptoms related to it. And you can take personal consultation with any doctor regarding your issue.

Some regime you should follow ✔️Do’s:✔️ Eat freshly cooked food. Chew an inch of fresh ginger half an before meal. Eat only fruit vegetables. Limit dairy products (stop if possible) Get proper physiotherapy from trained physiotherapist for best results ❌Dont’s:❌ Sitting directly under a fan or right in front of the A.C Oily, spicy, processed food. Packed food products. Sour and fermented items. Bakery items. Fried food products. Potatoes. 💊Medication💊 Tab. Ampachak Vati. 2 tabs twice a day before food. Tab. Sinhanad Guggul 2 tabs twice a day before food. Cap. Palsinuron 2 caps twice a day before food. Syp. Maharasnadi Kwath 3 tsp twice a day before food with warm water. Tab. Shankhavati 2 tabs twice a day after food. Suck and eat like hajmola Castor Oil. 3 tsp at bed time with a cup of hot water.
