Kerala Ayurveda Kesini Oil can indeed be a useful adjunct for addressing neck pain, especially when related to muscle tightness from prolonged poor posture. While it’s traditionally known for hair care, some people have adapted it for massage, benefiting from its herbal properties, which may help soothe discomfort and improve circulation.
To use Kesini Oil for neck pain, apply a small amount directly on the affected area. Massage gently in circular motions for about 10-15 minutes. For best results, this can be done twice daily, ideally in the morning and evening. This will allow the oil to penetrate and help alleviate the muscle tension. It’s important to apply it regularly for at least a week to assess its effectiveness. Use caution not to overmassage, as that could aggravate inflammation or discomfort.
If the oil doesn’t relieve the pain, there are other Ayurvedic approaches you might try. Incorporate lifestyle adjustments focusing on vata balance—since vata dosha often aggravates neck tension. Ensure you maintain good posture, take regular breaks from sitting, and practice gentle neck stretches.
Herbal formulations containing ashwagandha, dashamula, or guggulu might also provide further support for muscle relaxation and joint health. These should be used under guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure they suit your specific body constitution.
Include dietary considerations to support vata balance — warm, cooked foods with ghee, staying hydrated, and avoiding cold, dry foods. If the pain worsens or you experience any new symptoms like numbness or severe pain, seek immediate medical attention to rule out serious conditions. Prioritizing both natural therapies and modern medical advice could provide the most comprehensive support.
