Your symptoms suggest post-injury nerve irritation or partial nerve compression in the thigh region. Even though the muscle healed, the sensory nerve supplying that area may still be recovering — this often causes mild numbness or tingling sensations when pressed.
Ayurvedic Management for Nerve Rejuvenation
External care:
Apply Ksheerabala taila or Dhanwantharam taila over the thigh and knee region twice daily, followed by gentle warm fomentation.
Avoid deep massage; use mild circular strokes only.
Internal support (after consultation):
Aswagandha capsule or Brahmi capsule – once daily after food for nerve nourishment.
Ksheerabala 101 capsule – helps in nerve regeneration and reducing tingling.
Continue light stretching and gentle yoga, especially leg and hip mobility exercises.
Lifestyle tips:
Avoid sitting cross-legged for long.
Keep the leg warm and avoid exposure to cold.
Maintain regular sleep and balanced diet with ghee, milk, and dry fruits (especially almonds and walnuts).
Recovery of nerve function is gradual — with regular oil application and internal support, improvement is usually seen within a few weeks.

Numbness and nerve discomfort following an injury can be persistent, and it’s important to address such issues carefully. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this situation often relates to Vata dosha imbalance, which can affect nerve health and lead to symptoms like numbness or tingling.
One potential remedy is the use of Mahanarayan oil, known for its nerve-rejuvenating properties. Gently massage the affected area with warm Mahanarayan oil twice daily—morning and evening. Let the oil sit for about 30 minutes before washing it off with slightly warm water. This helps to improve circulation and soothe the aggravated nerves.
Internally, Ashwagandha powder could be beneficial. Mix about half a teaspoon in warm milk and consume it at bedtime. It is known for its ability to calm Vata and strengthen nerve health. Be sure to maintain regularity with this routine for a few months to help observe changes.
Diet modifications such as incorporating ghee can be useful as ghee is regarded as an excellent Vata pacifier and supports overall nerve and muscle health. Consume one teaspoon of warm ghee in the morning on an empty stomach if it suits you.
Ensure you’re staying hydrated and consuming a diet rich in warming spices like ginger and turmeric, which aid in improving circulation and relieving nerve issues. Turmeric can be taken as “Golden Milk” — mix a pinch of turmeric in warm milk, drink once daily.
While these recommendations might help, numbness and nerve issues post-injury should be continuously monitored. If symptoms persist, seeking regular feedback from both Ayurvedic and conventional healthcare professionals is advised . Immediate medical counsel is essential if there’s significant pain, increasing symptoms, or other new concerning developments.
From what you have mentioned, you are right, like muscle injury has healed in terms of strength and mobility, but the persistent shock under that nerve fibres were affected during the injury and are still partially irritated or compressed This is common in muscle or deep tissue injuries where nerve can get stretched, compressed, or inflamed
In Ayurveda Nehru issues are seen as vata imbalance affecting the pathways that supply the aim is to know, reach and rejuvenate, nerves, improve circulation and relax surrounding tissues For internal support, herbs that help narrow regeneration and strength include Ashwagandha churna half teaspoon with warm milk once daily Guduchi tab one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Brahmi tab one tablet twice daily after food with warm milk Triphala churna 1 teaspoon with warm water at night Use Ksheerabala taila a apply back of the Thigh and calf massage gently once or twice daily Avoid pressing directly on areas of sharp pain, focus on surrounding muscles to improve circulation and traduce nerve tension Light walking, mild yoga exercise exercises to be done Avoid prolonged sitting position that compress the back of the thigh or knee Since you have already tried Neurobion four months with limited improvement, combining internal ayurvedic, Naruto tonics with regular external oil massage and gentle physiotherapy is often more effective for chronic nerve recovery
