Sciatica Relief Potli
Pain that travels from the lower back to the legs. A dull ache or burning stream of discomfort that refuses to let go.
In Ayurveda, this condition is known as Gridhrasi. The name comes from ‘Gridhra’ meaning vulture — describing the limping gait caused by pain.
Ayurveda teaches that imbalance in Vata dosha causes this condition. And that warmth, herbs, and touch can bring relief.
This is where the Sciatica Relief Potli comes in — a time-tested home therapy for soothing nerve pain.
Disclaimer: This guide is for educational purposes only. It does not replace medical advice.
Consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider before beginning any new treatment.
Dry roast all ingredients except camphor for about 3–5 minutes until fragrant. Do not burn them.
Add camphor once the mix cools slightly, and stir gently.
Place the mixture in a cotton or muslin cloth, gather the edges and tie securely into a small pouch or potli.
How to Use
Warm some castor or sesame oil in a pan.
Dip the potli briefly in the oil and check that the heat feels comfortable on the skin.
Press and massage gently over the lower back, buttocks, and legs — following the pain path.
Continue for 15–20 minutes. Rest after treatment and avoid exposure to cold air immediately.
Tips for Best Results
Apply daily or on alternate days for 10–15 days.
You can reuse the potli up to three times within two days — keep it refrigerated between uses.
Always use on warm, dry skin (never right after a bath).
If pain is severe, reduce heat intensity. Gentle warmth heals better than force.
Ayurvedic Insight
Each herb in this blend plays a purpose.
Nirgundi and castor leaves calm Vata and reduce stiffness.
Tulsi and ajwain open the channels and improve circulation.
Methi and turmeric reduce swelling.
Dry ginger and garlic warm the body from within.
Together they awaken prana — the flow of life force — and ease the grip of pain on the nerves.
Practical Advice
Do not perform this therapy if there is open skin or severe inflammation.
Always test the heat level first.
Sit quietly after the massage and allow the warmth to sink deep.
Drink warm water afterward.
Repeat regularly, and observe how your body responds.
The goal is not just pain relief. It’s restoring balance.
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives.
After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots.
Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups.
My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right.
I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

You can try adding dried ginger, turmeric, or fenugreek seeds to your potli. These ingredients can support pain relief and reduce inflammation. Remember to adjust according to your constitution (prakriti) and any dosha imbalances. If you're unsure, consulting an Ayurvedic specialist might be a good idea. Try experimenting!

Figuring out if your pain's from a Vata imbalance can be tricky. Look for symptoms like dryness, coldness, and variability in your pain. Vata pain often feels sharp or moving and might worsen with stress or cold. If you're unsure, try some warmth and oil massage—they usually help balance Vata. But if it's severe or persistent, consulting a practitioner may provide more clarity.
What are some effective ways to manage pain after treatment besides rest and avoiding cold air?

Besides rest and avoiding cold air, you can try gentle yoga or stretching to relieve pain. Warm massages using sesame oil can help balance vata dosha and soothe tissues too. A warm herbal tea like ginger or turmeric boosts digestive fire (agni) & helps with inflammation. Also, try soaking in a warm bath, it can be really relaxing!

If the potli isn't helping with your sciatica pain, it might be time to check a few things. Make sure you're using it consistently, like daily or every other day for 10-15 days, and that it's being applied on warm, dry skin. If pain is severe, try reducing the heat. But hey, if nothing changes, it might be worth consulting a healthcare professional to explore other options.

If your sciatica pain eases off or gets better in a few days, the potli might be working for you. You can feel more flexible and relaxed too. But it's not always an overnight thing—sometimes you got to use it a few times to really see the difference.. Just make sure to follow the tips like keep it warm and dry, and avoid cold right after. If it's not helping, or you're unsure, it'd be good to check with a practitioner who knows your specific dosha situation!
How do I know if the heat from the Sciatica Relief Potli is too intense for my skin?

If the heat from the potli feels uncomfortable or starts to give a burning sensation, it's too intense – just let it cool down a bit before using it again. Everyone's skin varies, so perform a quick test on a small area. Listen to your skin, and adjust the warmth to your comfort level. Stay warm, not burnt!
