What is the effectiveness of Elakizhi treatment for chronic back pain? - #12708
For the past few months, my back pain has been getting worse, especially in the mornings. Feels like my whole lower back is stiff, and by the time I try to stand up, it takes a few minutes before I can actually straighten up properly. A friend suggested trying elakizhi treatment, said it really helped him, but I’ve never tried Ayurveda before. I work a desk job, sitting for long hours, and barely get time to exercise. I know that’s probably making my back worse, but even when I do try some stretches, the relief is temporary. I’ve taken painkillers sometimes, but I don’t want to depend on them. That’s why I’m looking into elakizhi treatment as a more natural solution. From what I’ve read, elakizhi treatment involves herbal poultices, but how exactly does it work? Does it help in reducing inflammation or just temporarily relieve the pain? How many sessions of elakizhi treatment are usually needed before seeing real improvement? Also, is there any chance it could worsen my pain if not done correctly? If anyone has tried elakizhi treatment, especially for back pain, I’d love to hear about your experience. Was it worth it, and how long did the effects last? Also, any precautions I should take before going for my first session?
