How does Ayurveda help with spine and joint care, and what are the best treatments? - #12859
I have been suffering from chronic joint stiffness and spinal discomfort, and I want to avoid surgery or painkillers. I recently started looking into spine and joint care in Ayurveda, which focuses on natural healing and strengthening instead of just pain relief. From what I read, Ayurveda sees spine and joint pain as a result of Vata imbalance, leading to poor flexibility, nerve compression, and inflammation. But how do Ayurvedic treatments work to restore spinal health and joint mobility? Are there specific herbs, oils, or therapies that help in lubricating joints and repairing tissues? I’ve seen treatments like Basti therapy, Pizhichil, and Kati Vasti being recommended for joint and spine problems. How effective are they for conditions like herniated discs, arthritis, and sciatica? If anyone has undergone spine and joint care treatment in Ayurveda, please share your experience. Did it provide long-term relief?
