What Are the Uses of Pregabalin and How Can Ayurveda Help with Nerve Pain Relief? - #14916

Anonymously

I was recently prescribed pregabalin by my doctor for nerve pain in my legs and lower back. I’ve been experiencing sharp, shooting pains that come and go, along with a constant burning sensation, especially after sitting for long periods. The doctor told me that pregabalin can help with nerve-related pain, and although I’ve been taking it as prescribed, I’m not sure about its long-term effects. I’ve heard that pregabalin can have side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, and weight gain, which makes me hesitant to rely on it too much. I’m wondering if Ayurveda offers any natural alternatives to manage nerve pain, especially since the discomfort seems to be affecting my daily activities. Could Ayurveda help in relieving nerve pain without the need for medications like pregabalin? I’ve read that herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi are used in Ayurveda to strengthen the nervous system. Are these effective in treating nerve pain, and if so, how should they be incorporated into a daily routine? Also, are there Ayurvedic therapies like oil massages or specific exercises that can help reduce nerve pain and inflammation? Has anyone here used Ayurvedic treatments for nerve pain instead of pregabalin? What natural remedies worked for you?

Doctors’ responses

Ayurveda offers several natural remedies and therapies that may help manage nerve pain and support long-term nervous system health. While it’s important to follow your doctor’s advice regarding pregabalin, you can explore Ayurvedic alternatives for additional relief: 1. Herbs for Nerve Pain Relief Ashwagandha: Known for its adaptogenic properties, Ashwagandha helps reduce inflammation, strengthen the nervous system, and alleviate chronic pain. Brahmi: Traditionally used for calming the mind and supporting nervous function, it can help reduce the burning sensation and pain. Turmeric (Curcumin): Its strong anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce nerve inflammation and associated pain. Tagara (Valeriana wallichii): A calming herb that helps with nerve pain and promotes relaxation, reducing shooting pains and discomfort. 2. Therapies & Massages Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Using warm oils like Mahanarayan or sesame oil with gentle massage helps reduce nerve inflammation and soothes pain. Kati Basti: A targeted Ayurvedic therapy where warm medicated oil is placed on the lower back to reduce nerve pain and improve circulation. 3. Lifestyle & Dietary Adjustments Nerve-Strengthening Foods: Include healthy fats like ghee, almonds, walnuts, and avocados, along with leafy greens and turmeric. Yoga & Pranayama: Gentle yoga poses like Child’s Pose or Cat-Cow Pose help relieve nerve tension, and deep breathing (Nadi Shodhana) helps improve nerve relaxation and reduce stress on the body. 4. Additional Tips Avoid excess sitting or static positions that may worsen nerve pain. Stay hydrated and prioritize sleep to promote healing. Success Stories Many have found relief using a combination of Ayurvedic herbs and therapies alongside physical therapy. However, nerve pain management may take weeks or months for visible improvements.
