Why Do I Have Constant Neck Pain, and Can Ayurveda Help with Long-Term Relief? - #15665
For the past several months, I’ve been dealing with persistent neck pain, and I can’t seem to figure out what’s causing it. Some days it’s just a dull ache, but other times it feels like a sharp, shooting pain that spreads to my shoulders. I know that neck pain can be caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or even stress. But how do I determine the exact cause of mine? Could it be from working at a desk all day, or is there a deeper issue like nerve compression or a herniated disc? Since I prefer natural approaches, I started looking into Ayurveda’s perspective on neck pain. I found that neck stiffness and tension are often linked to a Vata imbalance, which affects circulation and nerve function. Are there Ayurvedic treatments like herbal oils, massages, or dietary changes that can help relieve neck pain long-term? I read about Mahanarayan oil and Dashmool for muscle relaxation—do these actually work? Another thing I’m curious about is whether certain sleeping positions or pillows make neck pain worse. Should I be using a specific type of pillow or mattress to support my neck? For those who have struggled with chronic neck pain, what worked for you? Did you need medical treatment, or were you able to manage it naturally? I’d love to hear about real experiences with pain relief.
