Can Ayurveda help relieve sciatica pain naturally? - #16587
I’ve been dealing with terrible pain running from my lower back all the way down my leg. At first, it was just mild discomfort, but now it’s become a sharp, shooting pain that gets worse when I sit too long or try to bend. Walking sometimes makes it better, but if I stand for too long, the pain flares up again. I looked up my symptoms, and everything points to sciatica. A doctor friend told me it happens when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, but no one explained why it happens or how to stop it for good. I took painkillers a few times, but they just numb the pain for a few hours, and then it comes back just as bad. I don’t want to keep relying on painkillers or muscle relaxers. I’ve heard Ayurveda has treatments for sciatica pain, and I want to know if there are specific herbs, oils, or therapies that can help. Could this be a Vata imbalance? Are there certain foods, yoga poses, or lifestyle changes that could help release nerve pressure? I really need to find relief because this pain is affecting my work and daily life. If anyone has used Ayurveda to treat sciatica, I’d love to hear what worked for you. Any recommendations would be really helpful!
