What is nerve pain in the leg and how does Ayurveda treat it naturally? - #16657
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing some nerve pain in my leg, which starts as a sharp, tingling sensation in my lower back and shoots down to my thighs and calves. Sometimes it feels like a burning sensation, and other times it’s more of a dull ache. The pain often worsens after I’ve been sitting for long periods or when I move in certain ways. I’m worried that this might be related to sciatica, but I haven’t been formally diagnosed yet. I’ve heard that nerve pain can be related to nerve compression or inflammation of the sciatic nerve, and I’m curious about how Ayurveda views nerve pain and what remedies it offers. Does Ayurveda link nerve pain to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and nervous system function? What Ayurvedic herbs or treatments can help reduce nerve pain and support nervous system health? I’ve read that Ashwagandha, Turmeric, and Brahmi are helpful for nerve health and inflammation, but I’m unsure how to incorporate them into my daily routine. Also, are there Ayurvedic therapies like abhyanga (oil massage) or Panchakarma that can help ease nerve pain and improve circulation in the affected areas? If anyone has experience with nerve pain in the leg or sciatica and found relief through Ayurvedic treatments, I’d love to hear about what worked for you.
