Shoulder - #17873

A few weeks ago, I started experiencing a dull ache in my shoulder that would come and go. At first, I ignored it, thinking it was just due to sleeping in a weird position. But over time, the pain got worse, especially when I lifted something heavy or reached overhead. Now, even simple tasks like brushing my hair or carrying groceries seem difficult, and my shoulder feels stiff. I’m starting to worry that it could be something more serious. I began researching shoulder pain, and I found that it can be caused by a variety of issues, including muscle strain, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, or even arthritis. Some sources mention that poor posture, lack of exercise, or overuse can contribute to shoulder problems, while others say that aging and joint wear-and-tear are common causes. Now, I’m wondering—how can I figure out what’s causing my shoulder pain, and what can I do naturally to treat it? Doctor, I want to understand how Ayurveda views shoulder pain and whether there are natural remedies to relieve the discomfort. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs, oils, or therapies that can help reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and promote healing for shoulder injuries? I have heard about the benefits of Mahanarayan oil, Ashwagandha, and Turmeric for joint and muscle health—do they really help with shoulder pain, and how should they be used? I also want to know if my daily habits or lifestyle might be making my shoulder pain worse. Should I avoid certain movements or exercises that could aggravate the condition? Does Ayurveda recommend any specific stretches, yoga poses, or massage techniques to improve shoulder flexibility and reduce tension? Since I prefer natural treatments over relying on painkillers or injections, I’m looking for an Ayurvedic approach to managing my shoulder pain. Please guide me on the best Ayurvedic remedies, exercises, and lifestyle modifications to alleviate pain and improve the strength and mobility of my shoulder naturally.
