Back pain - #1830

The pain you're experiencing in the back shoulder, neck, and head, which worsens when sitting, may be related to a Vata imbalance in Ayurveda. Vata governs movement and is linked to muscles, joints, and the nervous system, so issues like stiffness and pain are often signs of Vata disturbances. Ayurvedic Solutions: Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Regularly massaging with warm Mahanarayan or Sesame oil can help reduce muscle tension and improve circulation. Hot Compresses: Applying heat to the affected area can ease stiffness and pain. Herbal Remedies: Ashwagandha: Reduces inflammation and supports muscle health. Guggulu: Helps with joint and muscle pain relief. Posture Correction: Maintain a straight posture to avoid strain on muscles and joints. Yoga: Gentle stretches like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) can improve flexibility and relieve tension. Diet: Eat warm, moist foods that balance Vata, and avoid dry, cold foods that worsen stiffness. If pain persists, consider seeing an Ayurvedic doctor personally for a tailored treatment plan.
