Muscle Relaxers - #18537
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with severe muscle stiffness and occasional spasms, especially in my neck, shoulders, and lower back. My job requires me to sit for long hours, and by the end of the day, I feel tense, sore, and sometimes even unable to move my neck properly. The stiffness is worse in the mornings, and I often wake up feeling like my muscles are locked in place. I tried taking over-the-counter muscle relaxers, but they make me feel drowsy and sluggish throughout the day, and I don’t want to rely on medications for long-term relief. I am looking for Ayurvedic alternatives to muscle relaxers that can help with stiffness, muscle pain, and improving flexibility naturally. I also noticed that my muscle stiffness gets worse in cold weather, and I feel better after taking a warm shower or applying heat. Could my tight muscles be linked to a Vata imbalance? Does Ayurveda offer any herbal treatments or external therapies to naturally relax muscles and improve mobility? I have read that Mahanarayan Oil, Dashmool, and Guggulu are beneficial for reducing muscle stiffness, improving blood circulation, and promoting natural relaxation—would these help in relieving chronic muscle tightness? Are there any Ayurvedic massage techniques, herbal remedies, or yoga postures that can help in soothing tense muscles and preventing spasms? Since I prefer natural pain relief methods, I am looking for Ayurvedic treatments that can ease muscle stiffness, improve flexibility, and restore movement naturally. Please provide detailed Ayurvedic insights on muscle relaxers, their effects, and Ayurvedic approaches to muscle relaxation.
