How to reduce pain - #19143

Hello Ashutosh, Your condition suggests a Vata imbalance leading to nerve compression, spinal degeneration, and circulation issues. The pain, disc protrusion, and anxiety require a holistic Ayurvedic approach to strengthen the spine, reduce inflammation, and calm the nervous system. Do you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs or arms?Does the pain worsen in cold or after prolonged rest? Have you undergone any physiotherapy or alternative treatments? How is your digestion? Do you have constipation or bloating, which may indicate deeper Vata imbalance?

Namaste Ashutosh Ji, Your symptoms indicate multiple disc protrusions, spondylosis, and degenerative changes, leading to nerve compression and pain. Ayurveda focuses on reducing inflammation, strengthening the spine, and improving nerve health through herbal medicines, therapies, and lifestyle modifications. Ayurvedic Medicines: 1.

Mahayograj Guggulu – (1 tablet twice daily after food) 3.Dashmool Kwath – (10-15ml with warm water twice daily before meals) 4. Ashwagandha and Shatavari – (Mix ½ tsp each in warm milk before bedtime) 5. Erand Tail (Castor Oil) – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water for pain relief and detoxification. External Applications: 1. Mahanarayana Tailam / Dhanwantaram Tailam – Warm oil massage followed by mild fomentation (twice daily). 2. Kati Basti / Patra Pinda Sweda (from a Panchakarma center) – Very effective in relieving compression and pain. Diet & Lifestyle Modifications: • Avoid cold, stale, and heavy foods that aggravate Vata dosha. • Include warm, light, and nourishing foods like soups, ghee, and cooked vegetables. • Stay hydrated and consume anti-inflammatory herbs like turmeric and ginger in your diet. • Mild yoga (Bhujangasana, Makarasana) and Pranayama (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) help in pain relief and calming anxiety. • Avoid prolonged sitting or standing—change positions frequently. Duration of Treatment: Ayurvedic treatment requires 3-6 months for significant improvement, along with regular follow-ups. Panchakarma therapies like Basti and Kati Basti may be beneficial if done under expert supervision. If symptoms worsen, consult an Ayurveda specialist for a personalized approach.
