Doctors’ responses

Since you’ve already taken Ayurvedic treatment for 1.5 months and the severe pain has reduced, but you’re still struggling with daily activities, you need a combination of herbal support, external therapies, and lifestyle modifications for long-term relief. Ayurvedic Approach for L5-S1 Disc Bulge & Pain Management 1. Strengthen the Spine & Reduce Inflammation • Trayodashang Guggulu – 1 tablets twice daily before food with lukewarm water to strengthen nerves and reduce pain. • Peedantak Vati (Patanjali) – 1 tablet twice daily after food to relieve muscular pain and stiffness. • Dashmool Kwath – 20 ml twice daily for nerve and muscle relaxation. • Epsom Salt Bath – Soak in warm water with Epsom salt and rock salt for about 10 minutes Avoid forward bending & heavy lifting. Sleep on a firm mattress with a pillow under the knees (for spinal support). Do gentle yoga poses like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose), Shalabhasana (Locust Pose), and Makarasana (Crocodile Pose) to strengthen your spine. Practice Makarasana (Crocodile Pose) for 5 minutes daily—it relaxes the lower back. Use a hot compress or castor oil pack at night for pain relief. If the pain worsens, causes numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

Hello Thanuja, It’s good to hear that your severe pain has improved with Ayurvedic treatment, but I understand that you're still facing discomfort in daily activities. A bulging disc, especially at L5-S1, can cause ongoing stiffness and discomfort, and Ayurveda can help by balancing the Vata dosha and promoting healing of the spinal tissues. You may benefit from a combination of therapies such as Panchakarma (detoxification treatments), local herbal oils like Mahanarayan oil for massage, and strengthening exercises to support the back. Have you undergone any follow-up imaging or physical assessments since starting Ayurvedic treatment? How are your mobility, posture, and any muscle weakness in the affected area? Also, how is your diet and stress management, as both play a key role in the healing process?
