Hi Thanu,

Thank you for sharing. 1. Can you describe the level of pain you’re experiencing now compared to before, and if certain movements or positions worsen the pain? 2. Also, how is your posture and activity level throughout the day? It’s important to combine Ayurvedic treatment with gentle strengthening exercises, proper posture, and regular stretching to support the recovery of your spine.

Managing and healing a disc bulge, like the one you’ve described at L5 S1, can be quite challenging, but it’s encouraging to hear you’ve found some relief with Ayurveda. Since things are improving, albeit gradually, a continued, structured approach can enhance your progress. Remember, healing from a disc bulge is often a slow journey, but there are specific Ayurvedic strategies that might help support and sustain your recovery.

Firstly, let’s look at lifestyle changes. Ensuring you have appropriate rest and avoiding over-strain is crucial. Try to avoid heavy lifting, sudden twisting movements, or sitting for too long. Incorporating gentle movements like those found in specialized yoga practices can greatly benefit your back – poses such as Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Shalabhasana (Locust Pose) can strengthen and support the spine, but should be done only if they don’t increase pain or discomfort.

In terms of diet, emphasizing foods that pacify Vata dosha, as it’s often aggravated in disc-related issues, can help. Favor warm, moist, and slightly oily foods such as cooked grains, steamed vegetables, and soups. Consider integrating herbs like Ashwagandha and Guggul, known for their restorative properties, but it’s best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for exact dosing.

Therapeutic treatments like Panchakarma might offer further relief. In particular, Kati Basti – which involves applying a warm herbal oil reservoir over the affected area on your back – can provide soothing heat and support healing. If you’ve yet to try these, speak to an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can guide their application.

Also, maintaining a regular sleep pattern and managing stress levels can promote better healing. Practices such as meditation and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can provide mental relaxation, which is particularly important, as stress is known to affect back pain.

Continue monitoring your progress and, if needed, consult with health professionals, both Ayurvedic and conventional, to adjust treatments. It’s about finding a balance that’s right for you, so patience and persistence are key. Each step you take, no matter how small it seems, contributes to your overall recovery and well-being.
