Could you please tell me how to relieve tension pain in the calf muscles after a flight? Are there any natural remedies that might help? The pain isn’t severe — it feels like it’s from overexertion. Pls help

Hello Jake,
Thanks for sharing your concern here.
Does the pain come only after flight journey or any other time? Is there only pain or stiffness too?
In Ayurveda, pain in the calf muscles after a flight is often linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha. Sitting for long periods can make Vata agitated, leading to tension and stiffness in the muscles.
A simple remedy is to perform a warm oil massage with sesame oil. Gently massage your calves to help relax the muscles and improve blood flow. Additionally, applying a warm compress or doing light stretching can further ease the tension and help restore balance. Also regularly doing- Viparit Karani (inverted pose) can help in reducing the weakness in the lower extremity.

Since your pain is from overexertion and not severe, it’s likely due to prolonged sitting
Keep leg elevation
Gentle massage with warm coconut oil to the calves area
Stay hydrated
Ashwagandha churna 1/2 tsp with warm milk at night
If even after 2 3 days pain persists let me know

Hello Jake, In Ayurveda, this can be seen as an imbalance in Vata dosha, leading to stiffness and discomfort in the muscles. To help alleviate this, you can try gentle stretching of the calf muscles and foot rotations. Applying warm sesame oil or ginger-infused oil to the affected area can also help soothe the muscles. Do you have any history of muscle or joint issues, or any circulation problems? Have you experienced similar pain before, or is this a one-time occurrence after the flight?
