Prescription:
1. Mahayograj Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily
2. Charak Chropaxe Tablet – 1 tablet twice daily
3. Ekangveer Ras – 1 tablet twice daily
4. Avipattikar Powder – ½ teaspoon with lukewarm water
5. Mahanarayan + Maha Vishgarbh Tail – Warm oil massage on the back

Following this medication regimen may provide relief. However, for a more customized treatment plan, I would need to review your MRI report to assess the location and severity of the condition.

In Ayurveda Vata dosha is causing this if we talk in general, leading to asthi kshaya. This complain increases in pre and post menopausal age. Since physiotherapy hasn’t shown much improvement in 15 days, you might need a combination of Ayurvedic treatments, lifestyle adjustments, and medical interventions for better relief. Panchakarma therapy shall show great results, Panchakarma Therapies like Kati Basti – Warm medicated oil therapy over the lower back to relieve pain and strengthen the spine.

Abhyanga with medicated oil will help in your pain,and other complains Sleeping Position:

Avoid sleeping on soft beds.

Try lying flat on your back with a pillow under your knees or sleeping sideways with a pillow between your legs. * Warm compress in the morning for stiffness.

But if u go for panchakarma treatment that will be more beneficial and pain relief during treatment time only

Slip disc, or herniated disc, can be quite a discomfort, affecting daily activities and mobility. First, let’s consider your current treatment of physiotherapy, which is important in managing your condition. Be patient as these types of therapies can take some time for noticeable improvements, often more than a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile, from an Ayurvedic perspective, focusing on strengthening your body’s natural balance and reducing inflammation can be beneficial. It’s essential to determine if there is a dosha imbalance. Typically, slip disc conditions tend to involve an increase in Vata dosha due to its connection to movement and nervous system functions. When Vata is aggravated, it can cause dryness and lack of lubrication, which might affect the spine. Thus, soothing this imbalance might relieve symptoms.

I would suggest incorporating grounding and Vata-pacifying practices, such as warm, nourishing foods—think of cooked grains like rice or oats, and warm soups infused with turmeric and ginger, both of which having anti-inflammatory properties. Add a bit of ghee (clarified butter) to your meals since it’s nourishing and can help lubricate the joints.

Maintaining a regular daily routine, going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, can also stabilize Vata. Gentle yoga asanas, specifically cat-cow stretches and Cobra pose, can help in subtle mobilization and strengthening.

Ayurvedic massage with a sesame oil can be comforting. Warm the oil slightly and, before bath, massage gently on the back and leg. These help increase circulation and provide relief. Don’t push through pain if it arises.

In case pain persists or exacerbates, it is crucial to consult a specialist for further evaluation as sometimes surgical interventions might be required. Ayurveda can complement but not replace necessary medical procedures. So keep your communication open with your healthcare provider while exploring these natural interventions.

Dr. Isha Bhardwaj
I am someone who kinda learned early that medicine isn’t just about protocols or pills—like, it’s more about people, right? I did my BAMS with proper grounding in both classical Ayurveda and also the basics of modern med, which honestly helped me see both sides better. During internship, I got to work 6 months at Civil Hospital Sonipat—very clinical, very fast paced—and the other 6 at our own Ayurvedic hospital in the college. That mix showed me how blending traditional and integrative care isn't just theory, it actually works with real patients. After that I joined Kbir Wellness, an Ayurvedic aushdhalaya setup, where I dived into Naadi Pariksha—like really deep. It’s weird how much you can tell from pulse if you just listen right?? Doing regular consultations there sharpened my sense of prakriti, vikriti and how doshas show up subtle first. I used classical Ayurvedic texts to shape treatment plans, but always kept the patient’s routine, mental space and capacity in mind. Also I was part of some health camps around Karnal and Panipat—especially in govt schools and remote areas. That part really stays with me. You get to help ppl who dont usually have access to consistent care, and you start valuing simple awareness more than anything. I kinda think prevention should be a bigger focus in Ayurveda, like we keep talking about root cause but don’t always reach people before it gets worse. My whole method is pretty much built around that—root-cause treatment, yes, but also guiding patients on how to live with their body instead of fighting symptoms all the time. I rely a lot on traditional diagnostics like Naadi, but I mix that with practical therapies they can actually follow. No point in giving hard-to-do regimens if someone’s already overwhelmed. I keep it flexible. Most of my plans include dietary changes, natural formulations, lifestyle corrections and sometimes breathwork, daily rhythms and all that. I’m not here to just “treat illness”—what I really aim for is helping someone feel like they’ve got a handle on their own health again. That shift from just surviving to kinda thriving... that’s what I look for in every case.

Dr. Deepali Goswami
I am Dr. Deepali Goswami, BAMS graduate n working mainly around women's health. Right now m running my own clinic where i treat all kind of gyne problems—from irregular periods to PCOD, white discharge, fertility-related issues, menopausal symptoms n lot more that affects everyday life of females. I usually try to keep the language simple while dealing with patients cause honestly half of them come already confused or like really scared of what's happening inside their body... and if I use too much technical terms it just make it worse. I’ve been practicing in this space for couple of years now—don’t remember the exact month, maybe two or three year back? but anyway, what matters is I’ve seen how many of these problems get ignored till they turn serious. That’s something I feel strongly about. My goal is to help women understand their symptoms early and explain how Ayurveda can help gently but properly, whether it’s hormonal stuff or pain or cycle issues. I use classic Ayurvedic concepts like dosha analysis, ritucharya, n yoni vyapad chikitsa wherever it fits, but sometimes modern lifestyle really needs to be factored in too. Like if someone working night shift, no point telling them to wake up at 5am and do abhyanga daily—it won’t work. I’m practical about it. Anyway, I try my best to create a space where women feel heard. Lot of them said nobody actually explained them what’s going on before. And that’s like the saddest part. I feel my biggest strength is really just listening n tailoring the treatment to her routine, diet n stress pattern. Some cases are harder of course... things don’t always go fast, esp when it’s been neglected for yrs. But then Ayurveda’s not magic. It takes a little time—but results feel real n lasting when done right.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Bhakti Hiteshbhai Kava
I am someone who's trying to grow deeper into Ayurvedic practice through real hands-on work, not just books n theory. I started off at Goenka Hospital for 6 months—felt like a proper base where I saw a mix of OPD stuff and chronic cases too. Learned how day-to-day clinical flow works... some days were hectic honestly but that taught me a lot. Then did another 6 months at PHC in Talgajarda. That’s a primary health setup, and yeah, here the crowd n concerns were totally different. Mostly rural patients, simple complaints on the surface but often hiding bigger underlying dosha imbalances. I had to think beyond the textbook—like listening more, observing things Ayurveda-style. Now I’m working as an Ayurvedic Consultant at Mahuva. This place is where I feel most grounded so far. People come in with lifestyle diseases, skin issues, stress burnout type things… and I try to go to the root—whether it's wrong ahar-vihar or blocked agni or maybe suppressed emotions showing on skin. I use a combo of Rasayana, simple Panchakarma when needed, plus a lot of talking—counseling is underrated in Ayurveda but sooo useful. Not every case goes perfect of course. There are slip-ups, and I'm still figuring out better ways to balance classic treatment lines with how people live today. But each patient pushes me to be more present, more tuned into the wisdom of our system. And that’s where I want to keep learning.. through real-life practice.
