Turmeric:
Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Dosage: ½ to 1 teaspoon with warm milk daily.
Guggul:

Dosage: 1-2 tablets twice daily.
2. External Ayurvedic Treatments:
Basti Therapy:
A Panchakarma treatment to relieve pain and improve circulation in sciatica.
Abhyanga (Oil Massage):
Use Mahanarayan oil or Sesame oil to massage the back and legs for pain relief.
Kati Vasti:
Medicated oil retention over the lower back to relieve pain and stiffness.
3. Diet and Lifestyle:

Yoga and Pranayama can improve mobility and reduce pain.
Proper posture and rest are important to avoid strain on the back.
4. Consult an Ayurvedic Doctor:

Hey, it sounds like your mom's dealing with quite a tough time with the sciatic nerve acting up. Sciatica can be real painful, and when it gets to the point of affecting walking or standing, it really needs attention. Ayurveda might be able to offer some comfort, though I'd always say stay in touch with her doctors too.
First, with Ayurveda, it's all about balance, right. Her issue—sciatica—it falls under aggravated Vata dosha. This dosha, when it's out of whack, can lead to the kind of nerve pain your mom is facing. We should aim to calm and balance Vata.
Start with her diet. Vata is dry and cold by nature, so warming, nourishing foods could help. Consider having her incorporate cooked veggies, grains like rice and oats, along with warming spices like ginger and cinnamon. Sesame oil is fantastic for Vata calming so maybe cooking with it or a light massage with warm sesame oil could be soothing for her nerves.
Speaking of oil, an Ayurvedic massage, or Abhyanga, using warm sesame or Mahanarayan oil might offer her some relief. Gently massage her back and legs, focusing areas where the nerve discomfort travels.
Activity-wise, gentle yoga asanas like Bhujangasana (Cobra) or Shalabhasana (Locust) can help stretch and strengthen the back and reduce tightness, but only if her pain allows. Steer clear from anything too intense that could aggravate her situation further.
For supporting Vata, let her have a routine—waking, meals, and rest should be consistent. Warm baths with Epsom salts also help ease tension in the muscles.
But look, if you feel her condition is worsening or having any red flags like severe numbness, extreme weakness, or loss of bowel or bladder function, please prioritize a medical consultation ASAP. Those symptoms could be signs of something more serious. Stay safe!
