HELLO SHAILDEEP SINGH,

You’re dealing with an L5-S1 disc bulge and right-side nerve root compression, which is causing sciatica pain. At 19 , it’s understandable that you want to avoid surgery- and the good news is, many people recover without it through. a combination of yoga therapy, lifestyle changes and supportive care.

IMPORTANT FIRST- WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR before starting any routine, please make sure:- -there is no progressive weakness in your legs or foot drop -you can still control your bladder and bowel -pain is not severely worsening or disturbing sleep every night. If any of these happen- seek immediate medical attention

A disc bulge at L5-S1 often presses on the sciatic nerve, especially the S1 nerve root, causing -pain radiating from lower back->buttock->thigh->calf->foot(right side) -numbness or tingling -muscle tightness and weakness

YOGA THERAPY APPROACH STEP 1- GENTLE PHASE(reduce pain and nerve irritation) 1)MAKARASANA(crocodile pose)- 5 mins -lie on your stomach, arms folded under head -this relaxes spine and reduces pressure

2)BHUJANGASANA(cobra pose-modified)- 5-8 reps -lie face down, keep hands near shoulders, lift chest slightly- only partial extension -helps create space at L5-S1

3)ARDHA SHALABHASANA(half locust pose)- 5 reps -gently lift one leg(not both) 6-12 inches off the floor -strengthens back without pressure

4)SETU BANDHASANA(bridge pose)- 5 reps, 10 sec hold -strengthen glutes and lumbar support

5)PELVIC TILTS(dynamic)- 10 reps -while lying down with knees bent, gently tilt pelvis upward and back

AVOID -forward bending(paschimottanasana, uttanasana) -deep twists or seated forward poses -long sitting without support

STEP 2:- STRENGTHENING PHASE(ONCE PAIN REDUCES)

1)CAT–COW POSE(MARJARIASANA-BITILASANA)- 10 slow reps -improves spinal mobility safely

2)UTKATASANA(CHAIR POSE-WALL SUPPORT IF NEEDED) -Strengthen thighs, core and back

3)TADASANA+BACK STRETCH(UPWARD STRETCH) -improves posture and decompression

4)PLANK(FOREARM OR HALF-PLANK)- 10-30 SECS -core strength to stabilise spine

AYURVEDIC MEDICINES PLANNED FOR YOU

1)TRAYODASHANG GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after food for 3 months =nerve pain relief (sciatica), supports joints, spine and nerve health

2)MAHAYOGARAJ GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after food for 2 months =deep tissue detoxifier, strengthen bones and nerves

3)DASHMOOLA KASHAYA- 20 ml with equal water twice daily before food for 3 months =anti-inflammatory, helps vata pacification and muscle pain

4)ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp daily at bedtime with warm milk for 3 months =strengthens nerves and muscles , reduces stress and improves recovery

5)RASNADI GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 2 months =excellent for joint pain, stiffness , vata shamak -balances nerve irrtiation

6)EKANGVEER RAS- 1 tab twice daily for 1 month only =specifically for sciatica, neuralgia

WHY THESE MEDICINES ARE CHOSEN FOR YOU since your condition involves -nerve root compression-sciatica -disc bulge-degenerative or injury-related -chronic vata imbalance- pain, dryness and nerve issues)

The above combo: -reduces inflammation around the nerve root -promotes nerve regenration -improves disc hydration and spine health -releievs pain and muscle stiffness

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm,cooked food- khichdi, dal rice, vegetables soups -healthy fats- ghee 1 tsp/day, sesame oil, almonds(soaked) -root vegetables- sweet potato, carrot, beetroot -moong dal(split green gram)-light protein rich -spices-ginger,turmeric,cumin, ajwain -milk+ashwagandha

HYDRATION- 3L daily-warm water

AVOID -cold, raw foods- salads, cold milk, iced drinks -dry processed foods- chips, biscuits, popcorn -heavy to digest foods- curd at night, fired foods, red meat -gas forming vegetables- cabbages, cauliflower , rajma, chana -caffeine and smoking- tea/coffee, excess smoking -sugar and refined carbs- cakes, maida, soft drinks

GENERAL RECOVERY TIPS DO’S -sleep on firm mattress with knees slightly bent -walk regularly-short, frequent walks -stay hydrated and warm -use heat therapy(hot water bag) on low back

AVOID -sitting for long hours-use cushion support -running/jumping/gym weights until cleared -cold exposure or skipping meals

RECOVERY TIME -with yoga+medicies , people often feel 50-70% better in 2-3 months -nerve healing can take 3-6 months so be consistent and patient

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Along with some medicines and exercises you can improve your condition.

1. Rasnasaptakam kashayam 15 ml+ 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food.

2. Lumbaton plus capsule 1-0-1 after food.

3. Dhanwantaram tailam+ sahacharadi tailam for external application.

Avoid lifting heavy objects. Sit with a lumbar support. Take a break every 30 minutes. Avoid stomach sleeping.

Start with the leg raise excercise lying on the floor. Then do bhujangasana. It strengthens lower back muscles and also promote better spinal posture. After 2 weeks you can try suryanamaskara.

Hii Shaildeep I understand the pain you’re going through at this age, but don’t worry there’re a few lifestyle change that can keep your issue in check - Posture is very important, sit with back upright (you can use support) and avoid sitting in awkward postures - Forward bending is your enemy and backwardis good for you(I’ll mention those below), use your knees instead for example: If you’ve to pick something up from ground, make it a habit to sit on your knees and lift up. - Keep your gut health in check - Drink buffalo milk if you can

Yoga that you can do daily with minimum time needed: - Bhujangasana - Dhanurasana - Makarasna - Chakrasana - Matsyasana You can find the accurate way of doing these online

Additionally please take: - Tablet Lakshadi guggulu 1-0-1 - Tablet Yogaraj guggulu 1-0-1 both after food (preferably after a gap of an hour) with normal or luke warm water

Avoid curds, whey protein, junk, fried and spiced food

Hope to hear about your better health soon.

Dealing with disc bulge at L5-S1 and associated sciatica pain is understandably challenging, especially at your young age. While it’s good to aim for avoiding surgery, it’s essential to approach your healing carefully. Ayurveda emphasizes on balancing your body’s doshas and enhancing your body’s natural capability to heal.

Firstly, managing your Vata dosha might be crucial because an aggravated Vata can contribute to nerve and spine related issues. Diet-wise, warm, nourishing, and easily digestible foods can help pacify Vata. Prefer cooked vegetables, warm soups, and use spices like ginger and turmeric for their anti-inflammatory benefits. Avoid cold and raw foods as they might exacerbate Vata imbalance.

Regular but gentle exercises can be beneficial. Think of exercises that don’t strain your back much. Simple yoga asanas like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose) can be gently incorporated. But be cautious, don’t push too hard, especially with twisting or forward-bending poses. Practicing these under a trained professional is recommended, so that you don’t exacerbate the condition.

Abhyanga, which involves self-massage with warm sesame oil can help nourish the tissues and enhance blood circulation to the affected area. Make it a routine, massaging gently in the direction of your heart before a warm shower.

Additionally, hot compress may promote relief from pain. Using a hot pack on the affected area can offer soothing comfort and reduce inflammation.

Do not underestimate the power of calming your mind. Regular practice of Pranayama, specifically Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can help manage stress and promote healing by balancing your energy channels.

It’s crucial to keep good posture during activities and rest adequately. Sleep on a firm mattress and avoid sitting for long periods. Elevate your legs slightly when resting to help alleviate nerve pressure.

Consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal formulation like Ashwagandha or Gugglu preparations that can support your recovery. However, always consult with health professionals, especially if pain persists or worsens. Surgery isn’t always inevitable, but safety is paramount.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

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. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

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. Ankit Khandelwal
I am practicing Ayurveda since 3 years now, and tbh even though that number looks small on paper—it sure feels way more intense when you think of the daily exposure to different conditions, people, energies. I focus mainly on holistic wellness, with a strong bend toward balancing the body-mind equation. Sometimes ppl ask if I only give herbs but truthfully it’s more about understanding the why behind the illness... not just the what. My work usually involve personalized treatment planning, where I mix classical Ayurvedic concepts—like dosha analysis, ahara-vihara (diet & lifestyle), and detox via Panchakarma—based on how the person is living right now. That dynamic bit matters. One patient with acidity might need total food overhaul. Another? Just better sleep and breath practices. I learnt to not jump into “fixing” unless I’m hearing fully. The past 3 years taught me to observe subtle signs more deeply. Like the small fatigue before full-blown fatigue. I don’t claim big breakthroughs, but I’ve seen lives shift—chronic migraines fading, IBS calming down, periods regularising, skin healing slowly from inside-out. And that feels huge. Every day kinda grows me. Whether it’s a simple consultation, or longer therapies, I try to keep things real, rooted, and not rushed. And yes there’s still lot to explore. But I’m in this for the long run and I want ppl to know that healing doesn’t mean perfection—it just means balance, awareness, and the willingness to start.

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. Arun Desai
I am Dr. Arun Desai, working in Ayurveda for 19+ years now, both online and offline. My clinic, Ayur Sanjivani, is at #44 B 1, Opp Adarsh Laundry, beside Tej Residency, near Kavalemath Somwaar Peth Cross in Tilakwadi, Belgaum – bit of a long address but patients seem to find it just fine. Over time I’ve learned that people today want relief fast but still safe and lasting. That’s where I mix the depth of classical Ayurveda with practical tweaks to suit this fast moving lifestyle. I don’t like giving something that just masks a symptom – I want to get to the root cause whenever possible. At the clinic, I try to keep things warm and easy to talk, not a stiff doctor’s table vibe. Whether it’s diagnosis, a Panchakarma session, or simple counseling, I want patients to feel they can ask anything, even small doubts. Education matters too – when someone understands why a certain diet or lifestyle change is needed, they actually follow it better. Treatments may include herbal formulations, diet charts, yoga routines, exercise plans, detox, anti-stress work – all depending on their prakruti and condition. Over the years, I’ve treated people from many walks of life – each case different, which keeps me learning. Some come for joint pain, some for skin problems, others for lifestyle disorders like diabetes or high BP. I still follow authentic Ayurvedic principles but adapt them so they work in today’s reality. And yes, I’m always updating my knowledge, making sure the practice stays ethical and effective, because for me, Ayurveda isn’t just treatment – it’s a way to help someone rebuild their health from inside out.

I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with over 28 years of clinical experience dedicated to the principles and practice of authentic Ayurvedic medicine. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of treating more than 100,000 patients through both in-person consultations and online platforms. My approach is deeply rooted in classical Ayurvedic diagnostics—such as Nadi Pariksha (pulse examination), Roga-Rogi Pariksha (patient and disease evaluation), and a personalized assessment of prakriti (body constitution). Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of health conditions across all age groups—from acute infections and digestive issues to chronic and lifestyle disorders such as arthritis, diabetes, respiratory ailments, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. I place strong emphasis on individualized care, combining herbal formulations, Panchakarma detox therapies, and dietary and lifestyle guidance to ensure long-term healing and disease prevention. My extensive experience also includes addressing complex, chronic illnesses that require a deep understanding of both the pathology and the patient’s overall constitution. I have worked with patients who had previously struggled with little success in other systems of medicine, and have guided many toward sustainable recovery and improved quality of life. Whether treating elderly patients with degenerative disorders or young adults facing hormonal or metabolic challenges, I strive to offer care that is compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence-informed. My goal is to empower patients with Ayurvedic wisdom so they can take an active role in their healing journey. I continue to remain updated with the evolving landscape of integrative health and value the importance of patient education, ethical practice, and consistent follow-up. For me, Ayurveda is not just a profession, but a lifelong commitment to restoring balance and promoting well-being, one patient at a time.

Dr. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.
