hello k.navya.,
You're 23, and your symptoms clearly suggest sciatica or lumbar disc irritation especially since the pain begins in the left lower back and radiates to the right leg, worsens with activity, and reduces with rest. This means there's nerve compression or inflammation likely in the L4-L5/S1 region, even if mild.
In Ayurveda, this is often referred to as Gridhrasi – a Vata vyadhi caused by aggravated Vata dosha compressing the sciatic nerve pathway. The key is to relieve the nerve pressure, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the lower back and core gently over time.
Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks minimum):
Yogaraja Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food
Trayodashanga Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food
Dashamoola Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before meals, twice daily
Nirgundi Ras – 10 ml + water, morning and night
Maharasnadi Kadha – if kashayam not available
External Treatments (Can Be Done at Home or Ayurvedic Centre):
Abhyanga (oil massage) over back and legs using:
Mahanarayana Taila or Dhanwantaram Taila (warm it slightly)
Nadi Swedana (herbal steam or hot fomentation) after oil massage
If available, Kati Basti therapy for 7 days at a clinic gives excellent relief
Apply Eranda (Castor oil) pack on lower back once or twice a week
Pathya (What You Should Do and Eat):
Use warm water to drink and bathe
Include ghee in your meals to reduce internal dryness
Eat soft, warm food: rice, moong dal, methi, drumstick, ginger, garlic
Do gentle yoga: Bhujangasana, Makarasana, Setu Bandhasana (supervised)
Keep posture straight, avoid lifting weights, sudden twisting, sitting on floor
Apathya (What to Avoid):
Cold exposure, fridge water, curd, peas, potato, raw foods
Sleeping on very soft mattress or without pillow under knees
High impact exercises or long sitting hours
Investigations If Pain Persists:
Lumbosacral spine X-ray or MRI – if pain worsens
Vitamin D3, B12 – deficiencies can worsen nerve pain
ESR, CRP – if any swelling or inflammatory suspicion
If managed early, this can be completely reversed without surgery. Start gentle therapies and follow lifestyle correction now to avoid worsening.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care,
Regards,
Dr. Karthika

HELLO NAVYA,
You're experiencing lower back pain on the left side, with radiating pain into right leg. This kind of pain could be due to sciatica, lumbar strain, or disc-related issues (like a slipped or herniated disc). You are already taking some medications(kindly mention which) , but pain worsens with activity.
Your spine is mode of bones, discs, nerves and muscles. If any of the discs or muscles are injured or strained, it can cause pain.
-Lower back usually occurs due to
-overstrain or wrong posture
-lifting heavy weights
-long sitting hourd
- sudden twisting or bending
- lack of strength in back muscles
When the pain radiates to leg, especially right leg , it may indicate
-Sciatica= a nerve in the lower spine gets pressed
-disc prolapse-slipped disc
-muscle tightness pressing the nerve
This kind of pain in Ayurveda is mainly due to Vata dosha aggravation

5) ERANDA SNEHA= 10 ml. with warm milk at bedtime weekly once fr 4 weeks

6) BALA TAILA= 10 drops daily in water or milk twice daily after meals
=improves nerve strength and immunity
