In Ayurveda, we focus on balancing Vata dosha, which governs movement, and nourishing the nervous system. Panchakarma therapies like Abhyanga (medicated oil massage) with herbal oils such as Mahanarayan Taila or Dhanwantharam Taila can help alleviate stiffness and improve circulation. Shirodhara (pouring warm medicated oil over the forehead) and Nasya (nasal administration of medicated oils) can support the nervous system and reduce symptoms related to MS. Basti (medicated enema), particularly using Ksheera Basti (milk-based enema), can nourish and strengthen the nerves and muscles. Herbs like Ashwagandha and Bala (Sida cordifolia) may be prescribed to rejuvenate the nervous system, improve muscle strength, and reduce fatigue. Guggulu-based formulations, such as Yograj Guggulu, can help reduce inflammation and support joint and muscle health. Additionally, practicing gentle yoga postures, Pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation can help improve balance, coordination, and mental clarity, contributing to better mobility. Dietary recommendations include nourishing, warm, and easily digestible foods rich in healthy fats like ghee, milk, and cooked vegetables to support tissue regeneration.

Hello, Here is a general Ayurvedic prescription for managing spinal lesions and improving mobility: 1. Panchakarma Therapies: Kati Basti: Apply warm Dhanwantharam Tailam to the lower back in a small pool for 20-30 minutes daily or as per practitioner’s advice. Abhyanga (Full-body oil massage): Massage warm Dhanwantharam Tailam or Mahanarayan Tailam all over the body for 15-20 minutes daily, followed by a warm bath. This should be done at least 3-4 times a week. Pizhichil: If accessible, undergo this therapy 2-3 times per week under supervision, as it helps with nerve function and mobility. Vasti (Medicated Enema): Administered by an Ayurvedic physician, done for 7-14 days to balance Vata and nourish spinal tissues. 2. Oral Herbal Supplements: Ashwagandha Capsules: 500 mg twice daily after meals for muscle strength and nervous system support. Mahayograj Guggulu: 1 tablet twice daily after meals to reduce inflammation and support joint health. Shallaki (Boswellia): 300-400 mg twice daily to reduce pain and inflammation. Rasna Powder: 1 teaspoon mixed with warm water or honey twice daily to relieve joint stiffness and pain. 3. Medicated Oils for External Use: Dhanwantharam Tailam or Mahanarayan Tailam: Warm and massage over the spine and affected areas daily to reduce pain and stiffness. 4. Dietary Recommendations: Follow a Pitta-Vata pacifying diet: Include calcium-rich foods like leafy greens, sesame seeds, almonds, and dairy (if tolerated). Add anti-inflammatory spices such as turmeric, ginger, cumin, and fennel. Include healthy fats such as ghee, sesame oil, and olive oil. Please check with me in a month of following this prescription.
