3) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
-YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =helps reduce stiffness and inflammation
-DASHMOOLA KASAHYA= 30 ml with warm water twice daily after meals =anti-inflammatory and nerve supportive
-ASHWAGANDHA POWDER with warm milk at night- 1 tsp= for strength and pain relief

hello Subash Chugh ,
Thank you for sharing so openly. At your age and with the long history of pain, what you’re experiencing is deeply understandable — your body has been carrying discomfort for years, and now it’s asking for true healing, not just suppression through painkillers. The back pain, difficulty in walking and sitting, and past aggravated piles — all these show that your Vata dosha (which governs bones, nerves, pain, and movement) has become severely imbalanced. When painkillers stop working, it means the root problem is deeper — involving long-term tissue weakness (dhatu kshaya) and chronic inflammation (ama accumulation).
Your system needs a calming, nourishing approach to restore balance, reduce pain, and support your mobility. Let’s start by gently correcting digestion, calming vata, and nourishing your joints and nerves.
Step-by-Step Ayurvedic Treatment Plan
1. Ama Pachana – 5 days (to reduce inflammation and pain)
Hingvashtaka Churna – 1 tsp with warm water after lunch and dinner Pippalyasavam – 15 ml + 15 ml warm water twice daily after meals Sip warm water with 2-3 ajwain seeds or dry ginger pieces through the day
2. Internal Medicines (start after 5 days, continue for 3 months)
Trayodashang Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals (for nerves, back pain) Maharasnadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 15 ml warm water twice daily before meals Ashwagandhadi Lehyam – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime (for strength and pain relief) Arshoghni Vati – 2 tablets at bedtime with warm water (for old piles issue)
3. External Therapies (Daily or alternate days)
Warm oil massage (Abhyanga) on back, legs and anus region with Dhanwantharam Thailam or Mahanarayan Thailam Hot water fomentation (compress) over lower back for 10 minutes after oil massage Sitz bath with warm water + rock salt for 10 minutes after defecation (for piles support)
Lifestyle & Diet
Avoid cold, dry, and gas-forming foods (curd, raw salads, potatoes, cauliflower) Take freshly cooked warm food with 1 tsp cow ghee Do gentle Pavanamuktasana and slow back-stretching movements under guidance Use soft bedding, and avoid sitting for long periods without support
Investigations X-ray or MRI of the lower back (if not recently done) Hemoglobin, ESR, CRP (to assess inflammation) Vitamin D3, Vitamin B12 Stool occult blood (to check piles-related bleeding) Bone density test if long-term weakness persists
You’re not alone in this, and you don’t have to suffer silently. We aim not just to relieve pain, but to help you feel grounded, supported, and safe in your body again. With regular care, gentle medicines, and lifestyle support, relief is possible at any age. Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO SUBHASH,
You are 74 years old, and for the past 2 months you’ve had -severe back pain (acute, chronic) -difficulty in sitting, standing, or walking -pain spreading across the entire body -a history of piles, worsened by an injection, which might have damaged nerves or tissues
In Ayurveda, this is seen as a vata disorder- particularly vata vyadhi affecting asthi dhatu (bones), majja dhatu(nerves), and possibly causing avarana (blockages in channels)
because of age, digestion, circulation, and healing slow down. painkillers have stopped working because they suppress symptoms but dont heal the root cause.
TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata dosha (main cause of pain, dryness, degeneration) -strengthen bones and nerves -remove toxins(ama) and improves digestion -improve circulation and reduce stiffness -repair damaged tissues -reduce pain naturally and promote long term recovery -avoid dependency on painkillers

2) X-RAY LUMBOSACRAL SPINE= for alignment or degeneration

LIFESTYLE TIPS -wake up early but avoid cold exposure -use warm water for bathing -massage daily with warm oil -sit on firm, cushioned chair- not soft sofas -avoid long standing/sitting without breakes -wear wooden belt/support on back during winters or travels -avoid constipation -avoid mental stress it worsens vata
Your condition is serious but not hopeless -painkillers are temporary , ayurveda offers long term root cause healing -focus should be on correcting vata, strengthening nerves, improving digestion and circulation -combination of internal medicines, oil therapies, diet and lifestyle changes will bring relief gradually -expect improvement in 6-8 weeks with regular treatment ad even more sustained relief over 3 months
DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Given your situation of prolonged acute back pain and the previous issue with piles, it’s essential to approach this carefully and holistically. Ayurvedic principles can guide toward managing this situation safely and effectively. As you’re experiencing severe mobility issues, consider seeking immediate medical evaluation to rule out any serious conditions. Nevertheless, here are some Ayurvedic recommendations you can incorporate gradually:
Your condition may be associated with vata dosha imbalance, which can cause pain, stiffness, and discomfort. Begin by incorporating warming and nourishing foods into your diet to pacify vata, such as cooked vegetables, warm grains like rice or quinoa, and well-cooked lentils. Using spices such as ginger, cumin, and turmeric can aid digestion and reduce inflammation. Consume them as a part of your meals daily.
Gentle oil massages can be beneficial. Try using warm sesame oil for self-massage, focusing on your back and affected areas. Warm the oil slightly and apply it with gentle pressure, this can be soothing and help reduce tension. It’s advised to perform this in the morning or before a warm bath to allow the body to absorb the oil better.
Practicing pranayama (breathing exercises) such as Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) can help calm the nervous system. Perform this daily if possible, in the morning, or when you feel comfortable. About 5-10 minutes should be ample.
Try to avoid cold, wind exposure, and excessive strain, which could aggravate vata. Bundle up warmly and keep your living space warm and comfortable. Aim for regular sleep, around 7-8 hours, maintaining consistent sleep times.
A specialized formulation like Ashwagandha might support vitality and strength, aiding in recovery. However, consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner before introducing any new herbal supplements, especially given your medical history and potential interactions with medications.
Do prioritize seeking professional medical care to assess the extent of your condition, especially given your age and severity of symptoms. Getting a detailed assessment could help in tailoring safer and more effective Ayurvedic interventions promptly.
For acute back pain that’s been troubling you for two months, especially given your age and the past reaction to medical treatment, it’s essential to address both immediate symptoms and underlying causes. Pain killers aren’t a sustainable solution for such discomfort, especially when they’re losing effect.
Firstly, since your pain might involve a Pitta imbalance exacerbated by past medical interventions, focus on cooling and calming remedies. Applying a paste of sandalwood and water or aloe vera gel to the back may help reduce inflammation and soothe pain naturally. External application of Mahanarayan oil can be beneficial—massage gently upwards along your spine daily to promote warmth and circulation.
Considering your history with piles, addressing digestive health is crucial, as it impacts the Vata balance linked to joint and muscle health. Switch to a gentle, warm, and easily digestible diet. Include moong dal khichdi with ghee to aid digestion and lubricate your intestines, avoiding excessively spicy foods and stimulants like coffee and tea.
Engage in gentle supta baddha konasana (reclined bound angle pose), which can support your back and improve circulation without strain, but only if pain allows.
Finally, your condition could benefit from consultation with a Siddha or Ayurvedic practitioner in your area for therapies like Panchakarma, tailored individually. Ensure prompt medical evaluation to eliminate any serious underlying issue, given your age and persistent pain.
