Neuropathy Ayurveda - #2865

Anonymously

My father has been dealing with peripheral neuropathy for over a year now, with symptoms like numbness, tingling, and occasional pain in his feet. Conventional treatments haven’t provided much relief, so we’re exploring neuropathy Ayurveda remedies as a natural approach. I’d like to know how Ayurveda addresses nerve damage and whether it’s effective for long-term relief. Does neuropathy Ayurveda focus on improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, or repairing nerve damage? I’ve read that herbs like Ashwagandha, Bala, and Shatavari are beneficial for nerve health—are these part of Ayurvedic treatments for neuropathy? Also, does Ayurveda recommend specific therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) or Basti (enema) for managing neuropathy symptoms? Are there dietary or lifestyle changes that can complement neuropathy Ayurveda treatments? For example, should certain foods or exercises be included to improve nerve function? Lastly, if anyone has managed neuropathy with Ayurveda, I’d appreciate hearing your experience and how effective it was.

Ayurveda addresses peripheral neuropathy by balancing Vata dosha, which governs the nervous system. Treatment focuses on improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting nerve repair using herbs like Ashwagandha (nerve repair), Bala (nerve strength), and Shatavari (anti-inflammatory). Therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage with medicated oils like Mahanarayan or Dhanwantharam) and Basti (herbal enema) are highly effective. Dietary changes include warm, easy-to-digest foods, ghee (nervine tonic), and anti-inflammatory spices (turmeric, ginger). Gentle yoga and Pranayama improve circulation and reduce stress. Consistency in Ayurvedic remedies, lifestyle modifications, and therapies can offer long-term relief for neuropathy symptoms.
