Degeneration of the spine, known in Ayurveda as “Asthi Kshaya,” demands a thoughtful approach that balances your unique constitution and lifestyle. It’s crucial to strengthen the bones and improve circulation to reduce numbness, tingling, and stiffness. Begin by focusing on your diet. Include calcium-rich foods like leafy greens (spinach, kale), sesame seeds, and almonds. These support Asthi dhatu (bone tissue). Remember to keep your digestion strong with spices like cumin, ginger, and coriander; these aid absorption of nutrients, a key factor for managing spine health.

Herbal formulations play a significant role, too. Guggulu, specifically Yograj Guggulu, is beneficial for its anti-inflammatory properties and can support joint health. Consume two tablets twice a day after meals. Ashwagandha helps in strengthening muscles and enhancing vitality. A teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder mixed with milk taken at bedtime may improve sleep quality. However, monitor your body’s reaction, as overuse may disturb digestion in some cases.

Daily oil massage (Abhyanga) with sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil can offer relief from stiffness and improve circulation. Massage gently around the spine and the affected areas of the foot. Remember, consistency is era vital, doing this regularly in the mornings can help in the long run.

Lastly, incorporate light, focused exercises or yoga such as Bhujangasana (cobra pose) or Ardha Matsyendrasana (half spinal twist). These aid in building flexibility and strength around the spine without causing strain. Make sure to practice under guidance initially. Limit heavy physical activities, prioritizing gentle stretching instead. Keep stress levels in check with meditation or Pranayama; deep breathing can calm the mind and body, aiding sleep.

Prior to starting these regimens, consider consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner. Ensure that your symptoms aren’t severe enough to require immediate conventional medical attention, especially in cases where numbness and mobility issues worsen. Always balance self-care with professional advice when facing spinal health issues, seeking a second opinion whenever necessary.

HELLO MITESH,

Spinal degeneration (sometimes called spondylosis disc degeneration, or osteoarthritis of the spine) means the small bones (vertebrae) and cushions (disc) in your backbone are slowly wearing out. -when this happens , the nerves that come out of the spine get oressed-> leading to pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, or even trouble walking -symptoms worsening at night and causing sleeplessness point to nerve irritation + aggravated vata dosha -over time, stiffness in the feet, fatigue, and disturbed sleep come because the nervous system is being over stressed

Ayurveda views this as Asthi dhatu kshaya (weakening of the bone tissue) with vata imbalance (dryness, degeneration, pain)

TREATMENT GOALS -pain railed and calming nerves -strengthening spine and supporting bone health -improving mobility and reducing stiffness -restoring sleep and calming the mind -slowing further degeneration

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1tsp with warm milk twice daily =for nerve strengthening, nerve nourishment, sleep

2) SHALLAKI CAPSULES= 500mg cap twice daily after meals with warm water =for reducing inflammation and joint pain

3) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =balances vata, helps stiffness and pain

4) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 40 ml + warm water twice daily before meals =for chronic pain and vata balance

5) TURMERIC + BLACK PEPPER= 1/2 tsp in warm milk daily =natural anti inflammatory

DURATION= 3-6 months minimum as degeneration is chronic

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) DAILY. OIL MASSAGE= with warm Mahanarayan taila massaged into the spine, legs, and feet-> reduces stiffness, nourishes nerves

2) HOT FOMENTATION = after oil massage apply gentle heat hot water bag =relieves stiffness

DIET AND LIFESTYLE -favour warm, soft, nourishing foods -khichdi, soups, cooked veggies, ghee in small amounts -include calciu,-rich natural foods= sesame seeds, almonds (soaked), ragi -Avoid dry, cold, processed, spicy, caffeinated foods- they aggravate vata -stay hydrated with warm water/herbal teas

LIFESTYLE -maintain regular sleep/wake times -avoid lifting heavy weights or sitting long without breaks -use firm but not overly hard matterss

YOGA ASANAS -marjariasana= mobilizes spine -bhujangasana= strengthen back -setu bandhasana= stabilizes spine -gentle spinal twists

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom=calms mind and vata -bhramari= excellent for sleep -avoid forceful kapalbhati in your case

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -warm milk with nutmeg powder at bedtime-> improves sleep -sesame oil foot massage before bed-> reduces numbness and calms nerves -fenugreek seeds soaked overnight and taken in morning-> strengthens joints -turmeric + warm milk-> daily for anti inflammatory support

Spinal degeneration doesn’t reverse completely, but with consistent care, it can be slowed down, pain can be controlled, sleep can return, and mobility can improve. Ayurveda’s strength is in nourishing what is weakening and calming what is aggravated

It’s a marathon, not a sprint- you’ll likely need 3-6 months of integrated care and long term lifestyle mainteinance

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Degeneration of the spine often involves imbalances in the Vata dosha, manifesting as dryness, stiffness, and weakness in the body. One effective approach is to incorporate specific Siddha-Ayurvedic remedies and lifestyle adjustments that can help manage these symptoms and promote overall spinal health. Here are a few suggestions:

First, consider using herbal oils like Dhanwantharam Thailam or Mahanarayana Thailam for Abhyanga (self-massage). Warm the oil slightly and apply it to the entire spine area and affected limbs. This should be done daily in the morning or evening to nourish the tissues and alleviate stiffness. Follow this by a warm bath to help the oil penetrate deeper into the tissues.

Incorporate Ashwagandha and Guggulu formulations, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can aid in reducing pain and stiffness. Mixing a teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder with warm milk at bedtime may help.

Diet plays a crucial role. Focus on a Vata-pacifying diet by including warm, cooked meals with good fats like ghee and avoiding cold, dry, or raw foods. Stay hydrated and prioritize foods that nourish the bone tissue (Asthi dhatu), like sesame seeds and almonds.

Consider practicing gentle yoga poses like Pawanmuktasana or Bhujangasana, supporting flexibility and reducing stiffness. Ensure you perform them under guidance if you’re unfamiliar with them.

Finally, avoid excess exposure to cold temperatures and excessive physical exertion. Prioritize rest and stress management techniques like meditation or pranayama for improving sleep and reducing restlessness.

If symptoms persist, affect your day-to-day life, or you experience other serious issues, consult a healthcare professional to ensure no immediate medical intervention is needed.
