Doctors' responses
Diffuse thickening of the median nerve, a condition like neuritis, often arises from factors like imbalances in the Vata dosha. To manage this condition through Ayurveda, you can consider a few steps. First, focus on balancing your Vata dosha by incorporating grounding and warming foods into your diet. Include foods that are moist, cooked, and oleaginous such as ghee, warm milk, nuts, soups, and stews. Avoid dry, cold, and raw foods.
Abhyanga, or oil massage, can be very beneficial. Use warm sesame oil, known for its Vata-pacifying qualities, and apply it gently to the affected arm. Massage for about 15-20 minutes daily which can help soothe nerve inflammation and enhance circulation. After massage, a warm compress can be applied to aid absorption of the oil and further relieve pain. This practice promotes circulation, eases stiffness and may reduce inflammation over time.
Herbs such as Ashwagandha and Bala (Sida cordifolia) might also support healing. Ashwagandha, taken in powder form with warm milk, can strengthen the nervous system, while Bala oil can be applied locally for its nourishing effects. Take Ashwagandha powder (1 teaspoon) mixed with warm milk once in the morning.
Additionally, consider techniques like Shirodhara or Panchakarma therapies performed by skilled practitioners can be helpful for more holistic treatment. It often involves detoxification to clear the channels, possibly bring relief from chronic conditions.
Make sure your daily routine is steady and calming. Emphasize regular sleeping patterns, gentle exercises like yoga, and sufficient rest - crucial for Vata balance. Consistency is key, but if symptoms persist or worsen, consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic physician is advisable. These strategies may not replace the treatment provided by a conventional doctor, particularly if you require immediate medical attention.
