Hello Thank you for sharing your concern.I truly admire your courage in dealing with such a long-standing neurological condition. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Mahayograj Guggulu – Yes, it is beneficial but must be used judiciously. 1 tablet twice daily after food with warm water or milk. Duration: 3 months, then review.

Action: Reduces Vata and Aam, relieves stiffness, strengthens nerves and joints.

Avoid high dose for long term without supervision, as it contains metallic Bhasmas.

2. Rasnadi Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after meals. (Enhances circulation and reduces inflammation around affected nerves.)

3. Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp (3 g) with warm milk at bedtime. (Strengthens Majja Dhatu, improves nerve regeneration, and reduces fatigue.)

4. Palsineuron 1-0-1 after food ( for nourishment of nerves)

5. Ksheerabala 101 Capsule – 1 capsule twice daily with milk. (Potent neuro-regenerative Rasayana for spinal and lumbar nerve health.)

✅PANCHAKARMA AND EXTERNAL THERAPIES (Highly Recommended)

Given the chronicity of your condition, Basti (medicated enema) and local therapies are essential to achieve meaningful improvement.

👉Snehana & Swedana Daily Abhyanga (massage) with Dhanvantaram Taila over back, hips, and legs. Follow with Nadi Swedana (herbal steam) to loosen stiffness and improve circulation.

👉 Basti Chikitsa (Mainline Therapy)

Ksheerabala Taila sneha basti Niruha basti with Dashamoola Ksheera + Bala Taila ( Both help pacify Vata at the spinal level and promote nerve repair.)

👉 Local Therapies

Kati Basti – Retaining warm Dhanvantaram Taila over lower back for 30 min daily

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

✅ Include

Warm, nourishing diet with ghee, milk, moong dal, rice, and easily digestible food.

Include black gram (urad dal), sesame seeds, dates, almonds, and cow’s ghee for nerve nourishment.

Gentle physiotherapy or Ayurvedic marma exercises after Abhyanga to maintain muscle tone.

❌ Avoid

Cold, dry, or light foods (e.g., salads, crackers, fried snacks). Exposure to cold wind or sitting for long in damp environments. Daytime sleep and overexertion.

Mahayograj Guggulu can be part of your treatment, but best results come from combining it with Vata-pacifying oils, Basti therapy, and nerve-rejuvenating Rasayanas.

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO,

You have a neurological deficit caused by an old lumbar puncture injury

That likely affected the lower spinal nerves especially those that controls legs, bowel, and bladder

BECAUSE OF THIS -The nerve signals from your spinal cord to your lower limbs are partially blocked -This leads to muscle weakness, poor balance, and partial paralysis (inability to walk properly) -Bladder and bowel nerves (autonomic nerves) are also affected, causing incontinence (leakage or loss of control) -The term you used "chronic vata disorder ", in Ayurvedic terms refers to long standing vata imbalance- the vata dosha governs nerves, movement, and sensory functions

In Ayurveda, such neurological weakness is called vata vyadhi mainly involving -apana vata= controls elimination and lower body -vyana vata= controls movement and coordination -majjja dhatu kshaya= depletion of nerve tissue -mamsa Dhatus kshaya= muscle wasting

The defective lumbar puncture and subsequent nerve injury have vitiated vata in the lumbar region, leading to -numbness or loss of sensation -muscle stiffness or flaccidity -bowel/bladder disturbance -weakness below waist

TREATMENT GOALS -calm and balace vata dosha -nourish nerves and muscles -improve blood and prana flow to lower limbs -support bowel and bladder control’ -rebuild strength and confidence gradually -prevent further degeneration

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) MAHAYOGARAJ GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =rejuvenates nerves, relieves pain, strengthens muscles and joints. It also clears vata channels

2) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily for 3 months =powerful nervine tonic and adaptogen. helps nerve regeneration and combats fatigue

3) RASNASAPTAKAM KASHAYA= 20 ml + equal water twice daily before meals =anti inflammatory, relieves stiffness, nourishes vata tissues

4) KSHEERBALA 101 CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals =acts directly on nerves and spinal tissues, restores nerve sheath

5) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp daily with milk (after main therapy) =rejuvenator, improves immunity and cell regeneration

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

OIL MASSAGE= KSHEERBALA TAILA -warm full body massage for 25-30 min, followed by a warm bath = improves circulation, relaxes muscles, pacifies vata, nourishes nerves

DIET -warm, moist, nourishing, and grounding -warm milk with ghee or ashwagandha at night -soups of moong dal, lentil, and vegeetables -wheat, rice, oats- easy to digest grains -ghee, sesame oil, olive oil- all nourish vata -ripe fruits= bananas, papaya, mango -cooked vegetables= pumpkin, bottle gourd, carrot, beetroot -nuts especially soaked almonds,walnuts -herbal teas with ginger or cinnamon

AVOID -cold, dry, or stale food -raw vegetables and salads -spicy,fried,or excessively sour foods -caffeine,alcohol and smoking -fasting or skipping meals aggravate vata

LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS -DAILY ROUITNE= keep a fixed sleep and mealscheule. wake up early, light self massage with sesame oil, warm bath -EXERCISE= gentle physiotherapy and stretching avoid overexertion -POSTURE= keep back straight when sitting, avoid long sitting hours -WARMTH= protect yourself from cold weather, especially lower body -MENTAL HEALTH= practice relaxation, avoid stress, stay socially connected

YOGA ASANAS -bhujagasnaa= strengthen spinal muscles -makarasana= relaxes lower back -setu bandhasana= tones pelvic and spinal muscles -pawanmuktasana = improves bowel motility

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= Balances Vata and calms nerves -bhramari= soothing for nervous system -deep diaphragmatic breathing= improves oxygenation and relaxation

Avoid forceful breathing or kapalbhati

HOME REMEDIES -warm milk + 1 tsp ghee every night= lubricates and nourish vata -ginger + turmeric tea= reduces inflamamtion and stiffness -castor oil 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime once weekly= mild internal lunrication for vata regulation -warm water soaks for feet and lower back- improve circulation -regular self massage with sesame oil

Your condition is chronic but partially reversible with suitable effort -Nerve tissues regenerate very slowly, but consistent ayurvedic and physiotherapeutic care can improve funtion and reduce dependency. -Expect gradual progress over month, not days- improvement inlet strength, sensation, and bladder control may appear after 3-6 months

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

For someone experiencing chronic Vata imbalances influencing the lower lumbar region, Mahayograj Guggulu could offer some support though a personalized approach is crucial. Mahayograj Guggulu is traditionally used to pacify Vata dosha, and might help in improving your condition if applied correctly. However, it’s essential to approach this with caution, considering your health status.

The typical dose of Mahayograj Guggulu is often 1-2 tablets, taken two to three times a day, following meals. It’s advisable to start with the lower dosage to see how your body responds. Consulting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner who can assess your individual constitution (prakriti) and current situation more precisely is highly recommended to customize this recommendation.

In addition to that, consider incorporating the following:

1. Dietary Adjustments: Emphasize warm, cooked, easy-to-digest meals – like kitchari – that are mildly spiced to balance Vata. Avoid cold, drying or raw foods as they can aggravate Vata.

2. Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Regular self-massage with warm sesame oil can help stabilize Vata and nourish the tissues. Pay special attention to the lower back and legs. This practice can help soothe the nervous system and support better mobility.

3. Ashwagandha and Shatavari: These herbs can be supportive for nervous system health and Vata balance. They are typically taken as powder or tablets. The dosages need to be personalized, so consultation with an Ayurvedic expert is ideal.

4. Gentle Yoga and Pranayama: Some easy and supervised yoga poses, along with breathing exercises, can enhance blood circulation and help in grounding Vata energy.

Regarding your bowel and bladder issues, drinking warm fluids and incorporating Triphala at bedtime can help maintain regular bowel movements. However, given the complexity of your condition involving neurological deficits, it’s prudent tp work closely with healthcare practitioners – both Ayurvedic and allopathic – to ensure an integrated appreoach to your recovery. Always check with your current medical care team before starting new treatments, especially given your existing neurological condition.
