HELLO,

You’re dealing with two problems that often reinforce each other

1) CHRONIC SHOULDER AND BACK PAIN -Long term stiffness, aching, or nerve related pain means your body’s vata dosha (the energy that controls movement, nerves and dryness) has become imbalanaced -over time, vata tends to “settle” in the spine and joints, drying and weakening the tissue -pain, cracking, stiffness, and tiredness are classic signs of excess vata

2) CHRONIC BRONCHITIS -Repeated cough, phlegm, and chest congestion come from Kapha dosha buildup in the lungs, mixed with disturbed vata that causes repeated irritation and dryness of the airways -when kapha (mucus, heaviness) blocks the air passages and vata tried to move through, coughing , wheezing and fatigue appear

Both conditions share a vata-kapha disorder -vata-> causes pain, stiffness and irregular breathing -kapha-> causes mucus, heaviness and sluggishness If ignored, this imbalance draws strength , weakens immunity, and keeps both pain and respiratory symptoms recurring

TREATMENT GOALS -remove toxins from joints and lungs -balane vata and kapha through warmth, lubricaiton, and light digestion -relieve pain and inflammation in muscles and units -stengthen lungs and immunity so bronchitis doesnt return -rejuvenate tissues for long term stability

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) OIL MASSAGE= MAHANARAYAN TAILA= slightly warmed =nourishes nerves, improves ciruclation, reduces vata

2) STEAM THERAPY= after oil massage mild steam will opens locked channels, removes stiffness

3) LOCAL PASTE= eranda chrurna + rasnadi churna paste = reduces inflamamtion and swelling

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

STAGE 1 = DIGESTIVE AND DETOX PHASE

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey twice daily before meals for 7 days =improves digestion, melts kapha

2) MILD PURGATION= with TRIVRIT LEHYA= 1 tsp early morning for 2-3 days =cleans liver-intestine-kapha toxins

STAGE 2- PACIFYING PHASE = AFTER 7 DAYS START THIS

1) SHITOPALADI + TALISADI + YAHSTIMADHU CHURNA= mix equal and take 1 tsp twice daily afte rmeals with honey for 3 months = clears, mucus, soothes airways

2) YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months =relieves chronic joint/muscle pain

3) AGASTYA RASAYANA= 1 tsp every morning for 6 months =strengthens lungs and immunity

4) RASNASAPTAKAM KASHAYA= 1 tsp with warm water twice daily before meals for 3 months =tones muscles, calms nerves

5) CHYAWAPRASHA= 1 tsp daily morning =genetal tonic, for respiratory strength

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -wake early before 6 am for clean air and mild exercise -apply warm sesame oil to body before bath -keep body warm and avoid direct cold air -rest adequately but avoid prolonged sitting

DIET -warm, light meals= moong dal soup, khichdi, steamed veggoes -use spices that balance vata-kapha, ginger, black pepper, turmeric, cumin, ajwain -1 tsp cow’s ghee daily for internal lubrication -herbal teas with tulsi ,pippali and licorice

AVOID -cold drinks, ice cream , curd especially at night -excess fried or heavy oily food -white sugar and refined flour -smoking, alcohol and exposure to dust or cold air

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Bhujangasana= opens chest, strengthens back -setu bandhasana= relieves spinal stiffness -marjariasana= improves flexibility -anulom vilom= Balances Vata and kapha, calms mind -bhramari= soothes lungs and nerves -kapalbhati= clears mucus and energises lungs

SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Ginger tulsi honey tea= twice daily -Turmericmilk at night reduces inflamamtion -steam inhalation= with ajwain. seeds or eucalyptus oil once daly for mucus relief -warm compress= on back/shoulder with salt pouch for stiffness -castor oil 1 tsp at bedtime once wekkly- gentle vata cleansing

Chronic pain and bronchitis need patience and consisistency the goal isn’t just symptoms releif but restoring balance, strength and immunity Combine Ayurveda with gentle exercise, mindful breathing and modern monitoring With in 6-12 weeks, you should notice lighter breathing, reduces stiffness, and better enengy if your maintain the routine

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS. MIGHT BE HELPFUL

For chronic pain in the shoulder and back, Ayurveda suggests looking into potential Vata dosha imbalances. To bring Vata into a balanced state, incorporating a daily routine with warm, grounding practices can be helpful. Abhyanga, or self-massage with warmed sesame oil, performed daily or at least three times a week, can nourish the tissues and calm the Vata dosha. Apply the oil in circular motions over the joints and long strokes on the limbs and spine. After massage, a warm bath can be soothing and aid in absorbing the oil.

Dietary-wise, focus on warm, moist, and slightly oily foods, avoiding dry, raw, and cold foods. Incorporate spices like ginger, cinnamon, and cumin into your meals. These spices support digestion and also enhance circulation, which may help in pain reduction.

For chronic bronchitis, Ayurvedic texts advise supporting the respiratory system through dietary and lifestyle changes to enhance Kapha dosha balance. Drinking warm herbal teas made from tulsi (holy basil) or licorice root can help, as these herbs are traditionally used to sooth respiratory issues. Consider taking steam inhalation with a drop of eucalyptus oil to clear nasal pathways.

It might also be worth considering pranayama exercises like Anulom Vilom for enhancing lung capacity and breathing efficiency. Practicing these breathing exercises daily for about 10-15 minutes can help to clear the respiratory system.

If you can find an experienced practitioner, they may recommend Panchakarma—a detoxification treatment tailored for your specific condition—which can offer more targeted relief. However, if any symptoms exacerbate or you experience significant discomfort or acute pain, it is important to seek immediate medical help to rule out any serious underlying conditions. It’s crucial to approach these solutions in a way that fits within your current lifestyle and ensures overall well-being.
