Doctors' responses

For alleviating your back and leg spasms, consider using Mahanarayan Taila, a classical Ayurvedic oil known for its efficacy in treating musculoskeletal issues. This oil, rich in herbs like Ashwagandha and Bala, provides nourishment to the tissues and has an antispasmodic effect. Apply the oil to the affected areas by massaging gently in circular motions for about 10-15 minutes, ideally twice a day. Warm the oil slightly before application to enhance absorption and efficacy.

In addition to the topical application, focus on your diet as it plays a crucial role in managing muscle health. Incorporate Vata-pacifying foods like warm, cooked grains, soups, and stews to balance your dosha. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods which may aggravate Vata, leading to more spams. Hydration is essential; drink warm water or herbal teas like ginger or chamomile to aid digestion and provide calmness to your system.

Practicing regular, gentle stretching exercises or yoga postures like Cat-Cow stretch and Child’s pose can offer relief and improve flexibility over time. Ensure you engage in these activities cautiously, without straining yourself further. Avoid excessive physical exertion, and prioritize rest where possible.

For internal support, consider supplementing with Ashwagandha or Shatavari powder, mixed with warm milk, as these herbs strengthen muscles and promote relaxation. It’s advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any new herbs or supplements to ensure appropriateness for your individual constitution and health conditions.

If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to consult a healthcare professional, as spasms might be a sign of a more serious underlying issue. Your health and well-being are top priorities, so please seek additional medical attention if needed.
