Do not substitute blindly without professional guidance.
With warm regards Dr.Sumi MS(Ayu)
Hello Jo Yes. In many cases, Ayurvedic medications similar to those that were given to you in India can be purchased in the UK. However, their brand names may sometimes differ depending on the supplier and the way they are labeled.
1. About Lumbact
Maybe your Ayurvedic doctor in Jaipur advised you to take some medicine to relieve pain in your lower back or sciatica.
It is highly likely that the formula he/she suggested is such that it can be found in commercially available products in Ayurveda like Lumbagest or other capsules for lower-back support.
What are some examples of the products used as a support for the back/sciatica in Ayurvedic that you may find abroad or bring in as an import?
[Kerala Ayurveda Lumbagest Capsules] –
This is an Ayurvedic proprietary formulation for back pain, sciatica and lumbar issues, traditionally made with herbs such as Nirgundi, Eranda Taila, and Simhasyadi Kwath (classic back-pain herbs).
It is sometimes marketed globally, and it is possible to ship it to the UK.
Lumbaton Capsules , AVN Lumbaton Soft Gel Capsules or Lumbaton Plus Soft Gel Capsules
– These are other Ayurvedic joint/back-support products with similar indications (strengthening back, relieving pain).
📌 Note: Lumbact specifically might be a clinic’s custom proprietary preparation — many Ayurvedic doctors use in-house or locally compounded products that don’t always match a retail brand exactly.
2. About Manaskam
The name “Manaskam” is not that much of a widely recognized as a single herbal product brand; it is mostly a clinic-specific product or a formulation that is directed at: - calming down the nerves, - getting better sleep, - supporting staying stress and Vata-imbalance, - helping nerve pain relief.
You can easily find the same or almost the same kind of products to buy in the UK such as: - Nervine/support blends which might include herbs such as Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Jatamansi, Shankhapushpi
Ayurvedic nervine formulas branded under names like Brahmi capsules, Nervine balm/tablets, or stress / nerve support blends
Sometimes they are advertised as “Ayurvedic nerve pain or nerve tonic” products.
✅Where and How to Get Them in the UK
Local Options
There are quite a few South Asian herbal stores (either Ayurvedic or Indian shops) that are spread over various UK cities and these stores are usually the places where brands like the following:
Kerala Ayurveda AVN Ayurveda Patanjali Baidyanath (imported from India)
You can also purchase various Lumbagest and other Ayurvedic capsule brands from Amazon or eBay UK.
eBay UK hosts many sellers of Kerala Ayurveda Lumbagest
Online International Shipping
Almost all the Ayurvedic shops with online stores that are located in the UK are willing to ship their products all over the world. For example, GlobalAyucare UK sometimes lists delivery of Ayurvedic products like Lumbagest with options for the UK.
It is always wise to purchase your products from reliable sources, inspecting ingredients and getting advice on the correct dosage from a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner in the UK.

🌿 Understanding the Formulations: - Lumbact: Typically prescribed for lumbar pain, sciatica, and sacroiliac joint discomfort. It often contains herbs like Sahacharadi, Rasna, Guggulu, and Eranda that reduce inflammation and support joint mobility.
- Manaskam: Usually directed at nerve calming, stress relief, and sleep support. It may include herbs like Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Jatamansi for calming the nervous system.
Because these are proprietary blends, their exact composition varies by manufacturer, and they may not be marketed under the same names outside India.
Availability in the UK: - Direct imports: Some UK-based online Ayurvedic shops import Indian formulations, but Lumbact and Manaskam are not commonly listed. - Alternatives available in UK: - Kerala Ayurveda Sahacharadi Kwath tablets – used for back pain and sciatica. - Pankajakasthuri Orthoherb tablets – marketed for joint and nerve pain. - Nerve-support Ayurvedic capsules (e.g., Brahmi, Ashwagandha blends) – available through UK herbal suppliers. - Regulation note: The UK’s MHRA regulates herbal medicines. Proprietary Ayurvedic tablets may not be licensed under their Indian names.
Lumbact and manskam both I couldn’t find as with that name it’s not available online, those might be lumbagest which is for sciatica and manasamitra vatikam for nervous system support
Regarding the availability of Lumbact and Manaskam in the UK, these specific formulations might not be directly available under the same brand names. Ayurvedic medications can sometimes be marketed under different names in various regions, depending on the manufacturer. Lumbact is typically used for musculoskeletal conditions, offering support for back pain and associated conditions, while Manaskam is often seen in formulations aimed at calming the mind and supporting nervous system health.
For similar formulations, it would be wise to contact Ayurvedic stores or practitioners within the UK who might carry or can procure analogous products. Additionally, verify if they align with traditional preparations referenced by your previous consultation. Seek personal consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure compatibility with your constitution and current health status, as they might suggest alternative preparations that suit your body’s needs.
Since your sciatica and sacroiliac joint pain has been persistent, it’s vital you integrate Ayurvedic approaches with conventional medical advice, given the potential complexity of these conditions. Ensure any Ayurvedic options discussed are cleared by a healthcare professional, especially when combining with other therapies.
Apart from herbs, lifestyle and diet adjustments play crucial roles in managing your condition. Movement and moderated exercise like gentle yoga can enhance flexibility and strengthen musculoskeletal areas. Consuming warm, easy-to-digest foods that balance Vata dosha such as cooked vegetables and whole grains, along with adequate hydration, may support your condition. Using warming spices like ginger and cumin could also aid digestion and circulation.
Should the pain remain severe or change unexpectedly, immediate consultation with a healthcare provider is mandatory, to rule out acute conditions requiring different treatment. Balancing Ayurvedic practices with regular medical oversight ensures comprehensive and safe management of your sciatica and associated pain.
These are proprietary Indian brands – not widely available in UK under exact names.
