Dr RC BAMS MS

Hello, Based on your history of cervical spondylitis for 1–6 months with neck pain, mild dizziness and nausea, and a single episode of Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) two months ago (with normal MRI & EEG and no residual memory issues), this condition in Ayurveda can be understood as Vata-predominant Greeva Sandhigata Vata, with associated Prana–Vyana Vata disturbance and mild Rakta–Majja dhatu kshaya.

Neck degeneration and muscle spasm can compromise local circulation to the head, producing dizziness and nausea. The isolated TGA episode—now resolved—suggests a temporary Prana Vata imbalance, often triggered by stress, cervical strain, or sudden circulatory fluctuation, rather than structural brain disease.

Your treatment will focus on Vata shamana, cervical stabilization, neuro-protective Rasayana, memory support, and prevention of recurrence, while continuing routine medical follow-up as advised by your neurologist.

🔎 Recommended Investigations (If not done in the last 6–12 months) 1. X-ray / MRI Cervical Spine (if not already reviewed recently) 2. Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D3 – deficiencies worsen neck pain, dizziness, cognition 3. ESR & CRP – to assess chronic inflammation 4. Lipid profile – vascular support for brain health

💊 Internal Medicines Phase 1 – 21 days (Pain relief + Vata balance + cervical inflammation control) 1. Yograj Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after meals 2. Maharasnadi Kwatha – 15 ml with 30ml of warm water at night before food 3. Dashmoola Kwatha – 15 ml with 30 ml of warm water in morning before food 4.

Phase 2 – 45 days (Neuro-protection + memory support + recurrence prevention) 1. Brahmi Ghrita – ½ tsp once daily in the morning with warm water or milk 2. Mandukaparni (Gotu Kola) Tablets – 1 tablet twice daily after meals 3. Guduchi Satva – ½ tsp with warm water in the morning 4. Smriti Sagar Ras – 1 tablet at bedtime.

🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1. Greeva Abhyanga (daily or alternate days) – Use Mahanarayana Taila or Ksheerabala Taila – Gentle massage to neck & shoulders for 10 minutes 2. Nadi Sweda / Hot fomentation – daily after oil massage Relieves stiffness, improves circulation 3. Nasya – Anu Taila or Ksheerabala 101 Avarti Taila, 2 drops/nostril – 7 days Balances Prana Vata, prevents dizziness & cognitive disturbances 4. Cervical support pillow at night Maintains proper neck alignment

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Avoid 1. Cold exposure to neck, AC directly on head/neck 2. Prolonged mobile or laptop bending posture 3. Excess tea, coffee, dry foods 4. Late nights & mental overexertion

✅ Include 1. Warm, nourishing meals 2. Ghee – 1 tsp daily 3. Milk with turmeric or nutmeg at night 4. Adequate hydration with warm water 5. Short breaks during screen work

Hello Thank​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ you for giving me such a detailed description of your problem. I completely understand that cervical pain accompanied by dizziness and a sudden episode of transient global amnesia (TGA) is very scary even when all the reports are normal.

Ayurvedic Understanding of Your Condition

From your symptoms, the condition can be explained as a combination of:

👉Cervical Spondylitis Greeva Sandhigata Vata The disease is caused by the aggravation of Vata which leads to: Neck pain and stiffness Dizziness (Bhrama) Nausea

👉Transient Global Amnesia (Single Episode) It can be related to Smriti Vibhrama because of: Unexpected Vata + Pitta disturbance Limited nourishment of Majja Dhatu (nervous tissue)

As MRI and EEG are normal and it happened only once, Ayurveda considers this as a functional and reversible condition, not a degenerative one.

Treatment Goals (Ayurvedic Approach) ✔ Pacify the aggravated Vata ✔ Nourish nerves and brain tissue ✔ Improve the blood supply to the neck ✔ Prevent recurrence ✔ Enhance memory and mental stability

AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

INTERNAL MEDICATION

👉For Cervical Spondylitis and Vata Balance 1.Yograj Guggulu 1-0-1 after food – helps both joints and nerves 2.Maharasnadi Kashayam 15ml-0-15ml + 45 ml water – relieves pain, stiffness and dizziness

👉For Memory and Nervous System Support 3.Brahmi Ghrita 1 tsp morning empty stomach followed by warm water – is very helpful for brain tissue nourishment 4 Ashwagandha capsule 1 at bed time – Strengthens Majja Dhatu and relieves anxiety

👉 Memory Improvement and Recurrence Prevention Although TGA is a single event, Ayurveda gives its Rasayana therapy great importance for recurrence prevention. Several Rasayana options will be helpful, one of them is:- Brahmi ghrita

These substantially improve: ✔ Memory consolidation ✔ Cerebral circulation ✔ Stress tolerance

DETOX & CLEANSING(VERY IMPORTANT) Since Vata disorders get aggravated when Ama (toxins) is present, a slight detox is necessary.

Gentle Detox (Safe & Home-Based) ✔ Triphala churna ½ teaspoon at bedtime with warm water Helps in gut-brain axis and gets rid of Ama

✔ Castor oil detox (once a week) 1 teaspoon castor oil in warm milk at night Very good for Vata disorders of the spine

❌ Do not take a strong Panchakarma unless a physician is supervising you.

External Therapies (Highly Beneficial) If these are available, they give great results: Greeva Basti with medicated oils Abhyanga (oil massage) with: Ksheerabala Taila Mahanarayan Taila

Nasya therapy (very important for brain & neck) 2 drops of Anu Taila 2 each nostril

Lifestyle & Posture Advice

✔ Do not strain your neck by looking down for a long time (mobile, laptop) ✔ Try to use a neck pillow ✔ Gentle neck stretching (no jerks) ✔ Daily Pranayama: Anulom Vilom Bhramari (very good for brain circulation)

Do not abruptly turn your head or get up in the middle of the night

Diet Guidelines (Vata-Pacifying) ✔ Food that is warm and freshly cooked ✔ Ghee, milk, soaked almonds ✔ Avoid: Cold food Excessive tea/coffee Dry snacks

WHEN TO SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL HELP

In case you have: Memory loss recurring Speech becoming slurred Weakness in arms and legs Very strong vertigo → It is necessary to undergo immediate neurological evaluation.

Since: ✔ It was just the one and only episode ✔ MRI and EEG are normal ✔ There are no memory issues afterwards

With appropriate Vata management and Rasayana therapy this can be both prevented and controlled.

For cervical spondylitis, Ayurveda views this condition as an imbalance primarily of Vata dosha, particularly affecting the asthi (bones) and majja dhatu (nervous system). Start with gently massaging your neck and upper back with warm Mahanarayan oil or sesame oil daily, as this can help ease tension and pain. In Ayurvedic practice, a warm oil therapy such as this is believed to pacify aggravated Vata. After applying the oil, you might want to use a warm compress to further relax the muscles. Performing gentle neck exercises and holding correct posture during daily activities are essential steps as well.

For serious memory issues related to amnesia, even though it was a single event, enhancing your cognitive function might be helpful. Including certain herbs like Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) can be beneficial — possibly take it in the form of a tea or tablet under guidance. As an adaptogen, Brahmi is known to support nervous system health, improving memory and concentration.

Diet plays a crucial role in managing both conditions. Increase intake of warm, nourishing foods, such as well-cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and oats, and healthy fats like ghee. These are balancing for Vata dosha. Incorporate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as flaxseeds and walnuts, as they may support brain health.

Ensure you are getting restorative sleep, that’s crucial for both managing pain and cognitive recovery. Try to adhere to a regular sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine. Stress management techniques like yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises) can also be profound in both reducing pain and supporting cognitive health.

Also, remain vigilant regarding any new symptoms or changes in your condition and consult with a healthcare professional as needed. If episodes related to memory issues reoccur, immediate medical attention might be necessary. Ensure that you are coordinating care across both Ayurvedic and allopathic practitioners to ensure a holistic approach to your health.
