In Ayurveda, a disc bulge leading to pain in the hip and leg is often viewed as a Vata imbalance, particularly in the lower back and hip regions. This Vata aggravation can cause dryness, stiffness, and pain, which interfere with daily activities. Ayurvedic treatment for such conditions focuses on nourishing the affected tissues, strengthening the spine and muscles, and balancing Vata to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Therapies like Kati Basti, where warm medicated oil is applied to the lower back and allowed to seep in, can be very effective in relieving pain and inflammation, while also nourishing the spine. Panchakarma therapies, especially Abhyanga (full-body oil massage) and Basti (medicated enema), can also help in eliminating toxins and balancing Vata, providing relief to the nerves and muscles around the spine.
Herbal remedies, such as Shallaki (Boswellia) and Guggulu, are known for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and can help manage pain naturally. Ashwagandha and Bala are also beneficial as they strengthen the muscles and support joint health. These can be taken under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure the right dosage and combination.
In terms of daily practice, gentle exercises and yoga asanas like Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and Salabhasana (locust pose), if done carefully and under supervision, may help improve spinal health and flexibility over time. Avoiding heavy lifting and long periods of sitting can prevent further aggravation.
A Vata-pacifying diet with warm, nourishing foods like cooked vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats (like ghee) is recommended. Avoid cold, dry, and processed foods, as these can aggravate Vata and contribute to joint pain.

It sounds like you're dealing with some significant discomfort, and I'm really sorry to hear that. Hip pain, especially when it's constant and affecting your ability to do daily activities, can be really troublesome. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this kind of pain might be related to Vata dosha imbalance—Vata being the energy that governs movement and flow in the body. A disc bulge could aggravate Vata, leading to those annoying pain sensations you're experiencing in your hip and leg.
What you might want to try is incorporating some Ayurvedic practices to help balance your Vata. Start with your diet. Opt for warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Think whole grains like rice, or cooked vegetables like carrots and zucchini, with a bit of warm ghee or sesame oil, which are soothing. Avoid cold, raw, or dry foods as they might exacerbate the Vata qualities.
Self-massage can be crucial too. Use warm sesame oil to gently massage your lower back and hips area. Do it daily if you can, maybe before showering. The heat and oil can help soothe the affected area and promote some relaxation. Remember, it doesn't have to be a lengthy ritual—a few minutes could make a difference.
Yoga asanas focusing on grounding and stability, such as tree or mountain pose, may help gently restore balance. But please proceed cautiously, especially if certain movements trigger more pain. It's vital to listen to your body.
If things don't improve, or if the pain worsens, it's absolutely essential to seek medical attention. Ongoing pain that affects daily activities might need an expert for comprehensive evaluation, like a combo of Ayurveda and allopathic medicine. Safety first for sure.
Please be kind to yourself—it's not easy dealing with constant pain, and giving yourself time and space to heal is important. Let me know if you need further clarifications or feel free to share how things are progressing!
