Twiching - #6565
For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing muscle twiching, mostly in my eyelids and sometimes in my arms and legs. At first, I thought it might just be due to stress or lack of sleep, but the twiching hasn’t stopped and seems to be getting worse. I’m curious if this is something Ayurveda can address. Does twiching usually indicate an imbalance in the Vata dosha, as I’ve read that Vata governs movement and nerve impulses? Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments or herbs that can calm the nervous system and help with twiching? I’ve also heard that poor nutrition, like a deficiency in magnesium or calcium, could cause twiching. Can Ayurveda provide dietary or herbal solutions for this? Would therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) or Shirodhara be beneficial for twiching? I’ve also been told that herbal remedies like Ashwagandha and Brahmi might help relax the nerves. Should I start with these, or is there a more targeted approach for twiching in Ayurveda? If anyone has dealt with twiching using Ayurvedic treatments, how effective were they? How long did it take to notice results, and were there any specific lifestyle changes or practices that helped alongside the remedies? Lastly, are there any precautions or side effects to consider while using Ayurvedic solutions for twiching?
