Grudhrasi - #7148
For the past few months, I’ve been experiencing sharp pain that starts in my lower back and radiates down my leg. At first, I thought it was just a pulled muscle, but the pain hasn’t gone away, and some days it’s so bad I can barely walk. A friend mentioned that my symptoms sound like Grudhrasi, which is a condition described in Ayurveda. What exactly is Grudhrasi, and how does Ayurveda explain it? From what I’ve read, it’s similar to sciatica in modern medicine, caused by nerve compression or imbalances in the body. But I don’t understand how Ayurveda treats Grudhrasi differently from conventional treatments. I’ve heard that treatments for Grudhrasi in Ayurveda include Panchakarma therapies like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Vasti (medicated enema). Are these treatments effective for severe pain? Do they provide long-term relief, or do you need to repeat them regularly? I’m also curious about Ayurvedic herbs for Grudhrasi. Are there specific herbs or formulations that reduce inflammation and pain? How should they be used internally, externally, or both? If anyone has dealt with Grudhrasi or has experience with Ayurvedic treatments for it, I’d love to hear your story. How long did it take to see improvement? Are there exercises or lifestyle changes that can support recovery along with the treatments?
