Ayurvedic Treatments to Combat Pain

Ayurveda is an evolved science for thousand of years. Unfortunately though, it is often misunderstood due to lack of knowledge amongst the masses. But as the Western world is increasingly regarding Ayurveda with rising hope, we in India are also gradually shifting our focus to the art and adapting it for a better lifestyle and healthier solutions. Ayurveda can and has proven to be beneficial in curing backaches, joint and knee pains, migraines, arthritis, spondylosis, Sciatica, among other ills.

In the realm of Ayurveda, 'Vata' is the organizing principle for the nervous system. Aggravation of the said Vata increases pain and sensitivity, therefore, a  corresponding balancing and stabilizing Vata is the important part of an Ayurvedic treatment program. The root causes of disorders such as spondylitis, arthritis and backaches are found at a deeper layer of functioning in the body -when toxins accumulate, they circulate and build up in several joints. It is here that these toxins inhibit proper joint function, mobility, and comfort; with arthritis being one of the many longer term end results.

We often resort to Ayurveda once the pain killers have become ineffective, or a surgery has been suggested, but on the other hand, if the pain is arrested in the very beginning through Ayurveda, it's prime cause can be diagnosed and treated effectively. After all, prevention is better than cure.

There are various Ayurvedic treatments which take care of the various types of pains that may occur. The most popular of them are referred to as Kerala treatments - like Kati Basti, Manya Basti, Pindasweda, Pizhichil and Teldhara among others. For these scientific treatments, it is very important to carry them out under the supervision of good expert doctors and with good quality oils. The medicated oil and other medicines used for these non-surgical treatments should be of the best quality to in turn provide the best results. Hence, it is all the more important that one goes to a reputed clinic for such treatments.

With today's hectic lifestyles, stress has become a part of our lives. This also results in the accumulation of toxins in the body and hence aggravates pain. Ayurveda believes that “a healthy being is one whose body and mind both are healthy”. Hence it prescribes a combination of relaxing massages with Shirodhara and Nasya being its cornerstone, to keep the mind healthy and also help one overcome stress and be rid of mental tensions.

Joint, back and neck pains are often caused due to the excessive use of mobile phones, bad postures while gaming, chatting, watching TV and a distinct lack of exercise. In addition, an inappropriate style of exercise, vigorous workouts and a constant use of heavy weights may also lead to such problems.
