Back Pain - A Brief Outlook

Hello Readers and My Dear Patients,

Hope you all doing well. Today i am going to mention something for  the back pain patients.

All of us in any point of time in our life we might experience the Lower Back Ache.

Major Causes for Back Pain:

 It is mainly affecting, due to the lac of exercises, over weight, hereditary factors, fall or accident history, Piles, constipation, urinary calculus, cysts or growth in the uterus or ovaries etc. are some of the most common causes for Lower Back ache.

It may be mainly affecting the lumbar area in the vertebral bones as stenosis, necrosis, prolapse, bulge, degeneration, compression and so on, as per the modern terminology.

According to Ayurveda,

in general we can say that, any pain is occurring due to the vitiation of the ‘vatha’dosha or the wind element in the body.

 Vatha vitiation is happening due to the blockage in the channels (srothas).

 It is mainly happening in two ways either due to the dryness in the channels for blood supply and nerve supply or due to the blockage by the excess fat or ‘dhurmedas’.

Treatment Principles:

 In the first case, we have to clear the blockages by ‘snehana’ and ‘deepana’ then strengthen the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels etc. to promote better circulation.

Hence resulting the over all rejuvenation. 

Once the body became healthy, the disease is no more. That is the concept of Ayurveda.

In case of ‘kapha, medho’ aggravation we have to reduce the aggravated ‘kapha dosha’ and ‘dhur medas’.

 Which gives lightness to the body, enthusiasm, clears the blockage in the channels hence resulting the better functioning of the nerves, tendons, muscles etc.

We will continue in the upcoming blogs.

Back Pain - Simple Tips

Hello Readers and my Dear Patients,

Today i just want to mention about a wonderful single drug remedy for the Lower Back Pain.

As i said in my previous blogs the constipation and piles will enhance the blockage for the energy flow around the waist muscles,sacral and Lumbar bones at the Back.

 So the pain will be aggravating in such conditions.

The following Remedy will help to pacify the condition up to a certain extend. 

You can also try it out and feel the change,share your experience in your circle.

Castor oil + vitex nigundo leaf juice (nirgundi swarasam)

Castor Oil 5 - 10 ml ( it is a mild herbal laxative) add 30 ml tender leaf juice of ‘Nirgundy’ plant(Sanskrit). English Name is ‘Vitex nigundo’ and Malayalam name is ‘Karinochi’.

 Stir well to mix both castor oil and tender leaf juice,it should be taken early morning in empty stomach continuously for 21 days.

As it is a laxative you get 2- 3 times bowel movements in the morning.

 You can adjust the dosage of castor oil.

 You may feel slight stomach ache while taking this mixture,then you drink hot water gulp by gulp in frequent intervals.

You can also apply the castor oil warm with camphor and asfoetida on the lumbar area at the lower back.

These applications will be enough to pacify the severity of pain.

Precautions for Back pain Patients...

Hello my Dear Readers and Patients,

We will continue with the back pain management. Back Pain patient should not have the constipation  and over weight.

So you have to take everything enhancing  the bowel movements. 

Take more green leafy vegetables,fruits,drink plenty of water etc. 

Have a very light dinner especially soup based dinner,fruits alone or even skip the dinner.

 If it is not working then you can try some mild Laxatives too.

The constipation may be occurring due to the internal piles.

 It blocks the wind element and creates the  inflammatory state at the Lumbo-Sacral region or the Lower back.

 Hence resulting the aggravation of Backache. The wind element should flow properly in the downward direction from head to toe,then only the wind can perform its functions perfectly.

Another issues which elevates the wind are,wind aggravating food substances like root tubers,lentils etc. Improper food timings and stress & tension also may gives rise to the bloating and constipation which may aggravates the Back ache. 

When the ‘vatha’ or wind elevates in the body and creates a kind of drying up situation in each and every cellular level,causing the lac of synovial fluid and degeneration of Discs.

 When there is lacing of lubricants in the cells,the muscle fibers will be in brittle state,discs will be degenerating,bone density will be less,stiffness will be developing,delay in passing the signals from the brain through spinal cord and nerves.

All these above said conditions reflects as the Aches and Pains in the Lower Back ache or Lumbago.

We will continue in the next blogs.
