Ayurveda Pain Management

Science Behind The Magical Ancient Tradition Of Managing Pain

Suffering from pain, whether it is mild or severe, is always both physical and mental, hindering our performance and output and impacting our day-to-day activities too. In Ayurveda, the treatment for pain focuses on relieving the pain and also, at the same time improving the threshold of the person to manage the symptom. Following are the procedures mentioned in ancient texts that work around managing pain.

  • Potli: Acharya Sushruta, the ancient Indian surgeon from the 6th century BCE and author of Sushruta Samhita, has mentioned that heat transmission to the tissue with an intent to relieve pain is more superior than aushadhi, i.e., medicinal treatment, kshara, or shastra. This process manages vata and kapha and is beneficial in conditions like sciatica, joint pain, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, etc. It is supported by modern science too, which claims that heat has the ability to penetrate deep into the tissues and skin, muscular tissue, and ligaments and acts by dilating the blood vessels, improving blood circulation, and stimulating healing.
  • Marma Therapy: This non-invasive method of holistic healing works on the chakra level at the core. Abhyangam, acupressure, and aromatherapy help in pranic healing, removing blockages resulting in a healthy mind, healthy body, and healthy soul. Also, it not only addresses muscular pain and joint pain but also relieves migraines and headaches. Spondylosis, mental stress, and fatigue—for all these concerns, marma therapy is the one-stop solution.
  • Sneha & Svedhana: The use of oils or ghee externally has been considered very effective. The procedure offers love to the body and treats the doshas, followed by steam, which helps in dislodging the toxins and releases muscle tension. The heat contributes to relieving pain and stiffness by restoring balance in Vayu and Kaph. The steam therapy, or svedhana, is so magical that it can reduce earache and even the pain due to constipation. Arthritis, spasms, or tremors all can be reduced with a combination of sneha and svedhana.
  • Basti: The ayurvedic scriptures mention vata as the main causative factor for the distressing symptom of pain, and basti is a wonderful procedure to balance the degenerated vata dosha. This magical and powerful therapy is described as ardha chikitsa, as it can address several problems like lower back pain, sciatica, arthritis, gout, muscle and nerve atrophy, osteoporosis, etc.
