1 of 5
Ayurveda offers an effective relief from both chronic and acute pain with various pain-killing approaches. The application of medicated oils works great for sprains, muscular pain, abdominal pain, and backaches. Agnikarma and the projection of heat can do wonders for serious joint pains. While purifying blood can cure headaches, eye-aches, and swelling of the tissues and joints, the application of Lepa or paste of herbs provides relief to sprains, injuries, and swellings. Consult with an Ayurvedic physician to know which Ayurvedic approach is best suited for your pain.
Which one of these factors is considered to be causing chronic pain according to Ayurveda?
2 of 5
In Ayurveda, it is believed that there are three energies that not only build the body but also enable it to perform the crucial physiological functions smoothly. Therefore, whenever a dosha or imbalance of these energies occur, the physiological functions are disrupted and cause chronic pain. Since Ayurveda focuses on curing the doshas, the pain is relieved from the very core of its origin.
Ayurveda helps in managing pain by removing the toxins and impurities from the body.

Unlike the mainstream medical practice, Ayurveda works toward relieving pain by purifying the impurities that are there embedded deep in the tissues of the body. The massage of Ayurvedic oils helps in the proper circulation of those impurities so that they are thrown out of the body, eventually eliminating the pain. In case the pain is severe, an Ayurveda professional may suggest you a different Ayurveda approach to deal with the pain.
Ayurveda views pain to be an experience of both the body and the mind that is very much subjective.

Ayurveda perceives that both, the physical body and the mind are in trouble when pain occurs in any part of the body. The cells in the brain contain pain-relieving chemicals which can be triggered mentally. Therefore, along with offering treatments to the body, Ayurveda focuses on triggering those pain-relieving chemicals in the brain which leads to self-regulating the pain and thus relieve it. Treating the pain early is important before it gets chronic.
Ayurveda doesn t involve digestion, stress management, daily routine, and lifestyle of a person when offering a solution for pain management.

Anything that helps increase the balance between the three energies responsible for a smooth physiological functioning of the body falls under Ayurveda treatment. Ayurveda reviews everything, right from lifestyle, daily routine to eating habits of a person to understand its influence on digestion and stress management, and in turn pain inducing health issues. Since Ayurveda considers every individual to be different, the treatment approach for managing pain may vary from person to person.
