Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 This is Manish Sharma(22), from Malad(West) Mumbai. I would like to post my ayurveda treatment experience. About a month ago, I started experiencing low back pain, the pain radiating to big toe right through the leg. The pain increased while getting up from the chair and while walking I was experiencing mild shake of the leg. I had the feeling of loosing balance, though I did not fall down anytime. Within 3-4 days my mom took me to a Vaidya. He asked me to lie down and did pulse check and marma points check lasting about 15 minutes, silently. " You are suffering from vitiated Vata, as a result of some nerve pinching between Cervical 1,2 and 5th lumbar vertebra and sacral part of spine, but the problem is of recent origin, say about two months. Ayurvedic term is Grudhrasi, while modern medicine calls it sciatica. The disease has started early, due to truncal obesity and poor spine posture while sitting. You are suffering from low back pain and pain in legs too " He made a bulls eye hit. I added the symptom of leg shake, for completeness. No X-ray, no MRI or blood tests! " Now you have two options. One is slow approach, requiring taking panchgavya medicines and some tablets, needing about 2 months of medication. Other approach is difficult but sure and fast. Choose your option " . He made me read the second option at ayurveda/message/2765 My heart sank. I needed to attend the networking classes daily in the morning, and exams were approaching in a month. I wanted fast cure too, as taking panchgavya medicines daily was impossible. When I told my difficulties, Vaidya explained, " considering your age and recent start of the disease, I will allow you to simplify the program, so that it can be completed in 16 days and you will be able to attend the classes except for first four days. " I accepted the choice and started the programme. Each stage of part B was pruned from One week to 4 days only. Parijata leaves were available in close neighbourhood, which my mom would get while taking morning walk. During first two days I was feeling strong hunger but could manage slowly with just ginger tea. For first six days, I eliminated brownish, blackish water, having very foul smell. Even repeated flushing could not remove the smell. The pain and shake had vanished by sixth day itself. Food cravings had disappeared entirely. On eighth day, I started feeling dizziness and was about to blank out. I contacted Vaidya and he advised to take a pinch or two of salt with a little water. I felt good after that, but continued to avoid salt from next day. On 12th day I was called for check up. Pulse had balanced out, temperature, B.P. all was normal. I was feeling my body had become quite light. When I weiged myself, I had lost 7 Kg weight (about 16 pounds), from 94 kg to 87 kg. Already pants were loose at waist. I was asked to continue to fruits diet and report for check up on 16th day. On 16th day, all parameters were normal and one more Kg weight loss was the result. Vata pulse was totally silent. I was walking erect, no pain, no shake, no weakness, as fruits had given strength too. B.P. was 105/70, close to ayurvedic normal according to vaidya. I was advised to reach normal diet within 3 to 4 days, taking wheat at most once a day and reducing salt to minimum possible. Cost of the medicine for 16 days was less than Rs 100/-. I have posted the experience so that suffering is minimized everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
