Ayurvedic Pain Relief & Management
Durja Ayurveda
We use Ayurvedic therapies to find and treat the root cause of your pain, with custom plans for joint, back, nerve, and injury-related issues instead of quick fixes.
Pricing Guide
Localized Pain Relief (Vasti)
Consultation & Prep
- Assessment: Quick check to select the correct medicated oil (e.g., Mahanarayana Thailam) based on the ailment.
- Setup: Preparation and exposure of the specific pain area (Lower Back, Knee, or Neck).
The Vasti Procedure
- Dough Ring: Construction of a leak-proof reservoir using black gram flour dough around the affected joint or spinal area.
- Oil Pooling: Retention of warm herbal oil inside the ring for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Temp Control: Therapist continuously sponges out cooling oil and replaces it with warm oil to maintain 38-40°C temperature.
Post-Treatment
- Massage: Includes a 5-10 minute light, localized massage on the treated area to improve circulation.
- Clean Up: Removal of dough and oil wipe-down.
- Note: This is a spot treatment and does not include full body steam or shower.
Full Body Therapy & Fomentation (Abhyanga + Kizhi)
Massage Phase (Abhyanga)
- Application: Use of Vata-pacifying medicated oils from head to toe (includes scalp).
- Technique: Long, sweeping strokes towards the heart for 40-45 minutes to warm up muscles and improve circulation.
Heat Therapy (Kizhi)
- Herbal Bolus: Application of heat using cloth bundles filled with herbal powders or leaves.
- Process: Rhythmic pounding on pain points and joints for 15-20 minutes to induce sweating and reduce stiffness.
Steam & Shower
- Swedana: 10-15 minute session in a traditional wooden steam box (head remains outside).
- Facilities: Includes access to attached bath with hot water and herbal soap.
- Apparel: Disposable wear provided.
Chronic Inflammation Relief (Dhanyamla Dhara)
Liquid Preparation
- The Liquid: Preparation of 2-4 liters of Dhanyamla (fermented cereal/herb liquid) or herbal decoction.
- Heating: Setup requires constant reheating to ensure the liquid hits the body at a precise, therapeutic warm temperature.
The Pouring Procedure
- Technique: 45-50 minutes of rhythmic, continuous pouring of liquid over the body or specific heavy pain areas.
- Focus: Stimulates nerve endings and reduces deep tissue inflammation without heavy massage pressure.
Post-Care
- Finish: Includes brief rest period and mandatory hot water shower to remove residue.
- Sensory Note: The fermented liquid has a strong, sour medicinal smell which is characteristic of potent anti-inflammatory treatments.
About Ayurvedic Pain Relief & Management
How I Approach Pain Relief
I don’t believe in quick fixes. When it comes to pain — whether it’s that nagging knee, stiff neck, or old injury that just won’t let go — I look for what’s really out of whack inside your body. Most times, pain is tied to a Vata dosha imbalance. That’s where I start, because unless the root is addressed, pain keeps coming back.
What I Can Help With
My work covers lots of pain situations:
- Joint issues like arthritis, gout, stiffness, and swelling
- Back and neck pain (spondylitis, muscular spasms, disc problems)
- Knee pain, including chronic cases and ligament troubles
- Sciatica, with focus on nerve health and reducing inflammation
- Migraines and chronic headaches, especially when linked to digestion or stress
- Sports injuries, frozen shoulder, muscular weakness, and even pain from old accidents
What’s Involved
Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. I mix and match therapies to suit your exact needs. Here’s what I might use:
- Herbal oil therapy for joint pain, like Kati Vasti for your back, Greeva Vasti for your neck, and Janu Vasti for knees
- Kizhi massages with medicated herbs or rice to ease pain and get your muscles moving again
- Shirodhara for headaches and stress, where warm oil is streamed on your forehead
- Panchakarma for chronic pain, a detox process that clears out deep-rooted toxins
- Ayurvedic therapies for sciatica, using a blend of oils, herbs, and gentle pressure
I’ll work with you to figure out which therapies fit best, and be honest — results take time. Sometimes things get a little messy before they get better, but I’m here for the long haul. Your pain story is unique, so your healing path will be too.
