Pain Management – Ayurveda’s Approach to Pain Relief
One of the most common and foremost manifestation of disease is pain. It is experienced in all types and intensity. Sharp, throbbing dull, chronic, numbing, debilitating etc. and a patient’s account of his suffering is the only diagnostic tool easily available for understanding it.
Fortunately for Ayurveda, as Shoola Chikitsa we have inherited a guide on understanding pains and their origins precisely. The classification is based on Vata, Pitta, Kapha doshas, their subtler sub types and the place of localization.The wise ancient texts describe how various pains are experienced, this helps a physician immensely to pin down the root cause.
The treatments offered at Travancore Ayurveda are Pain Eliminating not Pain Suppressing.
