Slip Disc Relief Naturally: Ayurveda & Panchakarma Care

Slip Disc: Ayurvedic & Panchakarma Treatment for Natural and Long-Term Non- surgical Relief 

Slip Disc, also known as disc prolapse or herniated disc, is a common spinal problem that causes severe back pain and nerve compression. It is increasingly seen due to long sitting hours, poor posture, lack of exercise, stress, and aging.

Modern treatment often relies on painkillers, steroids, or surgery. These may give short-term relief but do not always correct the root cause. Ayurveda offers a natural, safe, and effective approach by balancing dosha, strengthening the spine, and reducing nerve inflammation.

What is Slip Disc According to Ayurveda?

Common Ayurvedic causes include:

  • Long sitting or wrong posture

  • Excessive physical strain

  • Aging and degeneration

  • Lack of lubrication in joints

  • Weak digestion (Agni)

Breathe Free Naturally: Ayurvedic & Panchakarma Care for Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition affecting people of all ages, characterized by repeated episodes of breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness, and persistent coughing. In recent years, cases of asthma and other respiratory illnesses have been climbing, especially in urban areas, driven largely by worsening air pollution, seasonal changes, allergens, stress, and weakened immunity. Poor air quality places additional stress on the lungs: many Indian cities currently record unhealthy AQI levels, with parts of Maharashtra—including areas like Pimpri-Chinchwad—frequently reporting AQI values in the unhealthy to poor range, meaning the air contains elevated levels of fine particulates that can irritate airways and trigger asthma attacks. In northern India, cities often reach even higher very poor to hazardous AQI categories, creating serious risks for those with asthma, children, and the elderly. The Times of India+1

Modern medicine typically focuses on inhalers, bronchodilators, and steroids. These treatments are effective at relieving acute symptoms and preventing immediate airway constriction, but they often do not address long-term respiratory resilience or the underlying imbalances that predispose individuals to frequent flare-ups. In contrast, Ayurveda offers a holistic, natural, and long-term approach that aims to strengthen lung function, enhance immunity, and balance the body’s internal systems. By addressing digestive fire (Agni), reducing chronic inflammation, and balancing the dosha (especially Kapha and Vaata), Ayurvedic care seeks not only to ease symptoms but to improve overall respiratory health and resilience—especially valuable in times of poor air quality that repeatedly challenge the lungs.

Struggling with asthma or frequent breathing difficulty? Consult our Ayurvedic expert today for a personalized treatment plan https://ayurvidhiclinic.com/services/

🌬️ What is Asthma According to Ayurveda?

In Ayurveda, asthma is known as Shwaasa which further classified as Tamaka Shwaasa, Pratamaka Shwaasa as per dosha conjunction.

Common Ayurvedic causes include:

  • Accumulation of Kapha in the lungs

  • Weak digestive fire (Mandaagni)

  • Exposure to dust, smoke, cold air

  • Cold, heavy, oily foods

  • Recurrent cough and cold

  • Stress and lack of sleep

  • Hereditary Issues of Shwaasa in family

9 Dec, 2025
Dr. Kaustubh Bathe0 commentsDecember 9, 2025Ayurveda, Infertility, Men' Health

Overcome ED Naturally with Ayurveda & Panchakarma

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) has become a very common issue among men of all age groups. Stressful life, late nights, unhealthy habits, and hormonal imbalance are major reasons behind today’s rising sexual health problems.
Although ED is common, it can be completely treated—especially with Ayurveda’s natural and holistic approach.

Ayurveda does not just treat the symptom but strengthens the body, mind, nerves, and reproductive system for long-term results.

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction means a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual activity.

It affects:

  • Confidence

  • Mental health

  • Relationships

  • Fertility in some cases

But the good news is—ED is treatable, especially when addressed on time.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

1. Stress & Anxiety

High stress directly affects the nervous system and reduces sexual strength.

2. Weak Nerves (Vata Imbalance)

Vaata affects the nervous system and causes weak or short-lasting erections.

3. Hormonal Imbalance

Low testosterone can reduce sexual desire and erection strength.

4. Lifestyle Issues

  • Lack of sleep

  • Smoking

  • Alcohol

  • Excess mobile/laptop usage

  • Sedentary habits

  • Overthinking

5. Chronic Diseases

Diabetes, hypertension, obesity and thyroid disorders weaken sexual function.

6. Poor Diet

Stale food, junk food, cold drinks and excessive spicy/oily foods create Ama (toxins) that block reproductive channels.

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction

  • Weak erection

  • Difficulty in maintaining erection

  • Reduced sexual desire

  • Early ejaculation

  • Stress & low confidence

  • Feeling tired or low energy

  • Anxiety before intercourse

Ayurvedic View of Erectile Dysfunction

In Ayurveda, ED is called Klaibya.
It occurs due to imbalance of Vaata, weakness in Shukra Dhatu, low Ojas, poor digestion and blockage in reproductive channels.

Ayurveda focuses on:

  • Strengthening nerves

  • Nourishing reproductive tissues

  • Improving hormonal balance

  • Reducing stress

  • Boosting stamina & vitality

Ayurvedic & Panchakarma for kidney stone treatment at Ayurvidhi Clinic in Pune

Dr. Kaustubh Bathe0 commentsNovember 16, 2025Ayurveda, Basti, Diet, Panchakarma, Uncategorized, Vamana

Ayurvedic & Panchakarma Treatment for Kidney Stones (Mutrashmari)

Kidney stones are one of the most common and painful urinary disorders seen today. Known as Mutrashmari in Ayurveda, this condition occurs when mineral deposits accumulate and form hard stone-like masses in the kidneys or urinary tract.
Poor diet, dehydration, stressful lifestyle, and improper metabolism have made kidney stones increasingly common even in younger individuals.

Ayurveda provides a holistic, natural, and effective approach to dissolve stones, relieve pain, prevent recurrence, and improve overall urinary health.

Understanding Kidney Stones in Ayurveda (Mutrashmari)

Ayurvedic texts describe Mutrashmari as a Tridoshaja Vyadhi, mainly dominated by Vaata and Kapha dosha imbalance. When Kapha increases, it causes thickening and accumulation of minerals, while aggravated Vaata leads to obstruction and pain.

There are different types of kidney stones in Ayurveda based on dosha dominance, but the general treatment focuses on:

  • Removing obstruction

  • Regulating urine flow

  • Breaking down the stone

  • Preventing recurrence through detox and diet

Causes of Kidney Stones

1. Lifestyle & Dietary Causes

  • Drinking insufficient water

  • Excess intake of salty, sour, spicy, and oily foods

  • High consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol, and aerated drinks

  • Eating food containing high oxalates (spinach, nuts, chocolate)

  • Skipping meals or eating incompatible foods

2. Metabolic Causes

  • High calcium or uric acid levels

  • Poor digestion (weak Agni)

  • Excessive sweating

3. Other Causes

  • Holding urine for long periods

  • Sedentary lifestyle

  • Genetic predisposition

Ayurveda emphasizes that weak digestion and impaired metabolic fire play a major role in stone formation.

🔍 Symptoms of Kidney Stones (Mutrashmari)

  • Radiating pain toward the groin

  • Burning sensation or pain during urination

  • Blood in urine (Hematuria)

  • Frequent urge to urinate

  • Nausea, vomiting

  • Reduced urine output

  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

Pain can be intermittent or constant depending on the size and movement of the stone.

🌿 Ayurvedic Treatment of Kidney Stones

Ayurvedic treatment focuses on breaking the stone (Ashmaribhedana), flushing it out naturally, reducing pain, and preventing recurrence by balancing doshas.

1. Herbal Medicines (Aushadhi Chikitsa)

  •  Diuretic, anti-inflammatory, improves urine flow

  • Strengthens kidneys and urinary tract

The herbal Treatment work synergistically to dissolve stones and improve kidney function.

🧴 2. Panchakarma Treatment for Kidney Stones

Panchakarma is extremely effective for detoxifying the urinary system and preventing recurrence.

💧 1. Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation)

  • Eliminates excess Pitta and toxins from the body

  • Reduces inflammation and burning sensation

🫙 2. Basti (Medicated Enema Therapy)

  • Best for Vaata imbalance, which causes obstruction and severe pain

  • Specific bastis like Dashmool Basti relieve spasm and facilitate stone movement

💆 3. Snehana & Swedana (Oil Massage & Steam)

  • Relaxes lower abdominal muscles

  • Reduces pain and supports easy passage of stones

🌿 4. Uttarbasti (Specialized Therapy – done cautiously under expert supervision)

The Ultimate Guide to Panchakarma Treatment: A 3 Step guide to Detoxify Your Body

You all know panchakarma therapies. Let’s revise it again Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya & Raktamokshana are the five karma therapies known as Panchakarma. Its merits, demerits, indications & contraindications will be discussed in another blog. In this blog will see how they are planned in three simple steps to give you maximum benefits.

Before jumping the world of panchakarma therapies one should how it is been scheduled. This will help to understand the nature of procedure and its benefits.

For an e.g. while preparing a meal or any dish we do pre-cooking, cooking & post-cooking cleaning, the same thing happens with panchakarma therapies, it’s a three-step program designed for every one of the panchakarmas. They are termed as Purva-karma, Pradhana-karma & Paschat-karma.


  • 1) Purva-karma: (Pre-Panchakarma measures or procedures):

Before doing the main procedure one has to under go the pre operative measures.  It’s a simple two types of procedure executed before panchakarma as a preoperative measure. It has two 1) Snehana, and 2) Swedana; both this procedure is carried out for 3 to 7 days as per one Prakriti, Agni, Bala, health condition, age, etc.

A) Snehana: It is oleation therapy done by using oiling agents like ghee & oil. Based on application or introduction it’s been categorized into internal application (Abhyantar Snehana) & external application (Baahya Snehana).

  • Baahya Snehana: It is a procedure of applying oil externally to the body with gentle pressure in such a manner to get absorbed in the body. It is a type of body massage with herbal ayurvedically prepared oils.
  • Abhyantar Snehana: The introduction of oil or ghee in such an amount, that it gets digested easily with increasing dose of it every day up to getting specific results is known as abhyantar snehana. In simple terms, it is the drinking of ghee.

B) Swedana: Making the body sweet by using various types of hot fomentation is known as swedana. It is done by steaming the body with steam of ayurvedic decoction.

What is the necessity of Snehana & Swedana??

Both the procedures (Both types of Snehana & Swedana) are very helpful in loosening up the toxins from the system. This helps them to bring the toxins into the elementary canal or system from where they can be drained out of the body from the nearest exit easily.

Both types of Snehana & Swedana are prescribed before Vamana, Virechana & Raktamokshana. While before Basti & Nasya required only external Snehana & Swedana are done.

2) Pradhana karma:

This is a day therapy program to expel the toxins from the body through the nearest exits they need. These are;

  • Vamana– toxins from the stomach are expelled through the mouth with the help of emesis.
  • Virechana– toxins from below the stomach are expelled out through the anal opening with purgative medicine
  • Basti– toxins present in the colon are expelled by introducing the enema through the anal opening & then it carries all toxins out with it.
  • Nasya– toxins present at the head and organs attached to it are expelled out from the nostrils.
  •  Raktamokshana– toxins present in the blood are expelled with the help of jalauka (leech) or syringes from the skin & veins.

 

3) Paschat karma or Uttar Karma (Post-operative measures):

After completing any of the main karma from panchakarma postoperative measures are a must. These are simple diet rules designed according to the condition of the body to recover faster without any discomfort.  The diet regulation starts from having just boiled rice water, and then shifts to gruel, after that khichadi then after that to regular roti sabji. This also continues up to 3 to 5 days.

What is the necessity of the Paschat karma??

The paschat karma is adopted to regulate the homeostasis of the body after doing panchakarma. During the first two panchakarma procedures, Agni has to go through various changes that lead to weakening Agni or Agni-Mandya. This diet management helps to restore its ability to normal in a very short time.  This also prevents from getting unnecessary complications after the panchakarma.

Doing the panchakarma in the right way helps to flush out toxins from the body, helps to balance doshas & dhaatus equilibrium, boosts immunity, and builds better health.

At Ayurvidhi Clinic we provide the best panchakarma in an authentic ayurvedic way.
