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.

Ayurvedic Health Care in the Monsoon Season: Balance, Detox & Immunity

Monsoon brings much-needed relief from the summer heat, but it also invites digestive disorders, infections, joint pains, and reduced immunity. According to Ayurveda, this is the time when Vaata and Pitta doshas get aggravated, and Agni (digestive fire) becomes weak. Hence, this season requires special care to maintain internal balance, boost immunity, and prevent seasonal ailments.

Let’s explore the Ayurvedic perspective on monsoon health care, including diet, lifestyle tips, and essential Panchakarma therapies for detox and rejuvenation.

Ayurvedic Understanding of Monsoon (Varsha Rhutu)

In Varsha Rhutu (monsoon), the accumulation of Vaata dosha due to dryness and cold, and Pitta aggravation due to humidity and heat, leads to a disturbed balance in the body. Moreover, the digestive fire (Agni) weakens, making the body more prone to indigestion, infections, skin disorders, and joint pains.

Therefore, Ayurveda emphasizes on:

  • Strengthening digestion

  • Eliminating accumulated doshas

  • Adopting a preventive lifestyle

  • Nourishing the body with seasonal care

 Diet Recommendations for Monsoon (Aahara)

  • Eat freshly cooked, warm and light meals:  Favor khichadi, mung dal, steamed vegetables, and rice gruel.

  • Use digestive spices like: Ginger (Saunth), cumin (Jeera), black pepper (Kali Mirch), turmeric (Haldi), and Carom Seeds (Ajwain). Eating roasted Ajwain, dried ginger, Sauf after meals can boost digestion and gets release unwanted gases.

  •   Avoid raw foods: Raw salads, leafy greens, curd, and street food can aggravate Kapha and Vaata.

  • Drink boiled & cooled water: Add a pinch of trikatu churna or dry ginger for better digestion.

  • Prefer sour and salty tastes: over sweet and cold They help pacify Vaata and maintain energy.

  • Avoid heavy, oily, and fermented foods: These increase Aama (toxins) and aggravate dosha

  • Recommended Herbal Teas: Ginger-Tulsi tea, cinnamon water, coriander tea.

General Ayurvedic Precautionary Health Measures (Dinacharya & Rhutucharya)

  1. Wake up early and perform light yoga or stretching
2 Abhyanga (oil massage):

Importance of Raktamokshana in Ayurveda: An Ancient Blood Purification Therapy

Raktamokshana, one of the five key therapies of Panchakarma in Ayurveda, is a powerful and time-tested method of blood purification. Literally meaning “bloodletting” (Rakta = blood, Mokshana = to release), this therapy is based on the Ayurvedic principle that impure blood (dosha-dushta rakta) is the root cause of many skin, muscular, and systemic diseases. By eliminating vitiated blood from the body, Raktamokshana restores balance, promotes healing, and rejuvenates the system naturally.

 Ayurvedic Concept of Raktamokshana

In Ayurveda, Rakta dhatu (blood tissue) is considered a vital carrier of life force. When it becomes impure due to an imbalance in doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha)—especially Pitta—it leads to various disorders like skin problems, inflammation, infections, and chronic diseases.

Raktamokshana helps in:

  • Removing toxins and impurities from the blood

  • Reducing inflammation, swelling, and heat from the affected areas

  • Balancing Pitta dosha

  • Enhancing the circulation and oxygenation of tissues

Methods of Raktamokshana

In Ayurveda four different methods of Raktamokshana are described. Which are as follows.

  1. Siravedha (Venesection) – Controlled removal of blood through veins

  2. Jalaukavacharana (Leech therapy) – Application of medicinal leeches to suck impure blood

  3. Prachchanna Karma – Superficial scarification and scraping

  4. Alabu and Shringa – Use of special tools like horn or gourds to create suction

Among the above four methods Jalaukavacharana is most commonly used in treatments due to its benefits and therapeutic properties.

Indications of Raktamokshana (When is it Recommended?)

Raktamokshana is especially useful in Pitta-dominant disorders or diseases caused by impure blood. It is indicated in the following conditions:

  • Skin diseases: Psoriasis, eczema, acne, urticaria

  • Chronic wounds and ulcers

  • Localized pain and inflammation (arthritis, sciatica)

  • Varicose veins and pigmentation issues

  • Hypertension

  • Gout (Vatarakta)

  • Hair fall, premature greying, and dandruff

  • Frequent boils and abscesses

  • Acne or Pimples

 Health Benefits of Raktamokshana:

  1. Detoxifies Blood: Clears impurities, improving overall circulation and immunity.

  2. Skin Health: Improves skin texture, reduces rashes, itching, and blemishes.

  3. Pain Relief: Reduces chronic pain, joint inflammation, and muscular tension.

  4. Balances Doshas: Especially effective in calming excess Pitta and Rakta disorders.

  5. Rejuvenates Organs: Enhances the function of liver, skin, and other blood-related organs.

  6. Boosts Healing: Accelerates wound healing and reduces the chance of infection.

  7. Improves Energy: Helps the body feel lighter, refreshed, and revitalized.

Who Should Do Raktamokshana?

Raktamokshana is recommended for:

  • Individuals with chronic skin issues

  • People suffering from recurring infections or inflammations

  • Those experiencing Pitta-dominant symptoms like burning sensation, bleeding disorders, or anger issues

  • Individuals with autoimmune conditions, after consultation

  • People with lifestyle-related toxins or heavy exposure to chemicals, pollutants, or a non-vegetarian diet.

 

However, not everyone is a candidate for Raktamokshana. It is not advised for:

  • Pregnant women

  • Extremely weak or anemic individuals

  • Children and elderly (in most cases)

  • Those with bleeding disorders or low platelet count

 Precautions and Guidance

Raktamokshana should only be performed under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic physician, in a proper clinical setting. Pre- and post-procedural care is important to ensure safe detoxification and recovery. Proper diet (Pathya & Apathya) and rest are crucial for the success of the therapy.

 Conclusion

Raktamokshana is a powerful, natural, and holistic approach to cleanse the body from within. As a form of preventive and curative therapy, it stands as a testament to the wisdom of Ayurveda in dealing with chronic and lifestyle-induced diseases. In today’s era of rising toxins and stress, this ancient therapy offers a time-tested solution to restore balance and purity in the body—both inside and out.

Thinking of Raktamokshana? Consult your Ayurvedic expert Dr. Bathe at Ayurvidhi Clinic – Ayurvedic Clinic & Panchakarma Treatment Centre to check if you are suitable for this transformative therapy.

“Let your blood flow clean, your body feel light, and your health glow with Ayurveda.”

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.
