Nerve-related disorders occur when the nerves that transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and other parts of the body are damaged, compressed, or inflamed. This can result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or weakness in different areas of the body. Common causes include injuries, diabetes, spinal issues, and long-term strain on the nervous system.
In Ayurveda, nerve problems are primarily associated with an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs the nervous system and bodily movements. When Vata becomes aggravated, it disrupts normal nerve functions, leading to pain and loss of sensation.
Dr. Padmasiri Udugama’s Ayurvedic treatments focus on calming the Vata dosha and revitalizing the nervous system using traditional herbal medicines, oil therapies (Abhyanga), and restorative procedures such as Shirodhara and Pizhichil. These natural treatments help nourish the nerves, improve blood flow, relieve pain, and restore healthy nerve function — promoting overall neurological balance and wellness.
