Ayurveda for better
 understanding and
management of 'Pain'.


        -Dr. Atul Rakshe
  Shree Niramaya Ayurveda Kendra, Pune
      (INDIA). www.cozwecare.org



               www.cozwecare.org
• Life is journey from a pain (birth) to a
  pain (death)...Pain is a dear friend who
  walks along and tells when something is
  wrong.

• ‘Pain’ is not just a complaint. A whole
  system of medicines, methods and
  money revolves around ‘Pain’.
                 www.cozwecare.org
Killing Pain

• It is an instant reaction for so many of us
  when pain first strikes, we simply pop a
  pill to relieve our symptoms.

• “In a world where everyone is looking for
  means and medicines to minimize and
  kill the pain, Ayurveda can be a ray of
  hope- to understand Pain- As a friend not
  a foe...”
                  www.cozwecare.org
• In my opinion, ‘pain’ is always
  misunderstood. If we change the way
  we look at pain, we can certainly find
  newer ways of controlling, managing
  and reducing it.

• In Ayurveda ‘Shoola’ is the term used
  for pain.

• The term 'Shoola' is generally referred
  to pain in abdomen.

              www.cozwecare.org
Different Pains according
           to sites
• headache = shira shoola,
• backache = prushtha
  shoola




            www.cozwecare.org

    • Osteoarthritis (sandhivata)

    • Gout

    • Stress headaches

    • Migraine

    • Spondylitis

    • Frozen shoulder

    • Backache

    • Neck pain

    • Sciatica

    • Fibromyalgia

Pain management in
 modern medicine




     www.cozwecare.org
Causes of pain in Ayurveda
• Pain is an indication of a vata imbalance.

• The aggravated vata brings rukshyata
  (dryness),laghutva (porousness), kharatva
  (coarseness) which causes the symptom of
  pain.

• Apart from the normal physical causes, the
  desires for material pleasure (ragas) and
  passions are considered as causing and
  aggravating diseases.


               www.cozwecare.org
• We have a natural inclination to
  seek pleasure and avoid pain,
  which is termed as kama.

• So long as the mind clings to the
  material pleasure (ragas) and
  desires, wellbeing in the real sense
  is unachievable.

                  Swedana




Nasya                              Snehana
               www.cozwecare.org
• Pizichili is a therapy where warm oil is
  continuously applied while the body is
  simultaneously massaged.




                       • Shirodhara is a
                         continuous pouring of
                         warm oil on the third
                         eye center.
                   www.cozwecare.org
Eating the cure
• Nutrition is the key to
  tackling pain symptoms

• A satvic diet pacifying to both
  vata and pitta doshas is
  recommended.

• For general pain-killing ginger
  herbal tea, Mahanarayan
  Oil, turmeric and cayenne
  pepper are very good.


                    www.cozwecare.org
Yoga
• Brings energy and flexibility to the
  body
• Reduces stiffness of muscles and
  joints
• Controls the mind (citta)
• Promote general well-being

• Example:
  – a forward bend (uttanasana),
  – knees-to-chest(apanasana)


             www.cozwecare.org
Pranayama

• Valuable tool to manage pain
• Increases the pain threshold
• Regulating the breath revitalizes the
  body
• Cultivating a positive state of mind




           www.cozwecare.org
Meditation
• Reduces anxiety and stress in
  painful conditions
• Improves mental and
  emotional states
• Helps to improve mood

• Make an effort to improve the
  quality of sleep by meditating
  or listening to soothing music.


           www.cozwecare.org
Ayurveda aims..
• To bring balance of
  doshas and eliminate
  toxins from the body.

• Attaining the state of
  vira or vairagya
  (detachment from
  the sensual world
  and its enjoyments
  and sufferings)

          www.cozwecare.org
Conclusion
• Ranging from common pains like migraine,
  arthritis to severe pains due to cancers,
  Ayurveda is a ray of hope to many across the
  globe.

• Simple Yogic postures, basic Panchakarma like
  snehana/nasya/basti/swedana ,music, mantra,
  food and herbo-mineral preparations can be used
  for the specific disease, person or symptom.

• Increase in the ‘pain threshold’ and reduction
  of the causes of ‘Pain’ is a whole new approach
  towards pain.

Ayurvedic pain management

  • 1. Ayurveda for better understanding and management of 'Pain'. -Dr. Atul Rakshe Shree Niramaya Ayurveda Kendra, Pune (INDIA). www.cozwecare.org www.cozwecare.org
  • 2. • Life is journey from a pain (birth) to a pain (death)...Pain is a dear friend who walks along and tells when something is wrong. • ‘Pain’ is not just a complaint. A whole system of medicines, methods and money revolves around ‘Pain’. www.cozwecare.org
  • 3. Killing Pain • It is an instant reaction for so many of us when pain first strikes, we simply pop a pill to relieve our symptoms. • “In a world where everyone is looking for means and medicines to minimize and kill the pain, Ayurveda can be a ray of hope- to understand Pain- As a friend not a foe...” www.cozwecare.org
  • 4. • In my opinion, ‘pain’ is always misunderstood. If we change the way we look at pain, we can certainly find newer ways of controlling, managing and reducing it. • In Ayurveda ‘Shoola’ is the term used for pain. • The term 'Shoola' is generally referred to pain in abdomen. www.cozwecare.org
  • 5. Different Pains according to sites • headache = shira shoola, • backache = prushtha shoola www.cozwecare.org
  • 6. Painful conditions • Osteoarthritis (sandhivata) • Gout • Stress headaches • Migraine • Spondylitis • Frozen shoulder • Backache • Neck pain • Sciatica • Fibromyalgia www.cozwecare.org
  • 7. Pain management in modern medicine www.cozwecare.org
  • 8. Causes of pain in Ayurveda • Pain is an indication of a vata imbalance. • The aggravated vata brings rukshyata (dryness),laghutva (porousness), kharatva (coarseness) which causes the symptom of pain. • Apart from the normal physical causes, the desires for material pleasure (ragas) and passions are considered as causing and aggravating diseases. www.cozwecare.org
  • 9. • We have a natural inclination to seek pleasure and avoid pain, which is termed as kama. • So long as the mind clings to the material pleasure (ragas) and desires, wellbeing in the real sense is unachievable. www.cozwecare.org
  • 10. Tackling pain head-on www.cozwecare.org
  • 11. Ayurvedic management of pain www.cozwecare.org
  • 12. Panchakarma (Detoxification regime) Swedana Nasya Snehana www.cozwecare.org
  • 13. • Pizichili is a therapy where warm oil is continuously applied while the body is simultaneously massaged. • Shirodhara is a continuous pouring of warm oil on the third eye center. www.cozwecare.org
  • 14. Eating the cure • Nutrition is the key to tackling pain symptoms • A satvic diet pacifying to both vata and pitta doshas is recommended. • For general pain-killing ginger herbal tea, Mahanarayan Oil, turmeric and cayenne pepper are very good. www.cozwecare.org
  • 15. Yoga • Brings energy and flexibility to the body • Reduces stiffness of muscles and joints • Controls the mind (citta) • Promote general well-being • Example: – a forward bend (uttanasana), – knees-to-chest(apanasana) www.cozwecare.org
  • 16. Pranayama • Valuable tool to manage pain • Increases the pain threshold • Regulating the breath revitalizes the body • Cultivating a positive state of mind www.cozwecare.org
  • 17. Meditation • Reduces anxiety and stress in painful conditions • Improves mental and emotional states • Helps to improve mood • Make an effort to improve the quality of sleep by meditating or listening to soothing music. www.cozwecare.org
  • 18. Ayurveda aims.. • To bring balance of doshas and eliminate toxins from the body. • Attaining the state of vira or vairagya (detachment from the sensual world and its enjoyments and sufferings) www.cozwecare.org
  • 19. Conclusion • Ranging from common pains like migraine, arthritis to severe pains due to cancers, Ayurveda is a ray of hope to many across the globe. • Simple Yogic postures, basic Panchakarma like snehana/nasya/basti/swedana ,music, mantra, food and herbo-mineral preparations can be used for the specific disease, person or symptom. • Increase in the ‘pain threshold’ and reduction of the causes of ‘Pain’ is a whole new approach towards pain. www.cozwecare.org
