What role does Ayurveda play in pain management?

Ayurveda offers various techniques for pain management, focusing on treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms. Commonly used methods include herbal remedies, dietary changes, and therapies such as Abhyanga (oil massage) and Shirodhara (oil pouring on the forehead). Herbs like Ginger and Turmeric can be effective due to their anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a balanced lifestyle, including yoga and mindfulness practices, to manage pain holistically. Always consult your NHS healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
