Sciatica

Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve travels from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica most often occurs when a herniated disk or an overgrowth of bone puts pressure on part of the nerve. Ayurvedic treatment of Sciatica consists of cleansing herbs that eliminate the toxic build-up and digestive herbs that restore proper digestion. Medicated oils can be applied to soothe the sciatic nerve. Panchakarma, massage therapies are very effective in subsiding the pains of sciatica.
