Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. It commonly results in pain that starts from the lower back and travels through the hips, buttocks, and down one or both legs. If left untreated, it can affect daily activities, walking, sitting, and overall quality of life.
Ayurveda describes sciatica as Gridhrasi, a disorder mainly caused by aggravated Vata Dosha. The condition develops due to dryness, stiffness, and blockage in the nerve pathways. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on balancing Vata, reducing inflammation, nourishing the nerves, and improving flexibility through natural therapies and lifestyle modifications.
