Abstract

Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, embodies a holistic philosophy that views health as a balance among the bodily energies known as doshas-Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. This holistic approach extends to pain management, where personalized treatments are tailored to harmonize these energies and address the root causes of discomfort. This article explores diverse Ayurvedic modalities, including the use of herbs renowned for their anti-inflammatory properties like turmeric and ashwagandha, dietary adjustments to pacify aggravated doshas, and lifestyle modifications such as specific yoga postures and meditation practices. Additionally, therapies like Panchakarma, a detoxification regimen, are examined for their role in reducing pain and enhancing overall wellbeing by restoring equilibrium within the body's natural systems. Ayurveda's emphasis on personalized care and holistic healing underscores its efficacy in promoting long-term pain relief and wellness.
