AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON PAIN LOWER BACK

The lower back is a fascinating and intricate part of the body that is home to the colon, intestines, uterus, urinary tract, prostate, kidney and spine. Pain in any one of these areas can masquerade as a back ache.

Back Pain from Musculoskeletal Pathology

Back pain that increases with motion, twisting, or bending may be skeletal, a pulled nerve, or herniated disc. Lower back injury can cause back pain.

Stress tightens the hips and may cause you to change your posture unnaturally. Muscle tension and posture changes can create undue stress in your lower back.

Back Pain from Colon Pathology

Pain in your colon can feel like lower back pain. Colic, inflammation, and irritation of the colon is a common cause of lower back pain in Ayurveda. Flushing stagnant bowels can relieve this type of pain in your lower back.

Back Pain from Kidney / Urinary Pathology

Dehydration and kidney stress can also cause lower back pain in the kidney, in the mid to lower back. Vata people may experience pain related to kidney stress after eating diuretic foods like parsley, asparagus or celery. The kidney and lower back are also very sensitive to the cold. Catching a chill can cause your back to tense up.

Kidney and Bladder infection may feel like a back ache. However, the pain will be accompanied by fever and cloudy urine.

Back Pain and Menstruation

Pelvic blood congestion, especially during menstruation, may cause heaviness, pain the vessels, and lower back ache.

Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Pain lower back' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3

PAIN LOWER BACK IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3 - ATTACKING TISSUE

If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.

Symptoms Tell A Story

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharacteristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
