Sciatica

one of the easiest examples to give would be lower back pain - sciatica, generalised dull ache or feeling of pain, restriction of movement etc... This could be considered as Vata related ailments , therefore it may have elements of dryness, being rough, coarse, inflexible and there might be generalised pain - therefore the warm herbal oil helps to lubricate, strengthen, hydrate and saturate the tissues to combat excess Vata.

Sciatica is pain affecting the back, hip, thigh and outer side of the leg, caused by compression of a spinal nerve root in the lower back, often owing to degeneration of an intervertebral disc. Thus Sciatica is nerve pain from irritation of the Sciatic nerve. The pain along with tingling, numbness and weakness start in the lower back and travel downwards through the back of your thigh and outer side of the leg on the affected side.

Musculoskeletal Treatments for sciatica, lower and upper back pain, tightness, knee and elbow problems and restricted movement of the neck, back and shoulder area. This method to treat musculoskeletal disorders is unique.

What are Basti Treatments!?
They are therapies that provide nourishment to a localised point on the body, be it the lower back, between shoulder blades, knee joint or chest / heart area. 

This is done by first prepping the area with a brief massage, then followed by a 'dough well' being placed upon said location to hold a large quantity of warm/ hot herbal infused oil, which is then gently massaged and once the oil has cooled, it is repeated several more times.

This deeply restorative therapy helps to remove and pacify excess doshas with a targeted area. 

The nature of Vata is 'motion' and governs all movement, it is known as 'The king Dosha' as it informs and directs the flow of Pitta and Kapha. Without the information which Vata carries and sends, the other two Doshas are known as 'lame' or 'immobile'. It's said in Ayurveda that the external factors and environment influence the internal environment.

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT PITTA DOSHA

The word 'Pitta' can be seen as 'That which cooks', 'that which will metabolize' and refers to the qualities of:
Heat, warmth, sharpness clarity, oiliness, sensitivity and light. 

The five sub-doshas : 1.Alochaka - located in the eyes and allows the transformation of light into images and helps us digest all visual aspects of life. 2.Bhrajaka - Resides in the skin, provides glow and lustre, digests and metabolizes external factors of heat. 3. Pachaka - The main digestive fire, responsible for digestion, assimilation of nutrients and can be considered the primary source of Pitta, as it resides in the small intestine. 4. Ranjaka - Located in the abdominal organs: Liver, Spleen, Small intestine and Stomach, Ranjaka provides colour and is also within the blood tissue. 5.Sadhaka - Seat of emotions - located in heart and the mind. Discerns right from wrong / truth from falsehood and can be seen within intellect, helps in the digestion of our beliefs and ideas.

In Ayurveda, there are treatments and methods which help nourish these sensory organs and prevent against disease / deterioration.
