Ayurvedic Treatment of Neuralgia

Neuralgia is a medical condition characterized by severe stabbing and shooting pain in the nerves of the face. The intensity of the pain depends on the level of nerve damage, which may be caused by diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, infections, shingles, or advanced age and long-term nerve degeneration. In many cases, neuralgia pain appears suddenly and worsens over time, affecting daily activities such as eating, speaking, or facial movements. The unpredictable nature of the pain can also lead to emotional stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.

Types of Neuralgia

Neuralgia is broadly classified into the following commonly observed types 1. Trigeminal Neuralgia 2. Post-Herpetic Neuralgia 3. Parasthetica Neuralgia Ayurvedic treatment of these conditions depends on their actual cause and may vary accordingly. According to Ayurveda, neuralgia occurs due to an imbalance in the ‘Vata’ (air element) in the body, which plays a significant role in its occurrence. However, ‘Pitta’ (fire element) can also contribute to neuralgia in inflammatory and acute pain cases. Thus, Ayurvedic treatment focuses on balancing these elements. Vata governs the nervous system, sensory perception, and movement in the body. When Vata becomes aggravated due to stress, ageing, trauma, or improper diet, it leads to hypersensitivity of nerves and chronic pain conditions such as neuralgia.

Ayurvedic Herbs Used in Neuralgia

Ayurvedic treatment for neuralgia involves the use of specific classical herbs, formulations, and medicated oils. Ayurvedic oils help restore the balance of Vata in the body. Some of the most effective herbs for neuralgia include:  Ashwagandha  Brahmi  Curcumin  AgnitundiThese herbs work synergistically to control pain and inflammation in the trigeminal nerve. Ayurvedic herbs also enhance microcirculation within the nerves, ensuring better nourishment and regeneration of nerve tissues. In chronic cases, Ayurvedic treatment may also include therapies such as Nasya (nasal administration of medicated oils), Abhyanga (oil massage), and Shirodhara, which help calm the nervous system and reduce pain intensity over time.

Home Remedies for Trigeminal Neuralgia Disease

Certain home remedies can help relieve neuralgia pain at the primary level:  Always eat a balanced diet.  A balanced diet should contain sufficient protein, carbohydrates, and omega-3 fatty acids, which help in trigeminal nerve treatment. Avoiding cold exposure, excessive fasting, irregular meal timings, and processed foods is also recommended, as these factors aggravate Vata and worsen nerve pain. Maintaining proper hydration and regular sleep patterns supports faster recovery.

Understanding Trigeminal Neuralgia

Among the types of neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia is the most common and severely painful nerve disorder. Identifying its causes and symptoms can help in early treatment and relief.

What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition where stabbing pain radiates from one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. The pain is often throbbing, piercing, and unbearable. It usually affects one side of the face, but in rare cases, both sides may be impacted. The trigeminal nerve is responsible for facial sensation, including the jaw, cheeks, teeth, and gums, which explains why even mild actions such as chewing or brushing can trigger intense pain.

Symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia

 Throbbing pain in the face  Pain triggered by talking, eating, brushing, or shaving  Presence of trigger points on the face that intensify painThe pain episodes may last from a few seconds to several minutes and may occur repeatedly throughout the day, leading to fear, anxiety, and reduced quality of life.

Ayurvedic Outlook for Neuralgia

There is no specific cure for neuralgia, but maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can prevent its onset. Ayurvedic treatment can help eliminate the root cause of neuralgia, ensuring long-term symptom management and reduced recurrence. Ayurveda emphasizes strengthening nerve tissues, correcting digestion, detoxifying the body, and restoring dosha balance. When followed consistently, Ayurvedic treatment aims to reduce dependency on painkillers and invasive procedures.

Medical Astrology and Neuralgia

In some cases, individuals suffer from neuralgia despite being in good health. This could be due to planetary positions in their birth chart. According to Medical Astrology, each of the nine planets is associated with certain diseases, and the 12 houses in the horoscope represent different aspects of life, including health and disease.

Astrological Causes of Neuralgia

 Malefic planets in benefic houses can cause chronic diseases.  Benefic planets in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house may lead to health issues.  Certain planetary combinations influence nerve disorders and neuralgia. Mercury is associated with the nervous system, while Saturn signifies chronic pain and degeneration. Afflictions involving these planets can indicate nerve-related disorders like neuralgia, especially during unfavourable planetary periods (Dashas and Transits).Medical astrology helps identify the karmic and planetary timing of disease manifestation and recovery, allowing personalised remedies such as gemstones, mantras, lifestyle guidance, and dietary corrections aligned with planetary energies.
