5 Effective Ayurvedic Oils to Alleviate Back Pain & Aches

Back pain is a really common problem among people of all ages, and an effective remedy to ease it is hot oil massages. However, instead of reaching for just any kind of oil, try an Ayurvedic one for a change. Created by combining powerful herbs and other ingredients, these oils help alleviate back pain in no time at all.

1. Mahanarayan Oil:

This popular Ayurvedic oil has analgesic and rejuvenating qualities that sooth and relax sore muscles and tendons. It penetrates deep into the skin and improves blood circulation while flushing out the toxins. For long-term relief from back pain, massage with Mahanarayan oil every day for 3-6 months.

2. Ashwagandha Oil:

In Ayurveda, back pain is often attributed to aggravated Vata dosha. This can be reduced by regular application of Ashwagandha oil. It nourishes the tissues and bones and reduces muscle spasms.

3. Vata Samana Thailam:

Made by mixing sathapushpa, garlic, neem oil and sesame oil, this oil warms the skin and the muscles, thereby reducing back pain and stiffness.

4. Karpooradi Oil:

The main ingredient in this oil is tree camphor, which is considered to be a magic healer. Rubbing slightly warmed oil to the affected area regularly will boost blood circulation and ease numbness. In the long run, this will relieve back pain, muscular ache, and joint stiffness.

5. Dhanwantharam Oil:

Dhanwantaram oil has been used for a long time to rid the body of toxins, boost circulation, and relieve the numb muscles of the back. It’s especially beneficial for those suffering from spondylitis and arthritis.
