How is pain managed in Ayurveda?

Pain arises from either physical or mental illness. Ayurveda terms it as the Soola Roga. Pain can happen in any region of the body; however it is mostly caused by aggravation of a humor called Vatta. Sometimes, associations of other humors with vatta in the body can lead to different types and intensities of pain.

As per the principals of Ayurveda, the merging of five elements of the body in pairs give rise to the basic three types of Doshas, or as stated above the humors. These are specifically termed as vatta dosha, pitta dosha, and kapha dosha. All of the body’s internal functions are balanced by these humors, i.e. any imbalance can lead to ill health and pain. To relieve such pain, the ayurvedic system provides medicines along with the best pain oil in India.

Since vatta is involved for any kind of movement or action happening in the body, hindrance to its flow results in pain.
