Natural Pain Relief with Ayurveda: 6 Ayurveda Remedies
Updated: Oct 10
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to find ourselves overwhelmed by the stress and strains of daily life. Whether it's from sitting at a desk all day, working long hours, or simply the wear and tear of time, many of us experience aches and pains that can hinder our well-being.
Instead of reaching for over-the-counter painkillers, have you considered the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda for natural pain relief? Ayurveda offers a treasure trove of remedies to help alleviate various types of pain. Let's explore five time-tested Ayurvedic practices that can help you find relief and restore balance to your body and mind.
1. Turmeric - The Golden Spice
One of the shining stars in Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has been shown to help reduce pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. You can incorporate turmeric into your daily routine by adding it to your meals, brewing a soothing turmeric tea, and Golden Milk Turmeric Latte. Embrace the golden spice and let its healing properties work their magic!
2. Ashwagandha - The Stress Reliever
In Ayurveda, ashwagandha is revered for its ability to combat stress and promote relaxation. Chronic stress can contribute to muscular tension and discomfort, making ashwagandha a valuable ally in your quest for pain relief. Whether taken as a supplement or brewed in a calming tea, ashwagandha can help soothe your nerves and ease your body's response to stress.
Please note: Saumya Ayurveda does not recommend using herbs as if they were over the counter or prescribed pharmaceuticals. An experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner will create you a custom herbal formula, special nasya, and customized Ayurveda plan to support the whole you.
Herbs are not Ayurvedic because it comes from India. Nor it is correct for you because it is organic. Herbs become Ayurvedic when used as part your customized Ayurveda plan which is carefully tailored for your constitution. An herb that is balancing to one person for a concern, may be imbalancing to another.
3. Saumya's Transdermal Herbal

4. Sesame Oil Massage - Nourish Your Body
The practice of self-massage, or abhyanga, with warm sesame oil is a beloved Ayurvedic tradition that offers countless benefits. Massaging your body with sesame oil not only helps improve circulation but also nourishes your muscles and joints, reducing stiffness and discomfort. Make this self-care ritual a part of your daily routine and experience the soothing effects of Ayurvedic touch therapy.
5. Ginger - The Digestive Aid
While ginger is commonly known for its digestive benefits, it also plays a significant role in pain management. In Ayurveda, ginger is revered for its ability to alleviate various types of pain, including muscle soreness and menstrual cramps. Enjoy a cup of ginger tea or include fresh ginger in your meals to harness its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Let this spicy root spice up your pain relief routine!
6. Yoga and Pranayama - Align Your Body and Breath
Incorporating yoga postures and breathing exercises, known as pranayama, into your daily routine can be a game-changer in managing pain and promoting overall well-being. Yoga helps improve flexibility, strengthen muscles, and enhance circulation, all of which can contribute to reducing pain and discomfort.
Additionally, pranayama techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing can help calm the mind and alleviate stress, which often exacerbates physical pain. Roll out your yoga mat and embark on a healing journey through movement and breath.
It's time to embrace the natural, holistic approach of Ayurveda. These ancient remedies not only offer relief from pain but also support your body's innate healing mechanisms. 7 Grounding Poses for Vata

There is a saying, "The mind is more in the body, than the body is in the mind." The Saumya 3 step meditation process shifts us from fight-flight-freeze mode, to rest-restore-relax mode. Give it a try for forty days and observe the changes. The more grounded and relaxed we are, the smoother life flows.
"The breath is the connection between the mind and body, so by training the breath, we become calm, focused, and grounded, we slow down the aging process by decreasing stress. These practices are so simple and easy to have as part of our daily life. We actually feel and look younger."
