Cervical Spondylosis: Ayurvedic Perspective and Treatment at Ayuraft

Cervical spondylosis, a condition involving the degeneration of the cervical spine, is commonly linked to aging but can also result from poor posture, sedentary lifestyle, or stress. In Ayurveda, this condition is primarily attributed to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which controls movement and stability in the body. When Vata is aggravated, it can lead to the degeneration of tissues and drying up of the lubricating fluids in the cervical spine, resulting in pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Cervical Spondylosis

1. Vata Imbalance:

   • The degeneration of the cervical spine is seen as a manifestation of increased Vata, leading to dryness, stiffness, and roughness in the affected area.

2. Asthi Dhatu (Bone Tissue) Deterioration:

   • The deterioration of bone tissue (Asthi Dhatu) due to aggravated Vata leads to the weakening and degeneration of the cervical vertebrae and intervertebral discs.

3. Ama (Toxins) Accumulation:

   • Poor digestion and metabolism can lead to the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body, which may exacerbate pain and inflammation in the cervical region.
