Sciatica

Disease Overview

This pain can be caused by exposure to cold, long periods of sitting or standing in wet areas, or any form of pressure on the sciatica nerve, injury or other reasons. The pain starts near the sternum and spreads through the back of the sternum to the knees, sometimes to the feet. This pain is present from time to time rather than always.

Diet & Regimen Guidelines
  • Aconite Q mixed with one dram, 2 ounces of mustard oil is beneficial. Soaking in a hot water bottle gives instant relief. Beef, hilsa fish, sour and spicy foods are prohibited.
