Cervical Spondylosis
Cervical Spondylosis is a kind of Arthritis that affects cervical vertebrae and is characterized by pain at the back of the neck
(radiating towards the upper limbs) and vertigo while bending downwards. There might be sensory loss and numbness in the upper
limbs. In Ayurveda, it is known as Grivasandhigatvata. There are some degenerative changes in the cervical vertebrae. This, when
coupled with trauma or incorrect posture while sitting or sleeping leads to the manifestation of Cervical Spondylosis.

Causes
Aggravated Vata Dosha (Ayurvedic humor representing Air) causes the degeneration of tissues and the joints of the neck. Vata
aggravation is caused by the intake of dry, cool, light, stale, and gas forming foods; having food in small quantity; increased gaps
between meals; having more of sour, bitter, and astringent foods; late night work schedules; smoking; and a lifestyle involving
overindulgence in physical, mental, and sexual activities.

Symptoms
Headache
Stiffness in the neck
Tingling & Numbness in arms
Pains on back of neck & shoulders

Ayurvedic View
The focus of Ayurvedic treatment in cases of Cervical Spondylosis is on paci cation of the aggravated Vata by improving digestion
and enhancing the digestive re. This treatment is followed by administration of herbal medicines that foster rejuvenation of body
tissues. Panchakarma massage therapy has also shown positive results in treating cases of Cervical Spondylosis.

Home Remedies

vata.
