Numbness

Numbness or tingling in the extremities often signals nerve compression or impaired circulation. At AVK, we investigate the root cause — whether cervical, lumbar or systemic — and treat it through nerve-nourishing Marma therapy, herbal bandaging and internal formulations.

The Ayurvedic perspective

How Ayurveda understands numbness.

Numbness (Supti) is a vata disorder where the flow of prana through the nerves is obstructed. Treatment clears the channels (srotoshodhana) through targeted marma stimulation, nourishes nerve tissue via medicated herbal bandaging and restores normal vata movement from within.

Treatment at AVK

How Dr. Akshata Shetty treats numbness.

Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.

01
Marma Point Stimulation

Stimulation of marma points along the affected nerve pathway to restore the natural flow of prana and reactivate sensation.

02
Herbal Bandaging

Medicated oils with nerve-nourishing herbs (Dhanwantaram, Ksheerabala) applied along the affected limb and secured with therapeutic bandages.

03
Medicinal Formulations

Rasayana formulations to strengthen and regenerate nerve tissue — typically over 3–6 months.

04
Lifestyle & Dietary Guidance

Activity modification, gentle nerve-stimulating exercise and a nourishing, vata-pacifying diet.
