Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition affecting the trigeminal nerve, which carries the sensations from the face to the brain. Trigeminal neuralgia may causes severe pain even after a mild stimulation of the face. Even the act of brushing the teeth and washing the face can trigger a jolt of intense, excruciating pain. The natural treatment for trigeminal neuralgia with the help of ayurvedic approach may provide relief from the pain and other symptoms of this disorder. [1]
The trigeminal nerve has three branches that are responsible for the sensations in the face and regulating chewing. Trigeminal neuralgia occurs when this nerve is inflamed resulting in intense pain. It is also called tic douloureax because the pain is so severe that it can force the patients to contort the face into grimaces. This obvious movement is called a tic. Ayurveda offers an alternative treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, which prevents the bouts of pain caused due to the minimal stimulation of the trigeminal nerve.
The pain caused due to trigeminal neuralgia can occur in an isolated episode or every few minutes, or seconds. Some patients experience long asymptomatic periods spanning over several months or years between the attacks. However, in some patients, it can lead to a chronic pain syndrome, and affect their daily activities significantly.
This can increase the risk of depression and anxiety disorders. Such complications can be avoided by seeking trigeminal nerve pain relief at home using herbs that can calm the nerve, produce an analgesic effect, and provide relief from the symptoms.
Trigeminal neuralgia usually afflicts the people above 50 years of age. The incidence of this disease is higher in the women than in the men. It has been found to affect the right side of the face 5 times more commonly than the left.
Trigeminal neuralgia is sometimes related to multiple sclerosis, a disorder that occurs due to the damage to the myelin sheath protecting the nerves. It may also occur due to a tumor mass pressing on the trigeminal nerve.
Some rare causes of trigeminal neuralgia include a brain lesion, surgical injury, stroke, and facial trauma.
Signs and Symptoms Trigeminal Neuralgia
Some patients may experience short, and mild attacks of trigeminal neuralgia initially. However, the disease may progress over a period of time and cause longer, and more frequent bouts of facial pain. Some signs and symptoms of this disease are discussed beneath:
Patients experience episodes of severe, jabbing, or shooting pain that feels like an electric shock and radiates to different parts of the face
Constant burning and aching sensation
The pain is felt in the areas supplied by the trigeminal nerve, such as the cheek, teeth, jaw, gums, eye, forehead, and the lips.
The pain is focused at one spot or may spread in a wider pattern
Spontaneous attacks of pain that is triggered due to the factors like touching the face, speaking, chewing, or brushing the teeth. Some other factors that may trigger the pain of trigeminal neuralgia include eating, drinking, shaving, talking, encountering a breeze, putting on makeup, and smiling.
The pain usually affects one side of the face during an episode. However, in rare cases, the symptoms may affect both the sides.

Ayurveda stads for extensive and elaborate clinical examination to understand thenature of the disease
I consulted Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic for my teenage son to improve his height. He was 4.11 at 13. I was very worried as we are not tall parents and I thought to do something natural soon before its too late. I took a phone consultation with Dr Saini at Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic. Range of dietary, lifestyle changes were suggested and some Ayurvedic medicine was posted to me. I am very happy to say that with in six months, my son has shown a significant improvement in height. His family and friends have all acknowledged the improvement in height. I highly recommend Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic for natural height improvements.
3+ years ago just before covid hit, I had sudden intolerance to a string of food predominantly gluten, cow's milk, egg and night shade vegetables. Energy was low and brain was foggy. I consulted and tried other treatments but minimal improvement. I was recommended to Drs Saini and Pooja by a friend who came out of her issues after ayurvedic treatments. Without hesitation, i consulted and started my ayurvedic journey 2+ years ago. It was the best decision I made. During those time, I had 2 sessions of panchakarma treatments. 2+ years later, I can now confidently say that I am able to incorporate gluten and cows milk products into my diet without any issue. My energy is back to normal and the other bonus for me is that unnecessary food cravings have diminished. I am very grateful and appreciated Drs Saini & Pooja's dedication and patient throughout my ayurvedic journey...
I am with Dr Saini from last 4+ years. I reached to him after my cancer surgery four years ago...then I was in distress and looking for right guidance and support. With Dr Sahni help, I was treated for chronic constipation, lack of sleep and energy and emotional eating recovery...which helped me achieve better health. Many thanks to him for the same and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for similar support.
I thoroughly recommend Ayurveda Doctor Gurnam Saini! He is fantastic. I was feeling depressed with low moods and low energy, I'd put on weight and was experiencing hair loss. I saw results with my energy and mood after only a few days of treatment and after three months I have been gradually losing weight and my hair is becoming thicker and fuller. His Ayurveda herbs and supplements definitely do the trick, and his dietary recommendations are pretty easy to implement into your lifestyle. If you're feeling like your overall health and well-being could be better I recommend giving this a try.
I strongly recommend Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic to anyone who is looking into natural and organic health benefits. I consulted Ayurvedic Doctor Dr Gurnam Saini for hair loss treatment, as I had almost tried everything from expensive hair products to medicine for years and was highly disappointed. Dr Saini was very detailed and made me understand how lot of factors including my digestive fire, my sleep, my lifestyle etc. were directly impacting my hair health. I was highly impressed with his knowledge and his passion about getting me to understand the root cause. I clearly figured out how I was not in sync with my body. I am actually surprised that these organic ayurvedic medicines are very effective, as that was not my immediate expectation and I thought it will be a very lengthy process, but I was ready to give it a go! He also gave a me a specific ayurvedic organic hair oil to put on my scalp. It's been 3 months and I have almost completely stopped loosing hair and gaining more volume in my hair. I also found that taking shirodhara and nasya and head massage ayurvedic therapies of Dr Saini's recommendation was also important part of the treatment. I now feel more connected to my body and definitely my hair growth is visible to me and my family. Thank you Dr Gurnam Saini and Dr Pooja Saini (for those amazing therapies). You guys are working for a great cause.
Dr. Gurnam and Pooja both are very knowledgeable and friendly. Ayurvedic treatments provided in the clinic were very effective, specially panchkarma. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking for ayurvedic and natural treatments.
I was suffering from ibs from a long time urgency to go to toilet and mucus in stool . Even I ordered medicine from India but it wasn’t work and proper guidelines there, they just there for sale the medicine only . Dr shani only one months medicine improved 80% of my gut problem . If anyone suffering from symptoms like ibs or gut issue I will definitely recommend to visit dr shani clinic .
After struggling for years with energy levels, food intolerances and sleep issues with our daughter, we tried Dr Saini. The results for her have been outstanding. Her food intolerances (she was on a strict FODMAP diet) have all but disappeared. Her sleep is consistent and better. Her ability to regulate herself across an entire day (without falling into a heap) has improved her life quality 100 fold. His approach is thoughtful and considered. We always feel like he listens to all aspects of her health and adapts his methods to what she needs next. I would highly recommend working with Dr Saini to anyone considering it.
I decided to take my 10 yr old daughter to Dr Saini after 9.5 yrs of struggling with eczema and food intolerances, and no solutions found but topical, long term use of cortisone creams. After only one month, we saw massive improvements in her skin, finally clearing up the majority of her eczema. This was done with herbal capsules and without needing to remove various foods from her diet. That improvement allowed us to tackle other health concerns like her consistent disturbed sleep. Now 4 months on, her skin is perfect, and her sleep is mostly uninterrupted. Any sporadic nighttime waking is for a very short period of time. And even better, now we can focus on her digestion which is my last concern for her. I can’t recommend Ayurvedic medicine enough to gently and naturally heal and balance out your body. l had done lots of reading on Ayurveda before we tried it, and all my expectations have been met and I’m sure will be exceeded in the near future. Thank you Dr Saini, for your kind and gentle consultations, and genuine interest in better health outcomes for your patients.
I cannot recommend highly enough. This has been my first experience with Ayurvedic medicine and the Panchakarma cleanse and I can finally say that after years of striving for better health and wellbeing, I finally understand what is going to work for me moving forward. Having experience a traumatic event and subsequent PTSD 5 years ago, my gut and my body became increasingly compromised. In this time I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome and various ailments of the gut. I came to see Dr Saini and Pooja at a time that I felt frustrated with my years of work to see some more obvious progress with my healing. Having completed the Panchakarma cleanse, I am feeling fully renewed. Awake. Settled. I no longer struggle to wake each morning and get through each day. My appetite feels steady and all cravings have completely ceased. I now have some tools under my belt to fall back on when I know my digestive system needs a break. This cleanse has been a complete game changer. Thankyou Dr Saini and Pooja for you incredible guidance and support. Liz
Meeting Dr, Saini has been a blessing here in Melbourne. I've always believed in holistic health and I was looking for a practitioner who could not only treat some deficiencies but bring my health up to speed.
