I Tried Ayurveda Like Raila & Rosemary Odinga 😳 4-Year Back Pain, Cupping & Shockwave | Day 1

I've had chronic lower back pain for about 4 years and tried all sorts of solutions. So I went to AYU Panchkarma in Nairobi to see Dr Vinod. Day 1: a pulse diagnosis, what he says is causing the pain, a toilet tip you won't forget, and then my first treatment session: shockwave therapy, a warm herbal-oil (Abhyanga) massage, cupping, Kati Vasti and red-light heat. Raila and Rosemary Odinga famously went to India for Ayurvedic treatment. I found the same kind of treatment right here in Nairobi. I'll keep you updated on this journey. Tell me in the comments: have you ever tried Ayurveda or cupping? 📍 AYU Panchkarma – 1st Parklands Avenue, opposite MP Shah Hospital, Nairobi 📞 +254 743 499 523 | 🌐 ayurance.com | Mon–Sat 8am–7pm 0:00 Intro 0:12 Meeting Dr Vinod 0:37 Pulse diagnosis 0:52 What's causing my back pain 1:31 The treatment plan 1:58 Vasti… from the back?! 😳 2:38 Doc's toilet tips 4:06 Session 1: the treatment 4:10 Shockwave therapy 4:31 Abhyanga warm oil massage 5:13 Pain-relief device 5:37 Cupping (dry vs wet) 6:21 Kati Vasti 6:48 Red-light heat 7:07 Day 1 done This is my personal experience, not medical advice.
