I have cervical spondylosis pain on the neck and shoulder area. Physiotherapist says it is severe muscle spasm. I do not use allopathic pain relief gels. I now rely on Ayurveda. For such cervical spasm pain, stiffness, can I mix Dhanvantri oil, Pinda oil, and MahaNarayan oil and apply on the cervical area? If so, in what ratio? Equal? Many many thanks in advance 🙏

You can mix mahanarayan murivenna and rasnadi ghritam 2:2:1. Alongbwih that follow HAIP DIET based on the anti-inflammatory principles of Ayurveda that will help to address the root cause. Also check your Free Autoimmune Analysis and Free Ayurvedic body type Analysis to check the root cause of your ailment. Adding vit d and k2mk7 can do wonders but should be done u der supervision of a Coimbra Protocol specialist .
First of all consult a qualified doctors for better diagnosis.
Lot of additional info is needed for a proper opinion like
1. Your nature of work
2. Is there any radiation of pain frome neck to upper arms
3. Any recurring headache or migraine
4. When is the pain more? Ie in morning or evening or after work or after driving etc or 24 hour pain?
In my experience,applying oil in severe inflammation maybe worsened the spasm. Ideal is applying some ayurvedic lineament or karpooradi thailam within murivenna and giving moist heat / steam with out any massage twice daily.

DO NOT MASSAGE
Apply moist heat only,please avoid hot water bags etc because these are dry heat.
Being a pain management doctor I would like to know the intensity and duration of pain for your cervical spondylosis , before advising any medication i would also like to know whether it is radiating toward your arms , are you feeling any kind of dizziness vertigo , if you want to go for ayurvedic interventions then i would suggest you for greeva basti under supervision of any ayurvedic physician , if you are getting severe pain then go for agnikarma first , consult any ayurvedic physician near your location for better suggestions
Next Steps
No need to mix so many oils as all works on same mechanism
All the above oils have Kaphahara property meaning helps in reducing spasm, instead of mixing all of them, u can initially apply Dhanwantara taila alone which helps in relieving muscle spasm, once stiffness is reduced, but still pain persists due to mild degenration, then go for Ksheerabala taila application
Next Steps
Don't apply much pressure after application of oil, gently apply and do massage
Thanks for trusting Ayurveda and seeking help on authentic platform.
This is the time u need to relie on ur Drs preciseness given him liberty to manage ur pain n general condition
Yes, you can use Ayurvedic oils externally for cervical spondylosis–related muscle spasm and stiffness. A combination of MahaNarayan taila (for stiffness and nerve strengthening), Dhanwantharam taila (for Vata pacification and pain), and Pinda taila (for burning or inflammation, if present) can be beneficial. If you have more of pain and stiffness without burning, you can mix MahaNarayan oil and Dhanwantharam oil in equal ratio (1:1) and apply warm on the cervical and shoulder area with gentle massage followed by hot fomentation. If there is more burning or heat sensation, you may add Pinda oil in smaller proportion (1 part Pinda + 2 parts of the other oils). Regular application once or twice daily with mild hot fomentation will help relieve spasm and improve flexibility.
