A lack of effective and proper treatment for sciatica is even more apparent. Sciatica is a type of lower back pain that usually radiates down the backside of one leg. It’s most often the result of a bone spur on the spine, a herniated disc, or spinal stenosis. All of these back issues can compress the sciatic nerve and cause intense and debilitating pain, inflammation, and numbness in the affected limb.

For years, doctors have searched for a treatment for sciatica without any measure of success. In mild cases, the pain usually subsides after a few days or weeks with anti-inflammatory medications and pain medications. Chronic sciatica usually results in a surgery recommendation from your doctor.

If you’re not ready to take the leap of surgery and don’t want to take pain relievers, muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, antidepressants, and other medications commonly prescribed to manage sciatica, there are alternative solutions. Garlic milk is one such solution.

Garlic milk to relieve sciatica.

It doesn’t exactly sound like a beverage of choice. However, this sciatica remedy has been around for centuries in ancient ayurveda practices and has quite a positive track record in treating back pain.

Garlic improves circulation and cardiovascular health to get more blood flow where it needs to go. It strengthens the immune system and reduces inflammation responses. It’s been studied in everything from cancer prevention to curing infections. Combine these potent properties with the calcium, protein, and vitamin b12 from milk for a quick and simple remedy that doesn’t have the risks and side effects of other back pain treatments. You’ll need to drink garlic milk once per day. Do remember that garlic is a natural blood thinner. Always consult with your physician if you’re already taking a blood thinner.

The recipe for garlic milk only has three ingredients and three steps:

• 8 ounces of milk

• 3-4 cloves of crushed garlic

• 1/2 tsp of honey

Step one: in a small saucepan, bring milk and crushed garlic to a slow boil over low heat; stir often and remove from heat as soon as the mixture boils.

Step two: add honey.

Step three: drink.
