So glad to hear you're out of the dark clouds already. It reminds me my 2022 when my father had to go through a major surgery and my mom had to go through a lot of pain due to Sciatica.

The allopathic medicines didn't work in my mother's case and I wasn't sure about the surgery or any therapy can definitely cure sciatica. I ultimately decided against allopathic treatment for her. I searched the old books of Ayurvedic medicine and found a definite treatment of Sciatica by mixing two herbs — nigh jasmine and saffron flower. I also found some yoga that would help in relieving the pain and relaxing sciatica nerve, that I told my mother to keep doing forever, she stilll does. That medicine worked wonders and within a month my mom was absolutely fit and fine.

Now for small health issues, I don't let anyone from my family to see a doctor. We first attempt home or Ayurvedic medicine. For me, it's been more than 10 years, and for my family it's been almost 2 years now when we last saw a doctor, except obviously for my wife.
