Doctor's answer:

For sciatica, traditional Chinese medicine offers a variety of herbs that can promote blood circulation and unblock meridians, as well as herbs that help resolve blood stasis to stabilize the condition. However, if you want to take herbal prescriptions, this requires a pulse diagnosis to determine your constitution and then confirm the standard dosage of the herbs. In the short term, you can also consider taking pain relievers, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is important to avoid sitting for long periods.
