Hi

A burning sensation is a particular type of pain distinct from dull, stabbing, or aching pains. A burning kind of pain is often related to nerves, but there are many other potential causes. Injuries, natural wear and tear, infections, and autoimmune disorders

One of the most prevalent reasons for burning pain in the body is damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. This includes the central nervous system, the brain and spine, but also the peripheral nerves that run throughout the body. Several different types of nerve and spine conditions cause burning pain as a symptom
-     Radiculopathy, or a pinched nerve in the spine, is a natural part of aging. It causes burning pain in some cases, but not all
-     Neuralgia is burning pain along a nerve caused by irritation to that nerve. It can be caused by infections like shingles, chemical irritants, pressure from bones or tumors, trauma, or diabetes

Treatment

For the nerve pain of neuralgia or neuropathy, treatment depends on the cause of the nerve damage, or irritation. Treatments may include painkillers, physical therapy to improve range of motion, care for diabetes or shingles, steroid injections to reduce swelling

Drinking Green tea, Ginger tea will be helpful as it consist of antioxidants

Do regular exercise and meditation

Wish You Good Health
