Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in Pitta and Vata dosha, which can cause persistent nausea, dizziness, and mental restlessness. Ayurveda offers gentle yet effective remedies to manage nausea without drowsiness. Elaichi (cardamom) and Shunthi (dry ginger) tea can help settle digestion and reduce nausea. Guduchi and Amla are excellent for detoxifying the system and reducing the impact of medications on the body. You may also try Sukumara Ghrita or Draksharishta to strengthen digestion and calm the nervous system. Avoid spicy, oily, and overly sour foods, as they aggravate nausea. Instead, eat light, warm, and easily digestible meals like rice gruel, moong dal soup, and coconut water. Staying hydrated with jeera (cumin) water or fennel tea can also help prevent dizziness. Gentle Abhyanga (oil massage) with Brahmi or Ksheerabala oil can calm the mind and reduce fatigue. Practicing deep breathing and Shitali Pranayama helps cool excess Pitta and relieve nausea naturally. If nausea persists, Ayurveda recommends Avipattikar Churna before meals to regulate digestion and prevent acidity-related nausea. You can gradually reduce dependency on medications by incorporating these natural remedies consistently.
Feeling off-balance with those side effects sure must be uncomfortable. It’s really good you’re exploring Ayurveda as an option to ease nausea without feeling like a zombie. So, from an Ayurvedic perspective, nausea often relates to an imbalance in the digestive fire, or Agni, and the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. When they get outta whack, digestion and energy levels take a hit.
First off, let’s talk about herbs. Ginger, or Zingiber officinale, is like a superstar for nausea. You can try sipping on ginger tea throughout the day. Just slice a bit of fresh ginger (about a half inch) and let it sit in hot water for 10 mins. Add a bit of honey if needed. It often helps soothe the stomach without making you drowsy. Another gentle herb is peppermint, which can ease nausea naturally. Just don’t overdo it, cause too much can actually irritate the stomach.
For dietary changes, stick to warm, cooked foods. Warmth aids digestion and is usually easy on the stomach. Soups or lightly spiced moong dal khichdi could be just the thing. Avoid heavy, fried, or cold foods. Also, caffeine and very spicy dishes might end up exacerbating the nausea or adding to that anxious feeling. Might wanna skip those for a bit.
You mentioned dizziness and drowsiness, both of which can sometimes be alleviated by incorporating mindfulness practices like yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises). Simple, grounding routines can help balance Vata and keep anxiety at bay.
I recommend consulting with your doctor before mixing Ayurveda remedies with prochlorperazine, just to be safe. In some cases, gradual transition might be more appropriate than going cold turkey. Be mindful of your body’s reaction and start small; everyone’s constitution is different, after all. Keep listening to your body, and I truly hope these suggestions help you find steadiness again.
