It sounds like you’ve been dealing with a few health concerns lately. Your description suggests a possible imbalance, maybe in your Pitta dosha, especially since you’ve had jaundice. In Ayurveda, jaundice is often linked to Pitta aggravation, which affects liver function and can lead to weakness and other symptoms.
Here are a few steps from an Ayurvedic perspective that might help:
For diet, you’ll want to focus on Pitta-pacifying foods. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods as well as sour or fermented foods. Instead, include more cooling and calming foods such as cucumber, melons, and sweet fruits. Bitter greens like kale and spinach are also helpful, as they support liver function and cleanse the blood.
Staying hydrated is essential. Drink plenty of water, but you could also try some herbal teas. Cumin and coriander tea is excellent for Pitta balance—just boil a teaspoon of each in water, cool it a bit and sip throughout the day.
Daily routine is important as well. Prioritize getting enough rest, try to go to bed by 10 PM every night and avoid over-exertion. Gentle physical activity, such as yoga or a brisk walk, can help maintain your energy levels without straining your body, aim for a routine that feels right for you.
Herbs like Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) are renowned in Ayurveda for supporting liver health and can be beneficial in your case. It’s best to consult with an ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal supplements to determine appropriate dosage and ensure it doesn’t interfere with any other treatments or conditions you have.
Also, ensure you follow up with your healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic physician periodically to monitor your liver function and overall health. Meanwhile, if you notice any worsening symptoms, such as severe fatigue or yellowing of the skin or eyes, seek medical attention promptly to rule out complications.
