Why do I feel low on energy and low appetite all the time? - #2353

Wow, sounds like your body is trying to tell you a lot all at once. Dealing with high cholesterol, triglycerides, bilirubin, digestion issues, and hair problems can feel overwhelming. But in Ayurveda, we try to look at everything holistically. It sounds like there might be an imbalance in your Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in the body.

Firstly, about your digestive troubles: the shifting between constipation and diarrhea with stomach aches suggest an imbalance in your Agni or digestive fire. Consistent Agni is vital for proper digestion and absorption. Try eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than 3 large ones—this can help ease your digestive process. Include teas like ginger or cumin tea a half hour before meals to ignite Agni gently. Avoid fried and spicy foods as they can inflame your system more.

Hair issues, like dryness, oily itchy scalp, and hair fall, again a sign of excess Pitta, maybe. Coconut oil massaged gently into your scalp can cool and moisturize at the same time. Leave it on for at least an hour or overnight before washing it with a mild herbal shampoo. Avoid very hot water when washing your hair.

On cholesterol, triglycerides, and bilirubin: you might wanna favor a diet rich in whole grains, fresh veggies, especially the bitter ones like bitter gourd which are known to balance Pitta. Guggul supplements are sometimes used in Ayurveda for cholesterol, but check with a practitioner to ensure they fit your specific needs. Also, practice mindfulness in eating—chew thoroughly and don’t multi-task during meals.

For dry eyes, simple things like blinking often, staying hydrated, and using rose water eye drops might give relief.

One thing though: if these issues keep up, do consider seeing a healthcare professional alongside trying Ayurveda. Your body deserves care from all angles, right? Keep on listening to your body and being gentle with it.
