Sure, when it comes to Ayurveda, the focus is always about harmonizing the whole body, not just treating a symptom like low platelet count. Your brother’s situation, especially post-dengue, requires a thoughtful approach. Let me suggest a few approaches, but remember, always consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting anything new.
First off, herbs like Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) are commonly recommended. Giloy can enhance the immune system and is often used successfully in cases of low platelets post-dengue. You can prepare a decoction by boiling the stem in water, about 2-3 times a day. It’s gentle on the body but powerful in boosting immunity.
Then there’s Papaya Leaf extract, it’s like a classic go-to remedy in Ayurveda for low platelet count. Crushing fresh papaya leaves and consuming the juice may, well, accelerate platelet production. Daily dosage could be about 30 ml, but it’s super bitter, just a heads-up!
Wheatgrass juice can be another option. It’s literally a nutritional powerhouse, often said to improve platelet count, thanks to its rich chlorophyll content.
Dietary changes also do wonders – make sure your brother’s food is light but nourishing. Moong dal khichdi, pomegranate juice, and beetroot can be great. Avoid heavy, greasy stuff 'cause it taxes the digestive fire (or Agni) and hinders recovery.
It’s hard to tell exact timeframes for improvement as it varies from person to person. But, with consistent care, people usually start noticing changes within a few weeks to a month. Just keep in mind, if there are any signs of complications, do immediately seek professional medical advice.
These plans are meant to be complementary, so don’t downplay your doctor’s advice. Ayurveda is about building health from the ground up, so patience and perseverance will be essential here.
