HELLO BIRENDRA,

You’re experiencing “pins and needles” (tingling or prickling sensations) all over your body for a few months This symptoms is medically called “parenthesis”

You mentioned -normal lifestyle and yoga practice -vegetarian diet -vitamin D and B12 were low, corrected but tingling persists -claritin (antihistamine) gives temporary relief

So, your symptoms are not likely due to deficiency anymore- they indicate nerve imbalance or hypersensitivity

In Ayurveda, this problem comes under the category of Vata vyadhi- disorders caused by imbalance or aggravation of vata dosha

WHAT IS VATA? -vata controls movement, sensation , circulation, and nerve impulses in the body -when it becomes dry, cold, unstable, or excessive it cause s-tingling, numbness, stiffness, pain , tremors or weakness

Your symptoms- tingling, pins and needles- show increased and erratic nerve firing, which is a sign of vyana vata vitiation (a subtype of vata governing circulation and sensory flow)

CAUSES -excess fasting or skipping meals -eating cold, dry, raw, or leftover foods -excess physical exertion / over yoga -chronic stres, fear, worry -insufficient rest/late nights -prior vitamin deficiency

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify aggravated vata dosha -rebuild and nourish nerve tissue -improve circulation and sensory function -remove dryness and restore lubrication -calm mind and reduce stress -prevent recurrence by lifestyle correction

Pins and needles sensation, known as paresthesia, can be annoying and often point towards underlying imbalances. From an Ayurveda perspective, such sensations are often linked to a Vata dosha imbalance, which governs the nervous system and bodily movements. Despite your healthy lifestyle and dietary practices, this condition might need a few specific adjustments.

Consider introducing Mahanarayan oil into your routine. A gentle, warm massage of the body using this oil at least twice a week can help pacify Vata and improve circulation. After massaging, take a warm shower to aid absorption and relaxation. Focus on the limbs, neck, and lower back areas, where nerve endings are dense.

Pay attention to your digestive fire, or agni, as it’s the root of Ayurvedic health. Inadequate digestion can lead to toxin (ama) build-up, exacerbating Vata imbalances. Sip on ginger tea with a pinch of hing (asafoetida) before meals to boost agni. Avoid cold, raw, or aerated foods and drinks that might further disturb Vata.

Dietwise, ensure there’s an adequate inclusion of warm sesame oil or ghee in your diet as they’re wonderful for grounding Vata. Cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and oats, and legumes can be soothing. Be cautious of foods that are excessively dry, spicy, or bitter which might aggravate Vata.

Sometimes, Vata disturbance can be linked to psychological stress. Continue your yoga practice, perhaps integrating more grounding poses and pranayama like Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) to calm the nerves.

If symptoms persist, consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner in-person is essential for a deeper, personalized approach. Continuous dependency on over-the-counter medications like Claritin isn’t ideal without understanding the root cause. If there is any rapid change in symptoms, a quick medical evaluation is a top priority to rule out any serious conditions.

Yograj guggulu 1-0-1 Ashwagandha churna 1/2- at night with warm milk Bala churna 1/2 with warm water at morning Dashamoola aristha 15 ml after meals with warm water Do oil massage with warm sesame oil or Bala taila

Pins and needles sensation, or paresthesia, can be a perplexing condition and seems like you’re on the right path addressing vitamin deficiencies. However, persistent symptoms suggest there might be an imbalance in vata dosha, which governs movement and sensory activity. A disharmony here can lead to erratic neurological sensations like the one you’re experiencing.

Firstly, consider gently warming your diet. Favor cooked, spiced, and grounding foods like warm soups, stews, and root vegetables. Enhancing your meals with spices like ginger, cumin, and fenugreek can support digestive fire (agni), helping balance vata. Limiting raw or cold foods may also help.

Another important aspect is oil application, or abhyanga. Daily self-massage with warm sesame oil can nourish the dhatus (tissues) and stabilize vata. Apply warm oil, especially focusing on your limbs and extremities, leave for 15-20 minutes then bathe in warm water.

Practicing regularity and incorporating calming routines into your lifestyle could further alleviate symptoms. Adequate sleep, meditation, and avoiding overstimulation are paramount.

If your tingling continues or worsens, it’s crucial to consult a health professional again as there could be an underlying serious condition that needs addressing promptly. It’s vital not to rely solely on natural remedies if symptoms persist without clear improvement.
