A platelet count of 96000 is indeed lower than what’s generally normal, and can justify the fatigue and easy bruising your uncle is experiencing. Now, regarding the causes, had he been ill recently? Sometimes after viral infections, like flu or even without specific illness, platelet counts can drop a bit. But since he’s not been diagnosed with a condition like dengue, we can look into how Ayurveda might improve his condition safely.
Ayurvedically, a focus on balancing Pitta dosha might be beneficial, as Pitta governs the blood. A couple of herbs can help. You mentioned papaya leaf juice – that’s often recognized for its potential to boost platelet count. Giloy, or Guduchi, is another fantastic choice to consider for its immune-boosting properties. Yes, these herbs are worth trying, but it’s essential to approach them cautiously and probably with some guidance, because sometimes the dosages vary—usually about 10–20 ml of fresh papaya leaf juice twice a day is a good general starting point, but it’d be nice to have supervision.
Your uncle’s diet might need a little uplift! Ayurveda suggests food with hemostatic and nourishing properties. Include leafy greens and foods rich in Vitamin C, like amla. Aloe vera juice could help too, just for adding that extra nourishment for dhatus—the tissues. Avoid spicy, excessively salty or acidic food as they can aggravate Pitta and might not be best in this situation.
About monitoring, yes, keeping an eye on his platelet count on a periodic month-to-month basis would be wise. Immediate intervention might not feel necessary unless counts continue to drop or symptoms worsen. It’s all about stabilization first.
Lastly, it’s crucial not to delay proper medical care. If you notice any unexplained bleeding or extreme fatigue, rushing to the doctor is smart. Balancing Ayurvedic remedies with regular medical care often provides holistic support. Drop by if his symptoms don’t improve, better to address everything sooner than later, right?
