Having Deep Vein Thrombosis is definitely no walk in the park, especially if it’s been lurking around since 2019. You realy shouldn’t neglect the symptoms, especially with such bad pain recently. While you’re on English meds right now, it’s good to consider Ayurvedic approaches to manage this condition better.
First things first, ensure you follow whatever your current doctor or specialist suggests. DVT isn’t something to mess around with casually. But if you’re keen on Ayurveda, let’s chat about some complementary steps you might take (after getting your doc’s nod, of course).
In Ayurveda, health is thought of in terms of balancing doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. DVT could possibly link to an imbalance, particularly of Vata, which influences the circulations and movements in the body. Increasing warmth and circulation while reducing stagnation is often the goal.
Try including some ginger and turmeric in your diet. Both have warming properties and can support circulation. A pinch of turmeric in warm milk or water might be soothing, though avoid it if you’re on any blood thinners without talking to your doc first.
Daily gentle leg massages with warm sesame oil could help. Massage direction matters, go from the feet up towards your heart. Do this cautiously and gently. Also, avoiding tight clothing around your leg and sitting or standing for too long.
Practically, try elevating your leg whenever possible during the day. Keep it supported with pillows while you rest.
Yoga is another thing – poses like legs-up-the-wall might be beneficial for circulation but won’t fix things overnight.
But hey, someone in your shoes should always be ready to seek medical attention immediately if anything seems serious. Stay in close contact with your healthcare providers. Don’t drop your meds just because Ayurveda sounds fab – integrate both worlds under guidance. Keep all this in mind while you take steps towards recovery!
