Hello Thank you for sharing your concern in such detail. I understand that you’re experiencing nasal congestion after starting Mukta Vati, which otherwise works well for controlling your blood pressure. But don’t worry we are here to help you out 😊
✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF MANAGEMENT
✅Nasal Congestion Relief
Local Therapies 👉Anu Taila Nasya
Instill 2 drops of warm Anu Taila in each nostril daily morning after bathing and mouth cleansing Sit calmly for a minute after application.
Benefits- Clears nasal block, improves breathing, strengthens the nasal mucosa, and balances Vata-Kapha doshas.
👉Steam Inhalation-
Add Ajwain or Tulsi leaves in hot water and inhale the steam for 5 minutes twice daily. This liquefies Kapha and opens up nasal channels (Srotoshodhana).
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
Sitopaladi Churna – ½ tsp with honey twice daily after food Helps to clear nasal pathways, balance Kapha, and strengthen the respiratory system.
Tulsi-Ginger-Black Pepper Tea twice daily. Acts as a mild expectorant, improves circulation, and balances Kapha-Vata.
(Note: Avoid taking these immediately along with Mukta Vati. Keep a gap of at least 30 minutes.)
✅ADJUSTMENT OF MUKTA VATI DOSE
Continue Mukta Vati after food, not on an empty stomach.
Avoid cold water with it; instead, take it with lukewarm water.
If congestion persists even after supportive measures, reduce the dose to half tablet twice daily for a week, then resume full dose once symptoms subside.
Usually, the nasal congestion settles within 7–10 days as the body adapts.
✅ DIET MODIFICATION
✅ Include
Consume warm, freshly cooked light meals such as moong dal khichdi, vegetable soups, and millets. Add digestive spices like black pepper, cumin, coriander, dry ginger, cinnamon, and turmeric in daily food. Keep body warm, especially during early morning and night. Stay active – gentle morning walk or yoga helps regulate circulation and Kapha balance.
❌ Avoid
Avoid cold, heavy, or oily foods, particularly curd, banana, milk at night, and cold drinks. Do not sleep immediately after meals. Avoid direct exposure to cold wind or staying in air-conditioned rooms for long periods. Refrain from day sleep (Diwaswapna), which aggravates Kapha and blocks nasal channels.
✅ SUPPORTIVE YOGIC AND LIFESTYLE PRACTICES
Pranayama: Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) – 5 minutes morning and evening. Bhastrika – short bursts of inhalation and exhalation to clear sinuses and energize the system.
Sleep Hygiene: Maintain a regular bedtime, avoid late-night screen use, and ensure adequate rest to maintain Tridoshic balance.
Wishing you a good health😊
Warm Regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate
