Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata. The post nasal drip and mucus in stools point towards aggravated Kapha, while the digestive issues and anxiety resemble a disturbed Vata. Here’s how you can approach these issues with Ayurveda.
1. For Kapha imbalance: To address the post nasal drip, try Nasya therapy. Use Anu Tailam and apply 2-3 drops in each nostril in the morning. This can help clear excess mucus. Avoid cold and heavy foods like dairy, sugar, and fried items as they increase Kapha.
2. For digestive issues: Your feeling of incomplete evacuation and gas suggest low Agni. Start with warm water with lemon and honey in the morning to stimulate digestion. Trikatu churna (a mix of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) taken with ghee before meals can enhance Agni. Half a teaspoon with a bit of ghee should suffice.
3. Anxiety and Vata: Ashwagandha churna can calm Vata disturbances and help with anxiety. Take 1 teaspoon with warm milk or water before bed.
4. Lifestyle: Practice regular yoga and pranayama, focusing on practices like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) and Surya Namaskar. This will balance Vata and Kapha while increasing overall vitality.
5. Digestion: Incorporate hing (asafoetida) when cooking to aid digestion and reduce gas. Regular meals that are easy to digest can normalize your Agni and prevent fluctuations leading to discomfort.
Finally, continue following up with your healthcare provider especially regarding the liver function as you address these aspects. If symptoms worsen, seek immediate medical attention.
