I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

Understanding your condition (Ayurvedic + modern view)
1️⃣ Frequent cough & cold (>6 months)
Triggered by weather change → this strongly suggests:
Low immunity
Kapha + Vata imbalance
Possible low Ojas (body resistance)
Vitamin D & B12 deficiency further weakens immune response.
2️⃣ Knee weakness (during jogging / climbing down)
This usually indicates:
Vata aggravation in joints
Early degenerative changes
Muscle weakness due to B12 & D deficiency
Reduced lubrication of joints
This is not severe arthritis yet, and is reversible with diet + supplements + oil therapy.
Integrated Recovery Plan (Very Important)
🟢 PART 1: Stop frequent cough & cold (Core focus)
Daily Ayurvedic immunity protocol:
Morning (empty stomach):
Giloy juice – 15–20 ml with warm water
→ builds long-term immunity
Morning tea substitute:
Boil:
Tulsi leaves (4–5)
Ginger (½ inch)
Black pepper (1 pinch)
Drink once daily
Night:
Chyawanprash – 1 teaspoon with warm milk
(Choose sugar-free if diabetic)
⏳ Results:
Reduced infections in 3–4 weeks
Weather resistance in 6–8 weeks
🟢 PART 2: Correct Vitamin D & B12 deficiency (non-negotiable)
Ayurveda supports, but supplements are essential here
Vitamin D3
60,000 IU once weekly for 6–8 weeks
Then once monthly (maintenance)
20 minutes sunlight (10–11 am)
Vitamin B12
1500 mcg daily (methylcobalamin)
Minimum 3 months
⚠️ Without correcting these, immunity & knee strength will NOT fully recover.
🟢 PART 3: Knee weakness & joint strength
External oil therapy (very effective):
Mahanarayan Taila or Ksheerabala Taila
Massage knees daily at night
Gentle circular strokes, 5–7 minutes
Hot water bath next morning
⏳ Pain & weakness improve in 3–5 weeks
🟢 PART 4: Internal support for joints & muscles
Daily supplements (choose any ONE option):
Ashwagandha churna – 3 g at night with milk
OR
Shallaki (Boswellia) capsule – 1 capsule twice daily
🟢 PART 5: Diet corrections (very important)
Increase:
Warm foods
Turmeric + black pepper
Dates, soaked almonds
Ghee (1–2 tsp/day)
Vegetable soups
Reduce:
Cold water
Curd at night
Ice creams
Bakery items
Excess tea/coffee
Exercise guidance (important for knees)
✔ Best:
Walking
Cycling
Swimming
Quadriceps strengthening
❌ Avoid for now:
Jogging
Stair running
Jumping
Resume jogging only after 6–8 weeks of strengthening.
