Dr RC BAMS MS

Hello Glad you reached out. Let’s talk about what you’re dealing with - at 60, it’s pretty common to see low Vitamin B12 and D, low HDL, high LDL, and that nagging exhaustion that just doesn’t lift. These aren’t random. They’re all connected, and honestly, they’re your body’s way of saying it’s not getting what it needs at a deeper, cellular level.

YOUR CONCERN

Your symptoms fall under a few main buckets: - Rasa–Rakta Dhatu Kshaya: low vitamins, low energy - Agnimandya: weak digestion and poor absorption - Medo Dhatu Dushti: cholesterol imbalance - Ojas Kshaya: constant drowsiness, mental fog - Vata predominance: after 60, this is just a fact of life

If you want the modern diagnosis, it’s things like malabsorption, mitochondrial fatigue, messed-up cholesterol, and early signs of wear and tear.

What do we do about it? Simple: Fix your absorption, feed your tissues, balance your cholesterol, and bring your energy back.

INTERNAL MEDICATION

- Draksharishta: 20 ml with 20 ml water, twice a day after meals. This really lifts fatigue and helps digestion.

- Ashwagandha Lehya or Capsule 1 tsp (or 1 capsule) at night with warm milk. Think of it as your nerve and stamina booster.

- Arjunarishta: 20 ml twice daily. It helps your HDL, protects your heart, and keeps cholesterol in check.

- Triphala Guggulu: 2 tablets twice daily after food. Great for cholesterol and supports your liver and bowels.

- Chyawanprash (low sugar): 1 tsp every morning. boosts immunity and helps you absorb those vitamins better.

About those vitamin deficiencies

From an Ayurvedic view, it’s not really about what you eat, but what you absorb. Weak digestion (Agnimandya) is the real culprit. So yes, keep taking your B12 and D supplements — Ayurveda works alongside them, not against them. But you’ll also need to: - Improve digestion - Support your liver - Stick to a regular daily routine

Diet (this is huge for you)

Skip: - Fried stuff - Bakery foods - Sugar overload - Cold drinks - Processed foods

All of these mess with cholesterol and drag your energy down.

Eat more: - Ghee (about a teaspoon a day) - Warm milk - Soaked almonds (five a day) - Moong dal - Steamed veggies - Fruits like papaya and pomegranate

Lifestyle tips

- Get out in the morning sun for 15 minutes — your best Vitamin D source - Keep up the brisk walks — you’re already on the right track - Aim for sleep before 11 p.m. - Try a daily oil massage (Abhyanga) on your legs and feet - Don’t nap too long during the day

Why are you so drowsy all the time? Your cells just aren’t making enough energy. This isn’t about being lazy or just getting older — your tissues are literally starved.

About your blood pressure medicine (Telma 40): It’s fine with these remedies. In fact, Arjuna and Ashwagandha often help stabilize BP naturally.

At 60, your body doesn’t need more coffee or protein shakes. It needs real nourishment. Warm food, ghee, Rasayana, and a regular routine these are what rebuild your core energy. This isn’t just about fixing symptoms. This is how you age well and feel alive.

Take care, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

AT YOUR AGE OF 60 FEELING DROWSY AND EXHAUSTED FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS IS A CLEAR SIGN THAT THE BODY ENERGY TISSUES AND NERVOUS SYSTEM ARE NOT GETTING PROPER NOURISHMENT EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DOING DAILY ACTIVITY AND HAVE NOT CHANGED YOUR DIET THIS CONDITION IS COMMONLY SEEN WHEN VATA DOSHA GETS AGGRAVATED WITH AGE AND WHEN RASA RAKTA AND MAJJA DHATU ARE WEAK LOW VITAMIN B12 AND OTHER VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES DIRECTLY AFFECT THE NERVES BRAIN AND ENERGY LEVELS AND THIS IS WHY YOU FEEL SLEEPY TIRED AND EXHAUSTED DESPITE REST LOW HDL AND HIGH LDL SHOW THAT MEDO DHATU METABOLISM IS DISTURBED AND THE FAT IS NOT BEING PROPERLY UTILIZED BY THE BODY TELMA 40 FOR BP IS NECESSARY BUT IT CAN ALSO ADD TO FATIGUE WHEN DHATUS ARE ALREADY WEAK SO THE ROOT CAUSE HERE IS DHATU KSHAYA WEAK AGNI AND IMPROPER ABSORPTION

FIRST I WOULD ADVISE CERTAIN INVESTIGATIONS TO UNDERSTAND THE DEPTH OF THE PROBLEM SERUM VITAMIN B12 SERUM VITAMIN D3 COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT THYROID PROFILE LIPID PROFILE FASTING BLOOD SUGAR AND POST PRANDIAL BLOOD SUGAR LIVER FUNCTION TEST AND HOMOCYSTEINE LEVEL THESE WILL HELP US CONFIRM WHY FATIGUE IS PERSISTING AND HOW MUCH DEFICIENCY IS PRESENT

FROM AYURVEDIC SIDE THE TREATMENT SHOULD FOCUS ON NOURISHING NERVES IMPROVING ABSORPTION BALANCING LIPIDS AND SUPPORTING HEART AND BRAIN YOU CAN START ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY WITH WARM MILK MORNING AND NIGHT THIS WILL IMPROVE ENERGY STRENGTH AND REDUCE VATA RELATED FATIGUE TAKE BRAHMI GHRTAM HALF TEASPOON IN THE MORNING ON EMPTY STOMACH WITH WARM WATER FOR BRAIN CLARITY DROWSINESS AND NERVOUS SUPPORT TAKE AMALAKI RASAYANA ONE TEASPOON DAILY AFTER BREAKFAST FOR VITAMIN SUPPORT IMMUNITY AND LIPID BALANCE TAKE ARJUNA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY WITH WARM WATER AFTER MEALS FOR HEART HEALTH HDL IMPROVEMENT AND LDL CONTROL TAKE TRIPHALA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER TO IMPROVE DIGESTION ABSORPTION AND TO REMOVE AMA WHICH BLOCKS NUTRITION

DIET SHOULD BE LIGHT BUT NOURISHING INCLUDE WARM COOKED FOODS USE GHEE DAILY IN SMALL QUANTITY INCLUDE MILK IF DIGESTED WELL SOAKED ALMONDS AND WALNUTS AVOID COLD FOOD BAKERY ITEMS FRIED FOOD AND DRY PACKAGED SNACKS AVOID DAYTIME SLEEP AND LATE NIGHTS CONTINUE DAILY WALKING BUT AVOID OVER EXERTION OIL MASSAGE WITH SESAME OIL TWICE WEEKLY WILL HELP REDUCE VATA AND IMPROVE ENERGY

WITH PROPER RASAYANA THERAPY DIET CORRECTION AND ADDRESSING DEFICIENCIES YOU SHOULD START FEELING IMPROVEMENT IN ENERGY ALERTNESS AND LIPID PROFILE OVER A FEW WEEKS BUT INVESTIGATIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO ADJUST MEDICINES PROPERLY AND TO SEE IF B12 SUPPLEMENTATION IS NEEDED ALONG WITH AYURVEDIC SUPPORT

1.Moringa powder 1 tsp once daily with warm water 2.Arjunarishta 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 3.Shatavari capsules 1 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals 4.Brahmi vati 1 tab at bedtime with warm water

🧘 Supportive Measures

Diet (Ahara): - Add soaked almonds, walnuts, flaxseed, and sesame seeds (raise HDL). - Use ghee in moderation for Rasayana effect. - Include green leafy vegetables, sprouts, and drumstick leaves for vitamins.

Lifestyle (Vihara): - Gentle yoga: Vajrasana after meals, Shavasana for fatigue. - Pranayama: Anulom Vilom and Bhramari for energy and stress balance.

Daily Routine: Morning sunlight exposure for Vitamin D.
