Low Vyadhikshamatva (Immunity): Your body’s natural defense system is overwhelmed, leading to a “revolving door” of infections. Allergic Sensitivity: Constant exposure to allergens in a body with high Kapha leads to immediate inflammation. Chronic Sinus Congestion: If the previous cold never fully clears, the residual mucus becomes a breeding ground for the next flare-up. Ayurvedic Management 1. Simple Home Remedies +1 Golden Milk: Drink a cup of warm milk with half a teaspoon of Turmeric (Haridra) and a pinch of black pepper at night. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic. Ginger-Tulsi Tea: Boil fresh ginger and 5-6 Tulsi leaves in water. Drink this warm 2-3 times a day to kindle your digestive fire and clear mucus. Trikatu Churna: A mix of Sunthi (dry ginger), Pippali (long pepper), and Maricha (black pepper). Taking a small pinch with honey before meals can 2. Traditional Procedures 3. Diet & Lifestyle Shifts Ayurvedic Approach to Freque… Nasya: Applying 2 drops of Anu Taila or warm sesame oil in each nostril every morning can strengthen the nasal mucosal lining and prevent allergens from irritating the system. Steam Inhalation: Inhale steam with a drop of Eucalyptus oil or a few Ajwain (carom) seeds to clear the sinuses. Avoid “Abhishyandi” Foods: Strictly limit curd (yogurt), bananas, citrus fruits at night, and cold drinks. These increase mucus production. Eat Warm: Prioritize freshly cooked, warm meals. Add spices like cumin, cinnamon, and cloves to your cooking. Early Dinner: Ensure your last meal is light and eaten at least 3 hours before sleep to prevent Kapha buildup overnight.
Hello I get how frustrating it is to keep getting colds with all the sneezing and stuffiness, especially when it’s been going on for a year. It’s more than just a regular cold at this point—it’s a long-term thing with your immunity and Kapha, but the good news is, it can be fixed. YOUR CONCERN You’re an adult, and here’s the deal: – You’ve had a cold every other day for over a year. – Lots of sneezing, runny nose, and congestion. – You need meds all the time. – There’s no real reason for it. It’s really messing with how you live your life. WHAT AYURVEDA SAYS This sounds like Pratishyaya + Kaphaja Avarana It happens because: – Your digestion is a bit weak (Mandagni). – You’re making too much Kapha. – Your immunity is down (Ojas kshaya). – You keep getting viral infections. Every time you take medicine for a cold, it hides the symptoms, but your Kapha and immunity are still weak, so it comes back. WHY THIS IS HAPPENING Your system’s got: – Too much mucus – Weak nasal immunity – Not-so-great digestion – You’re sensitive to cold So even a little dust, a fan, AC, or some cold food can set off another cold. HERE’S THE AYURVEDIC FIX ✅ Get Rid of Kapha in Your Nose & Chest 1.Sitopaladi churna ½ tsp twice a day with honey 2 Talisadi churna ½ tsp twice a day 3 Trikatu churna ¼ tsp after eating ✅ Build Up Your Immunity 1.Guduchi 500 mg twice a day 2.Chyawanprash 1 tsp in the morning 3.Amla powder 1 tsp daily ✅NASAL CARE (Super Important) Every morning: –Put 2 drops of Anu Taila in each nostril It’ll keep your nose safe from infections. DIET PLAN ❌AVOID –Cold drinks –Ice cream –Curd at night –Banana –Fried stuff –Bakery stuff ✅INCLUDE –Warm water –Ginger tea –Turmeric milk –Simple homemade food –Soups HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? This is a long-term Kapha thing. With this plan: – You’ll feel 50% better in 2–3 weeks. – You’ll feel 80% better in 6–8 weeks. – You’ll have lasting immunity in 3 months. IMPORTANT Don’t keep using antibiotics or cold syrups—they’ll just make your immunity weaker. ONE LAST THING –It’s not just your nose that’s weak— –It’s your immunity and too much Kapha. –Once we fix that, the colds will stop coming. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HAVING FREQUENT COLDS EVERY ALTERNATE DAY FOR SUCH A LONG TIME SHOWS THAT THE BODY DEFENCE SYSTEM IS LOW AND THE RESPIRATORY PASSAGES ARE REMAINING IRRITATED THIS IS WHY INFECTIONS KEEP RETURNING EVEN AFTER TAKING MEDICINES WHEN COLDS ARE SEVERE AND REQUIRE MEDICATION EACH TIME IT USUALLY MEANS THAT THE ROOT CAUSE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED FACTORS LIKE POOR SLEEP IRREGULAR MEALS LOW DIGESTIVE STRENGTH STRESS OVERUSE OF COLD FOODS OR CONTINUOUS USE OF STRONG MEDICINES CAN WEAKEN NATURAL RESISTANCE OVER TIME USING ONLY OVER THE COUNTER MEDICINES MAY GIVE TEMPORARY RELIEF BUT THEY DO NOT BUILD IMMUNITY AND MAY DRY OR IRRITATE THE AIRWAYS WHICH MAKES THE NEXT EPISODE COME BACK FASTER THIS CREATES A REPEATED CYCLE OF COLD MEDICINE AND RELAPSE IMPROVING DAILY ROUTINE IS VERY IMPORTANT REGULAR SLEEP WARM HOME COOKED FOOD AVOIDING COLD DRINKS ICE CREAM AND REFRIGERATED FOODS AND PROTECTING FROM DUST AND SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES CAN REDUCE FREQUENCY STEAM INHALATION WITH PLAIN WATER ONCE DAILY WARM SALT WATER GARGLES AND KEEPING THE NOSE AND THROAT HYDRATED CAN HELP THE RESPIRATORY TRACT RECOVER OVER TIME SUPPORTING DIGESTION AND OVERALL STRENGTH IS KEY TO STOP RECURRENCE IF THIS HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS FOR ONE YEAR IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK FOR ALLERGIES SINUS INVOLVEMENT VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES SUGAR LEVELS AND SLEEP QUALITY ONCE THESE ARE ADDRESSED ALONG WITH IMMUNITY SUPPORT THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF COLDS CAN REDUCE WITH THE RIGHT SUPPORT AND CONSISTENCY THIS CONDITION CAN IMPROVE AND THE BODY CAN REGRAIN ITS ABILITY TO FIGHT INFECTIONS RATHER THAN FALLING SICK REPEATEDLY
HELLO, From an Ayurvedic view, this pattern usually points to 1) PRATISHYAYA (chronic cold/rhinitis) repeated colds indicate jeerna pratishyaya (chronic stages) 2) DOSHA INVOLVEMENT -Kapha Dosha -> mucus, heaviness, congestion -Vata dosha-> recurrence, dryness, fluctuating symptoms -Sometimes pitta if there is burning, yellow discharge, or fever 3) ROOT CAUSE (VERY IMPORTANT) -Low agni (digestive fire)-> formation of Ama (toxins) -Weak Ojas (immunity)-> body unable to resist even mild exposure -OTC medicines suppress symptoms but do not correct the root, so the cold keeps coming back STEP BY STEP MANAGEMENT 1) CORRECT DIGESTION AND REMOVE AMA Without fixing digestion, immunity medicines won’t work well MORNING ROUTINE -warm water + 1/2 tsp dry ginger powder -OR warm water + 10 drops lemon if no acidity HERBAL SUPPORT -TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily before meals with honey =improves digestion, clears kapha 2) STRENGTHENING IMMUNITY -CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp morning daily =best taken with warm milk or water -GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals This is one of the best for recurrent infections 3) RESPIRATORY SPECIFIC MEDICINES -SHITOPALADI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily with honey after meals =clears mucus, improves lung strength -TALISADI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey after meals =if heaviness and chest congestion NASAL THERAPY= ANU TAILA -instill 2 drops in each nostril empty stomach, morning do this daily for 21 days =this alone can reduce recurrence significantly DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -moong dal -vegetable soups -ginger, black pepper, turmeric in cooking AVOID -cold water -curd at night -ice cream, bakery items -fried and oily food -bananas LIFESTYLE CHANGES -avoid sleeping during daytime -cover head and neck from wind -do not suppress sneezing -avoid AC directly on face HOME REMEDIES -Turmericmilk at night -Steam inhalation= plain steam or add ajwain once daily at night DURATION OF TREATMENT Since this is going on for 1 year, expect -Noticeable improvement= 2-3 weeks -Reduced recurrence= 1-2 months -Complete stabilization= 3 months with discipline DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.
