Hey, sounds like you’ve been through quite a bit with that kidney stone surgery. I get it, urinary issues after something like that can be really uncomfortable. Here’s what might help from an Ayurvedic perspective.
First off, let’s talk about reducing Ama (toxins) and balancing your doshas, especially Vata and Pitta, which might be out of whack due to the stress on your kidneys. You may wanna look into Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) herbs. They can be helpful for supporting the kidneys and soothing urinary discomfort. How about taking them in powder form, 3-5 grams a day? You can mix with warm water, twice daily, but always chat with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting anything new.
Hydration is key, too! Warm water can help, just be cautious, don’t overdo it. And speaking of moderation, cut back on caffeine or spicy, salty foods which can irritate your system. Maybe bring in more barley water or coconut water, they’re so good for cooling pitta and flushing the urinary tract.
And hey, don’t forget your emotional health – stress bogs down those doshas even more. Daily yoga or meditation seshes might get you back on track. Try some Pranayamas such as Anulom Vilom for calming the mind and bringing balance. But start slowly, listen to how your body reacts.
Lastly, your routine matters. Regularity is gold in Ayurveda – regular meals, sleep, and self-care help align everything better. But honest opinion here – if these urinary probs escalate or get weird, don’t waste time – check in with a doc. Ayurveda and modern medicine can hold hands when it comes to your health.
Remember, these are just some simple ideas to get you going. Each body is unique… a real mix of prakriti and factors, so take a holistic approach based on what suits you best. If something doesn’t feel right, adapt!
