I feel sleepiness & lack of energy.

Question

I feel sleepiness and lack of energy. I don't feel freshness in mind after getting up. I got my full body checkup done and the report indicates that my vitamin D levels are very low and cholesterol is slightly above the maximum limit and bilirubin & some other liver parameters are slightly above the limit and there are some bacteria and nitrate in my urine. Also, platelet size is increased.

Dr. Harsha Joy · Accepted Answer

your symptoms of sleepiness, lack of energy, and feeling unrefreshed upon waking, combined with low vitamin D, elevated cholesterol, liver imbalances, and urinary issues, suggest several imbalances in the body, particularly in Pitta (which governs metabolism and digestion) and Kapha (which governs energy and structure). The low vitamin D could be linked to weak Agni (digestive fire), which in turn affects nutrient absorption and overall vitality. The liver imbalances and increased cholesterol indicate Ama (toxins) accumulation, which is often due to sluggish digestion or improper metabolism. The presence of bacteria and nitrates in the urine points to a possible Vata imbalance and may suggest urinary tract infection or poor kidney function.

To address these imbalances, Ayurvedic treatment would focus on strengthening digestion, detoxifying the liver, and balancing Pitta and Kapha. Herbs like Guduchi (Tinospora), Turmeric, and Amla for liver health, Ashwagandha for vitality, and Trikatu for improving digestion could be helpful. Additionally, a detoxifying regimen (Panchakarma) may be beneficial for cleansing the body of accumulated toxins. A diet that is light, anti-inflammatory, and rich in whole foods, along with lifestyle adjustments like stress management and regular physical activity, would further support your healing process.
