You’ve taken some good steps already, but it seems like there’s more to address here. If you’ve completed Panchakarma and are on Kanchanar Guggulu DS for the thyroid with some improvement, that’s a sign you’re on the right track… but let’s look deeper.
First, let’s consider your lifestyle. Being in IT, with a sedentary lifestyle can be hard on kapha dosha, which might be adding to weight issues and affecting thyroid function. So, try to incorporate more movement into your daily routine. Even short walks every hour or some desk exercises will help. Aim for at least 30 mins of moderate exercise most days of the week.
Next, diet. Focus on a kapha-pacifying diet, which means light, warm, and minimally processed foods. Spices like turmeric, ginger, and black pepper can boost your metabolism. Avoiding heavy, oily, and very sweet foods can help too. Try to eat your main meal around midday when digestion is strongest.
Sleep is also crucial. Make sure you’re getting 7-8 hours of good quality sleep each night. Stick to a regular sleep schedule and avoid screens before bed. Stress management is another area to consider; practices like yoga or meditation might provide relief.
As for panchakarma, repeating it might help, but it’s usually not done back-to-back. Consult with your Ayurvdedic doctor to see when it might be suitable again for you. Maybe a different approach within Ayurveda, anti-Kapha herbs like Trikatu or Shilajit may assist libido concerns, check with your practitioner on this.
Safety net - keep regular contact with your healthcare provider, they can keep an eye on your TSH levels and address any medical concerns. If you ever feel sudden changes or concerns, please reach out to them right away!
Lastly, stay persistent. Sometimes these changes take time but stick with the routine, and see how your body responds. Maybe some trial and error but don’t lose hope.
