As an Ayurveda doctor, I understand that managing chronic conditions like sinusitis, cough, and diabetes requires a holistic and individualized approach. In Ayurveda, we focus on balancing the doshas, particularly Kapha (which governs mucus and congestion) and Vata (which governs dryness and the respiratory system), to address the root causes of sinusitis and chronic cough. Herbal remedies like Tulsi, ginger, and Pippali can help clear congestion and soothe the respiratory tract. For diabetes, Ayurveda emphasizes regulating blood sugar through diet, lifestyle changes, and herbs like Bitter Melon, Fenugreek, and Gymnema. Along with this, we would focus on strengthening the digestive fire (Agni) to enhance metabolism and manage blood sugar levels more effectively. Detoxification through Panchakarma therapy might also be beneficial for cleansing accumulated toxins (Ama) and improving overall health. It is important to work with both your primary healthcare provider and an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure your treatment plan is well-coordinated and does not interfere with any ongoing medications. A combination of diet adjustments, herbs, stress management, and proper exercise can support your body’s healing process and provide long-term relief.

Sinusitis and a chronic cough for so long, wow, that sounds rough. And diabetes acting up too. Your interest in Ayurveda is great though, it looks at all these issues together.
Now with that HbA1c at 13, that’s pretty high! It’s super important to keep working with your current healthcare provider on that, but Ayurveda can definitely support you on this journey. Diabetes, or Prameha as we call it in Ayurveda, often relates to kapha and vata dosha imbalances. First things first, diet matters a ton here. Focus on foods that are light, warming, and easy to digest, like millets, whole grains like barley, and legumes in proper amounts. Avoid white sugar and refined foods, those create havoc on the blood sugar. Spices like turmeric, cinnamon, and fenugreek can help, you can include these in your daily meals.
For sinusitis, it's often linked with kapha accumulation, sometimes vata too. Nasya treatment, where medicated oils or herbs are administered in the nose, can be real effective. Try steam inhalation with eucalyptus or peppermint oil too, but careful with it, don't overdo. With that cough, you might find tulsi tea soothing, it's known to help with respiratory issues.
Lifestyle-wise, make time for some gentle exercises, like yoga or brisk walking. Sevral Asanas can balance doshas, keep agni strong. Consistency in waking, sleeping and eating times strengthen your body's natural rhythms.
And remember, any big changes to your treatment should involve chat with your doctors about potential interactions, especially with diabetes meds. Ayurveda can integrate well with modern medicine—no need to toss out your meds completely if they’re helping. Stay mindful always, living an ayurvedic lifestyle being a long-term commitment, be gentle with yourself.
