Need help with Ayurvedic medicine for old age weakness in my father - #1390

Okay, so, dealing with old age weakness, man, it can be tough but Ayurveda has got some good stuff for that. And it sounds like your father might have a vata imbalance going on. We see stuff like fatigue, joint pain, dizziness tied to it. Solving that could help him get back some pep in his step. First thing, consider having him sip warm milk with ashwagandha powder once daily. Quite a gentle tonic. Just add a teaspoon of ashwagandha to about a cup of milk, bring it to a slight boil, and let him sip it warm in the evening. It's known for boosting energy levels and supports muscles and bones. Chyawanprash is another good suggestion. It’s this Ayurvedic jam packed with amla and other herbs beneficial for rejuvenation. He could take a teaspoon in the morning. It’s also good for immunity and digestion too. For joint pain, Dashmool formulation might work. It's used for tackling inflammation and strengthening bodily tissues. A decoction of Dashmool can be taken, but might wanna consult a local Ayurvedic practitioner just for the dosages or if there's any specific concerning interactions. Oh, and diet’s big too. Keep it warm and freshly cooked foods mostly. Soups, stews, soft-cooked veggies. And ginger tea, it’s superb for improving digestion – which affects energy too. Definitely avoid cold, dry, or really spicy foods, can aggravate vata. Remind him to keep hydrated and maybe do light yoga stretches to keep that circulation going. It helps with the joints too. Gentle walks if he's up for it, just till fatigue doesn’t worsen. Thought I’d mention to keep multivitamins aside for now, let the body balance with natural means and observe any changes. Oh, and any sudden big shifts in his health, see a doctor, no time wasted on that.
