What Is Intubation and How Can Ayurveda Support Recovery After This Procedure? - #14971
A few weeks ago, I underwent surgery and had to be intubated during the procedure. My doctor explained that intubation was necessary to secure my airway and help with breathing while I was under anesthesia. The procedure itself went fine, but I’ve been feeling some discomfort in my throat and chest since the tube was removed, and it’s been harder for me to breathe deeply. I’m also dealing with some hoarseness and a sore throat, which has been affecting my voice. I’ve heard that intubation can sometimes cause irritation to the airways or even lead to complications like infections or inflammation. I’m looking for natural remedies that could support my respiratory system and help recover more quickly from the effects of intubation. Can Ayurveda offer any herbs or practices that can help soothe the throat, reduce inflammation, and improve lung function after intubation? I’ve read that herbs like Licorice, Tulsi, and Honey are known for their soothing properties—could they be helpful for my recovery? I’m also curious if certain Ayurvedic breathing exercises or yoga practices can help improve my lung capacity and make it easier for me to breathe deeply again. Has anyone here gone through intubation and found relief using Ayurvedic treatments? What herbs or practices helped you heal and recover from the procedure more effectively?
