What Is Measles Treatment and How Can Ayurveda Help in Supporting the Body’s Recovery Naturally? - #16257

I was recently diagnosed with measles, and I’ve been trying to understand the best ways to manage the illness and promote a speedy recovery. Measles is a viral infection that causes symptoms like fever, cough, and a distinctive red rash, and while I know there are medical treatments for measles, I’m curious if Ayurveda offers complementary treatments that can help in recovery and in boosting immunity during this time. From what I understand, measles is a highly contagious virus that spreads through the air, and it can lead to severe complications, especially in children or those with weakened immune systems. What I don’t fully understand, however, is why some people experience more severe symptoms of measles than others. Does the severity of the disease depend on the person’s overall health or immune system, and how can we manage it more effectively from a natural perspective? I’ve read that Ayurveda places a great emphasis on strengthening the immune system (Ojas) to fight off infections like measles. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs like Amla, Guduchi, or Tulsi that can boost immunity and help reduce the severity of measles symptoms? How do these herbs help with inflammation and fever, and are they generally recommended during viral infections? Additionally, Ayurveda often recommends specific dietary changes to support the immune system during an infection. Should I focus on eating light, easy-to-digest foods, and should I avoid foods that could increase internal heat, such as spicy or fried foods? Does Ayurveda also recommend drinking herbal teas, such as ginger or chamomile, to reduce inflammation and help with the symptoms of measles? Another aspect I’m curious about is whether Ayurveda recommends certain therapies or treatments, such as steam inhalation or herbal poultices, to help alleviate symptoms like coughing, nasal congestion, or body aches. Are there other Ayurvedic remedies that can help soothe the symptoms of measles, especially for respiratory issues and rashes? If anyone has dealt with measles and used Ayurvedic remedies to support recovery, or if you have any insights into managing the disease naturally, I would love to hear about your experiences and what worked for you.
