Disease keeps coming back despite treatments, is Ayurveda the solution? - #16530
For the past two years, I’ve been dealing with a recurring disease that just won’t go away completely. It started with random fevers, body aches, and extreme fatigue. At first, doctors thought it was just a viral infection, but then I started having digestive issues, skin rashes, and frequent headaches. They ran a bunch of tests, and at one point, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. But the problem is, every time I take medicines, the symptoms go away for a while, then suddenly come back. I’ve been on antibiotics, painkillers, and even steroids for short periods, but nothing seems to be a long-term fix. The last doctor I saw told me that managing this disease is about controlling flare-ups, but I don’t want to keep living like this—one good month, then suddenly another episode where I can barely function. A friend suggested I look into Ayurveda because it focuses on the root cause instead of just symptoms. I don’t know much about it, but from what I read, diseases are caused by imbalances in the doshas. Could that be the reason my disease keeps coming back? Is my body stuck in some cycle of imbalance? Are there specific herbs or therapies that can help strengthen my immunity so I don’t keep getting sick? Also, does Ayurveda recommend certain foods to avoid for chronic disease management? I feel like my digestion plays a big role in this—whenever my stomach feels off, my symptoms get worse. Could there be a gut connection? If anyone has used Ayurveda for a chronic disease, did you actually see lasting results? What worked best—diet, herbs, detox, or something else? I’m open to trying a new approach if it means I don’t have to rely on medication forever.
