anti inflammatory drugs - #17023
For the past year, I’ve been dealing with chronic inflammation. My joints feel stiff, especially in the morning, and I get bloated really easily. My digestion is also sluggish, and I feel like my body just isn’t functioning the way it used to. The doctor suggested I take anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen when needed, but I really don’t want to rely on painkillers long-term. I know that these drugs just mask the symptoms, but they don’t fix the root cause. Plus, I’ve read that long-term use can lead to stomach issues and even liver problems. That’s why I’m looking into Ayurveda—I want to actually heal my body instead of just suppressing inflammation. Are there Ayurvedic herbs or natural treatments that work as well as anti-inflammatory drugs but without side effects? I’ve read that turmeric, ashwagandha, and ginger are good for inflammation, but how do I use them correctly? Should I take them as supplements, teas, or apply them externally? Also, could my diet be making my inflammation worse? I eat a lot of spicy food and sometimes skip meals because of work stress. Could this be causing more inflammation in my body? If Ayurveda has a complete approach to reducing inflammation, I’d love to know more. If anyone has managed chronic inflammation naturally with Ayurveda, please share your experience!
