How to start Ayurveda? - #17688
hey so…recently i’ve been feeling kinda stuck with my health. nothing too serious, but lots of small issues keep poping up. Like since last july, ive been tired ALL the time even after sleeping 8-9 hours. when i wake up, it feels like i barely slept 3 hours. I thought maybe my vitamins were off or something so did some tests in september but everything was normal according to doctor. also, digestion has been not great. like some days I'm constipated and other days its the opposite. doctor just said stress was probably the issue & gave me some generic supplements, but those didn’t help at all. my friend mentioned trying ayurveda because apparently it helped her with similar problems. she also said it made her feel way more energized overall. I never tried any alternative medicine before and honestly dont even know where to begin. I keep googling "How to start Ayurveda?" but the more I read the more confused I get. I also have this annoying issue where my skin started getting really dry and itchy even when i apply lotion, and it gets worse when the weather is cold. doctor did some basic blood tests in january and said everything is fine, thyroid and sugar levels are normal. even my cholesterol is ok. but still, these symptoms arent going away. I also noticed Im getting anxious about random stuff way more than before. used to be a chill person but lately i worry about small things that dont even matter much. my sister says it might be related to digestion and overall lifestyle, and maybe ayurveda could actually help? i eat pretty normal food, nothing too fancy. I mean mostly home cooked meals, but I do have takeout sometimes. im also trying to cut down caffeine cuz I heard it might be causing this anxiety issue? But dont really know if thats true or not. Basically, I have zero clue how Ayurveda works or how it can help someone like me with these type of symptoms. what is the first step to even start Ayurveda?? should i meet a specialist first or can I try something simple on my own to see if it even suits me? also, can Ayurveda really fix my fatigue, anxiety and digestive troubles? any advice from your own personal experience would be awesome!
