Infection - #17874

It sounds like your wound infection hasn't fully healed, possibly due to weakened immunity or incomplete detoxification. In Ayurveda, infected wounds (Dushta Vrana) are linked to an imbalance in Pitta and Rakta (blood impurities), which can cause inflammation, pus formation, and slow healing. Since you've also been feeling tired and having digestive issues, the antibiotics may have disturbed your gut health, weakening your natural immunity. Ayurveda focuses on both external healing (wound care) and internal detoxification to prevent recurring infections and promote faster recovery. For external care, you can apply a paste of Turmeric and Neem powder mixed with honey or Aloe Vera gel—both have antibacterial and wound-healing properties. Washing the wound with Triphala decoction or diluted Neem water can help cleanse it naturally. If there's still pus, applying a warm turmeric and castor oil paste may help draw out toxins. Internally, Ayurvedic herbs like Manjistha, Neem, and Guduchi help purify the blood and support healing. Taking Turmeric milk or Neem capsules can strengthen immunity and fight infection. Since digestion plays a huge role in healing, avoid heavy, oily, and processed foods—stick to light, easily digestible meals like moong dal khichdi, warm soups, and ghee-roasted garlic to support gut health. Ayurvedic remedies usually show improvement within a few days to a week, but complete healing depends on your overall health and diet. Triphala churna at night can help detoxify the system and improve digestion. If fatigue continues, adding Chyawanprash or Ashwagandha can boost energy and immunity. Keep the wound clean and dry, but don’t keep pressing it, as it may worsen inflammation. If the infection doesn’t improve or spreads, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more tailored approach.

It sounds like your body is reacting to the infection, and your fatigue, loss of appetite, and stomach issues could be linked to both the infection and possibly the antibiotics affecting your digestion. In Ayurveda, infections are often treated by balancing the doshas and strengthening the immune system. For your wound, applying a paste made of turmeric and neem can help with healing and fighting infection, as both have antiseptic properties. Aloe vera gel can also soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. In terms of diet, it’s best to avoid spicy, oily, and heavy foods that could aggravate your digestion. Instead, focus on warm, light meals like khichdi or soups that are easy on the stomach. Drinking herbal teas like ginger and tulsi can also help boost immunity and support digestion. Ayurveda focuses on individual healing, so you might want to consult a practitioner to tailor a specific remedy for your condition. Results can vary, but generally, you should start noticing some improvement in a few days to a week, depending on your body’s response.
