Vitamin B Deficiency Symptoms - #18030
For the past several months, I have been experiencing a range of unusual symptoms. I constantly feel tired, even after a full night’s sleep. My hands and feet sometimes feel numb or tingly, and I frequently get dizzy spells. I also have difficulty concentrating and often forget things that I normally wouldn’t. When I looked up these symptoms, I found that they match vitamin B deficiency symptoms. I don’t eat a lot of animal-based foods, and I suspect that I might not be getting enough vitamin B from my diet. I know that modern medicine recommends supplements, but I am more interested in treating this issue naturally. Does Ayurveda have specific foods or herbs that help restore vitamin B deficiency symptoms? Could this deficiency mean that my digestion isn’t properly absorbing nutrients? Besides fatigue, I’ve also noticed my skin looking dull and dry, and I feel like my hair is falling out more than usual. Could these also be linked to vitamin B deficiency symptoms? I read that Ayurveda considers deficiencies as signs of deeper imbalances—could this be due to weak Agni (digestive fire)? If so, what can I do to improve nutrient absorption and prevent further deficiencies? Another issue I’ve been facing is mood swings. Some days, I feel anxious for no reason, and other days, I feel low in energy and unmotivated. Could this be related to vitamin B deficiency symptoms, or is it more of a stress-related issue? I read that Ayurveda sees the mind and body as deeply connected, so I wonder if balancing my diet could also improve my emotional well-being. Doctor, what is the best Ayurvedic way to recover from vitamin B deficiency symptoms? Are there specific herbs, foods, or lifestyle changes that can help with nerve health, energy levels, and overall well-being?
