Omega 3 Fats - #18071

Your symptoms of fatigue, joint stiffness, and brain fog indicate a Vata imbalance in Ayurveda, which can be worsened by poor nutrition and low essential fatty acids in the diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for brain function, reducing inflammation, and maintaining joint health. Instead of fish oil, Ayurveda recommends plant-based sources like Flaxseeds (Alasi), Walnuts (Akhrot), Hemp Seeds, and A2 Cow Ghee, which help nourish the brain and lubricate joints naturally. Medicated ghee like Brahmi Ghrita or Ashwagandha Ghrita is particularly beneficial for memory, focus, and nerve health. To improve Omega-3 absorption and overall well-being, consume 1 tsp of Flaxseed powder with warm water daily or soak 5 walnuts overnight and eat them in the morning. Nasya therapy (applying 2 drops of Anu Tailam in each nostril daily) enhances brain function and improves concentration. Including Dashmool Kwath (herbal decoction) or Mahanarayan oil massage can help relieve joint stiffness and boost circulation. Drinking warm turmeric milk with a teaspoon of ghee at bedtime further supports brain and nerve health. Avoid processed foods, excessive caffeine, and dry, rough foods that aggravate Vata. Instead, eat warm, nourishing meals rich in healthy fats like sesame seeds, soaked almonds, and A2 ghee. Yoga poses like Vajrasana (for digestion) and Viparita Karani (to improve circulation to the brain) enhance nutrient absorption. By following a consistent Ayurvedic diet, herbal supplementation, and daily oil practices, you can naturally increase Omega-3 levels and regain mental clarity, joint flexibility, and sustained energy.
