From an Ayurvedic perspective, a high granulocyte count can be indicative of an underlying imbalance, often linked to increased heat (pitta dosha) in the body, which can arise from infections, inflammation, stress, or poor digestion. Given your case, your fatigue and frequent throat infections suggest that your immune system might be overstimulated due to chronic inflammation or stress.
First, regarding your digestion issues, Ayurveda strongly connects gut health with overall immunity. An imbalanced agni (digestive fire) can lead to inflammation, impacting your immune system, which might then cause elevated granulocytes. To improve your digestion and consequently support your immunity, consider adopting a warming, easy-to-digest diet. Include foods like khichdi (a mix of rice and lentils), steamed vegetables, and spices like ginger, turmeric, and cumin, which can aid digestion and reduce inflammation. Stay away from heavy, processed, and cold foods, as these can aggravate your condition.
In terms of herbal support, ashwagandha can help manage stress and support your overall vitality and immune response. Neem is another potent herb for fighting infections and reducing inflammation; you can take it in tablet or powder form. For your throat infections, consider gargling with warm salt water or a herbal tincture like licorice.
Stress is indeed a significant factor; practice daily stress-relief techniques such as yoga, meditation, or simple deep-breathing exercises. These can help restore balance and aid in improving your sleep quality, which in turn supports your immune function.
As for caffeine, it can lead to dehydration and may aggravate stress responses; consider reducing your intake of tea and coffee and replacing them with herbal teas like chamomile or tulsi, which can have calming effects.
Lastly, make sure to stay hydrated and incorporate fresh fruits (like apples and pomegranates) which can offer antioxidant support. Monitor your response to dietary changes and herbs, and keep in touch with your physician regarding your blood counts. You should consider a focused, gradual approach to treatment, allowing your body’s systems to adjust naturally.
