Cataract & glaucoma - #18910

Alright, when you're navigating multiple health concerns like cataracts, glaucoma, blood pressure, piles, and more, it's good to look at this holistically, like Ayurveda often recommends. So let's break it down a bit: For cataracts and glaucoma, both can be tricky to manage naturally, especially if you’re aiming to avoid interventions like laser. But there are supportive measures you can think about. Triphala, a classical Ayurvedic blend of three fruits, is often suggested for eye health. You could try washing your eyes with Triphala water — steep a teaspoon of Triphala in a glass of water overnight, strain it and use to rinse. This doesn't replace medical treatment but might be a gentle support. Same goes for gentle eye exercises like tratak, where you focus on a small object, but again, do check in with your eye doctor 'cause it's important to keep them in the loop. Managing blood pressure naturally often involves lifestyle tweaks. Think about adding garlic to your meals; it’s known to help with circulation. Yoga, pranayama, especially nadi shodhana can be beneficial too. For your piles, avoiding spicy food and increasing fiber in your diet could ease discomfort. Regularly drinking warm water after meals, and brief walks can relieve some hemorroidal symptoms and aid digestion too. Low hemoglobin sometimes ties back to diet as well. Consider iron-rich foods like spinach, pomegranate, or beetroot juice, also, you could sip on blackstrap molasses in warm water once daily, which has iron. But getting a lab test to find out your exact levels is smart. Now, heart and kidney health, they're like besties in Ayurveda, so balancing Vata and Pitta could be helpful. You've got ghee — it’s kinda like liquid gold for nourishing your body, taken in small amounts with warm milk (if you tolerate dairy). Maybe add one teaspoon of Ashwagandha churna in it. Daily practice of gentle exercise and a balanced diet helps too. For hearing, keep it simple, perhaps gently warming sesame oil and massaging around your ears could be soothing. The key thing, always looping back to your primary care doc or a specialist. With complex health issues, even small embarassing symptoms, it is vital that ayurveda, traditional methods, and modern medicine work in harmony. Stay safe!
