septic shock - #19528
Last week my uncle was rushed to the ICU after collapsing at home. He had been running a high fever for days, complaining about chills and rapid heartbeat, but we all thought it was just a bad flu or some kind of infection. Then, out of nowhere, he started feeling confused, barely responding to us, and his skin turned cold and clammy. By the time we got him to the hospital, the doctors said he was in septic shock, and his blood pressure was dangerously low. They put him on IV fluids, strong antibiotics, and even something to keep his blood pressure stable. It was terrifying to see how fast everything happened. Now, he's still in the hospital, recovering slowly, but the doctors warned us that septic shock can have long-term effects, and his body might take a long time to get back to normal. They even said his kidneys were affected, and he might need some ongoing treatment for that. I’ve read that people who survive septic shock can struggle with weakness, fatigue, and even memory problems. My uncle was always a strong man, but now he barely has the energy to sit up for long. He keeps saying he feels "not like himself" anymore. I started looking into Ayurveda to see if there’s a way to help his recovery naturally. The doctors are doing what they can, but I feel like something is missing—maybe some detox or herbal support to rebuild his strength? I read that Ayurveda focuses on balancing the body and removing toxins, which sounds like what he needs after such a major infection. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that could help with post-septic shock recovery? Can things like Panchakarma or Rasayana therapy help him regain his energy and improve his immunity? Also, is there any special diet in Ayurveda for someone who has been through septic shock? Would love to hear from someone who has treated a patient after septic shock using Ayurveda. What worked best? Are there specific signs we should watch for to make sure he’s really recovering? We’re just looking for something to help him get back to his old self.
