Yes I have some allergies
Hi Nishant, dealing with an intermittent cold and its related symptoms can be bothersome. Given your symptoms of a running nose and headaches, it seems there might be an imbalance in your Kapha dosha, often responsible for respiratory issues like cold, congestion and general lethargy. Let’s explore some approaches that could provide relief: First, consider your diet. Try to reduce intake of cold, heavy and oily foods, which can aggravate Kapha. Favor warm, light, and easily digestible meals. Incorporating spices like black pepper, ginger, and turmeric can help, as these have warming properties that may clear congestion. Sip on a warm ginger tea, prepared by steeping fresh ginger slices in hot water for 10-15 minutes. You can add a touch of honey once the tea has cooled a bit, as honey and heat should not be combined. For the running nose, nasal congestion, you might want to try steam inhalation. Adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to boiling water and inhaling the steam can help open up nasal passages and relieve headaches associated with congestion. Practicing some yoga poses and breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), could help in balancing the doshas and ease headaches. Perform these in a calm environment, paying close attention to your breath. Keep maintaining your body warmth, especially during cooler times, with warm baths and dressing warmly. Staying hydrated is essential, so drink luke warm water throughout the day to support your nasal clearance and hydration. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important you see a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying causes or infections that could require immediate attention! Remember, Ayurveda is about harmonizing the body and mind, and sometimes integration with modern medicine becomes necessary. Lastly, ensure you're getting adequate rest, as proper sleep is essential for immunity. Your body knows best, so listen to it and allow it to heal at its own pace.
