Frequent illness - #19979
Sivarama
I almost every month get Cold and Fever due to change in whether and pollution. What should I do and what medicines to take to boost immunity. Once I tried Chyawanprash, but due to sour taste of Imli in it, I got acidity in stomach so stopped that. Should I try Giloy ghanvati or something else.

Hello Mr Sivarama,
Since when do you have these symptoms? How is your appetite and overall digestion along with stools? Frequent colds and fevers may indicate low immunity and an imbalance of Kapha and Vata doshas. Since Chyawanprash caused acidity, you can try Giloy Ghanvati (1 tablet twice a day) for immunity support. Tulsi tea or Turmeric Milk (half a teaspoon in warm milk at bedtime) can also help. Amla juice or Yaahtimadhu capsules are good alternatives without causing acidity.
Recurrent fevers may suggest underlying inflammation. It is advisable to check blood reports like CRP and ESR to assess inflammation levels.

Experiencing frequent cold and fever can indeed be a hassle. It's essential to approach this with an understanding of Ayurveda, focusing on balance and strengthening your immunity. Your sensitivity to Chyawanprash might indicate an imbalance in your Pitta dosha, given it's associated with acidity and digestive issues.
First, let's address your immune system. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia), known for its immunomodulatory properties, can be a valuable ally. Giloy Ghanvati, taken once or twice daily with lukewarm water, is often effective. Be sure to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to confirm the appropriate dosage tailored for your constitution.
Next, address your diet to aid your immunity and digestion. Incorporate cooked vegetables and fruits moderately, avoiding too much raw food as it can be harder to digest, especially in changing weather. Include foods rich in natural immunity boosters like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper. A warm turmeric milk concoction at night might do wonders.
Since you've observed sensitivity with Chyawanprash, consider alternatives. Ashwagandha lehyam is milder on the stomach and helps build strength. But again, it's wise to test a small amount first to check tolerance.
Lifestyle is another pillar in Ayurveda. Regular moderate exercise, like yoga or brisk walking, enhances circulation and boosts immunity. Implement a consistent routine with adequate sleep, as stress and irregular habits disturb your body's natural defense systems.
For those pesky colds, inhalation of steam infused with eucalyptus oil a couple of times a week might help clear nasal passages. Ensure you stay hydrated, opting for warm water with a dash of lemon which aids digestion and keeps the throat clear.
Remember, sporadic sickness might be a signal to listen to your body closely. Keep track of triggers such as diet or specific weather conditions and note any patterns. Avoid exposure to known allergens like dust or smoke where possible, maybe use a protective cloth mask when necessary.
Finally, if conditions exacerbate, or symptoms intensify, don't hesitate to seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out any underlying health concerns.
