As you have mentioned having nephrotic syndrome, there is a possibility that it may also be affecting your lungs. To provide an effective Ayurvedic treatment plan, I need to review your medical reports and complete health history.

Required Medical Reports: ✅ Renal Function Test (RFT) ✅ Ultrasound (USG) – Kidney & Abdomen ✅ Complete Blood Count (CBC), ESR ✅ Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) ✅ DTPA Scan (if available) ✅ X-ray of the Lungs – To check for any lung involvement ✅ Urine Output Details (Daily urine volume and any abnormalities) ✅ History of BP, Diabetes, or Any Other Disease ✅ Any Surgical History

Once you provide these details, I can suggest an Ayurvedic treatment plan along with a diet and lifestyle regimen tailored to your condition. Please share your reports for a personalized approach.

It sounds like you’re dealing with some classic signs of Vata-Kapha imbalance in the respiratory system. In Ayurveda, dry nasal passages and difficulty expelling mucus, along with a heavy chest, can often be attributed to aggravated Vata drying up natural moisture, coupled with Kapha clogging the channels. Let’s look at how we can address this with Ayurvedic principles and practices.

First off, to moisturize the nasal passages, nasal drops with Anu Taila or even plain sesame oil can help to lubricate and protect. Warm the oil slightly and apply 2-3 drops in each nostril in the morning and before bed. This acts as a soothing emollient to counteract dryness and can help prevent mucus from sticking too much.

For reducing the heavy feeling in your chest and aiding mucus expulsion, steam inhalation can be quite beneficial. Boil water with a few mint leaves or eucalyptus oil, cover your head with a towel, and gently inhale the steam, allowing the warmth and moisture to loosen any congestion. Do this once a day until symptoms subside.

Diet can play a pivotal role too. Incorporating warming, moist foods like soups or stews made from seasonal vegetables, with spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric, can help balance Vata and Kapha. These spices boost your Agni, or digestive fire, reducing mucus production. Avoid cold, dry, or excessively sweet and heavy foods, which could aggravate symptoms.

Movement and breathing exercises also help. Gentle yoga asanas—like the child’s pose or forward bends—combined with Pranayama, particularly Kapalbhati or Nadi Shodhana, can encourage healthy respiration and clear channels.

To address your frequent sickness, a strong immune-boosting routine can really help. An Ayurvedic herb like Guduchi (Tinospora Cordifolia) is excellent. Its adaptogenic properties bolster immunity and maintain healthy dhatus and ojas, the essence of vitality.

Lastly, ensure regular sleeping patterns, keeping your head slightly elevated to prevent sinus issues at night. If symptoms persist or worsen, it might be vital to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions causing difficulties. Prioritizing safety is paramount, so don’t hesitate to seek further medical advice if necessary.
