Thank you for sharing the detailed information about your Prakriti and other thingh it’s truly insightful. You’re already following a well informed approach, and your awareness is commendable. With a platelet count of 65,000, you’re managing your condition quite well through natural support.
Here are a couple of additions you can consider to further support your recovery:
1. Punarnava Mandoor – 1 tablet twice daily (BD) Helps rejuvenate blood cells and supports spleen and liver function.
2. Amalaki Rasayana – ½ teaspoon once daily (preferably at night) Rasayana that promotes cellular regeneration and strengthens immunity. Continue the diet plan that you are following

Addressing your condition with an Ayurvedic approach requires looking at the whole picture and involves more than just adding supplements. Given your prakriti of pitta-vata, we can work to balance these elements. The current combination of herbs you’re taking is generally supportive, but let’s review a few areas more.
First, your digestive fire or agni may need further strengthening. Since you mentioned gastric issues, it’s vital to address these to help with nutrient absorption. Simple habits like eating meals at regular times and avoiding cold or raw foods can aid digestion. Avoid consuming excess of spicy, oily, or fermented foods, which may aggravate your pitta-vata constitution. Including spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel in your meals can gently enhance digestive capacity without aggravating pitta.
Since you have low platelet count, continue with giloy and ashwagandha, they are beneficial for immunity and stress. Carica papaya is excellent too. You mentioned wheatgrass powder—yes, it’s quite nourishing, but consider trying fresh wheatgrass juice if possible, as it may be more potent.
For your symptom of leucorrhea, astringent and cooling herbs like lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) may help. They can pacify pitta and provide relief, especially when prepared as a decoction or taken in powder form with lukewarm water.
Once more, keep focusing on a pitta-pacifying lifestyle: ensure good hydration with room temperature or warm water and manage stress with calming practices like yoga or meditation.
Your post-nasal drip could be indicative of some kapha imbalance, making sure to stay away from dairy or gluten-heavy foods which might be triggering the issue. A mild herbal steam inhalation with eucalyptus or mint could help in managing this symptom.
Always remember to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before making major changes, as they can personalize the plan specifically for your needs. Being cautious not to over-supplement is also essential as too many herbs or vitamins can counteract each other’s effects!
