Dealing with the side-effects of chemotherapy can be tough. For your wife’s digestive discomfort and constipation due to pancreatic cancer, there are some Ayurvedic approaches we can consider that may offer some relief.
Firstly, let’s focus on her diet, which plays a crucial role in managing Vata imbalances like bloating and constipation. Encourage her to eat simple, warm, cooked foods that are easy on digestion. Soft rice, moong dal khichadi, overcooked with ginger and cumin could provide nutrition while being gentle on her system. Ensure her meals are regular, small, and not rushed, to help the digestive process.
Hydration is also important—she should sip warm water throughout the day. Drinking a glass of warm water with a pinch of asafoetida (hing) can help alleviate gas and bloating symptoms.
Spices like ajwain (carom seeds) or fennel seeds could be beneficial to ease gas pain. These can be chewed directly after meals or consumed as a tea by boiling them in water. She can try this once or twice a day.
For constipation relief, you might consider Triphala, which is a classical Ayurvedic formulation known to support bowel health. Start with a small dose, around a quarter teaspoon with warm water before bedtime, adjusting as needed.
Gentle belly massages with warm sesame oil can also help stimulate digestion and relieve discomfort. Make sure the oil is warmed slightly before application, not too hot, and massage the abdomen in a clockwise circular motion.
It’s essential to keep an eye on her symptoms, especially considering her recent chemotherapy. If her pain or digestive issues worsen, please consult with her medical oncologist or healthcare team promptly. These Ayurvedic suggestions can complement her current treatments, but they are not a substitute for professional medical care.
