How to reduce internal heat - #20767
Please, I have gone to the laboratory to do renal function test, everything was normal, EGFR of 113, creatinine level of 88mmol/l and urea level of 3.56 umol/l. Potassium, chloride and sodium levels were normal, but I feel burning sensation in my stomach, feel pain at my upper back, I drink more water and urinate more during the day. What might be the cause?

Considering your symptoms, let’s address them from an Ayurvedic perspective, keeping in mind your medical test results are normal. The burning sensation in the stomach, combined with increased thirst and urination, may indicate an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, a key Ayurvedic concept relating to heat and metabolism.
Firstly, let’s focus on dietary adjustments. Avoid spicy, oily, and pungent foods, as they can exacerbate Pitta imbalance. Favor cooling and hydrating foods - think of cucumber, melon, coconut water, and leafy greens. Foods like rice, oats, and barley are gentle on the stomach and have cooling properties. Try including aloe vera juice. a tablespoon on an empty stomach in the morning may be beneficial. Also, consume meals at regular intervals to maintain stable digestive fire, or Agni, without causing it to flare up.
Hydration is crucial, but it seems you’re already drinking plenty of water. Consider sipping on herbal teas like coriander or fennel instead of plain water throughout the day to further soothen the Pitta dosha. Limit intake of caffeinated beverages and alcohol, which can aggravate the condition.
For lifestyle practices, include cooling pranayama techniques such as Sheetali and Shitkari. These are breathing exercises done by inhaling through the tongue and exhaling through the nose, helping to bring a cooling effect to the body. Morning or evening walks in nature can help balance internal heat. Also, ensure you’re getting adequate rest, as lack of sleep can worsen Pitta imbalance.
The discomfort in your upper back could be related to muscle tension or posture, often influenced by stress. Regular gentle yoga or stretching, particularly focusing on the upper back, may relieve tension. Techniques like gentle neck circles or shoulder shrugs might be useful. If the pain persists or worsens, consider seeking a consultation for a tailored assessment, possibly involving massage or Ayurvedic therapy like Abhyanga – a form of oil massage.
Lastly, these recommendations are generally safe but since everyone’s constitution is unique, further personalized guidance from an Ayurvedic practitioner would be ideal. If symptoms persist or there’s any new development, consult a healthcare provider to explore other possibilities.
