How to cure chronic fissures? - #21471

Ah, dealing with chronic fissures is definitely a challenge. Let's work through this together and see if we can find a natural way forward. It looks like you've already doing some good stuff with diet and walking, but there's often more layers in Ayurveda we can explore. First, it's important to consider your digestive fire, or agni. Fissures often come from imbalance, sometimes even dryness in the body, you know? Even though you’re eating right, there might be some issues with how things are being digested and assimilated. Make sure to avoid excessive spicy and fried foods, they tend to aggrevate this condition. Instead, include ghee in your diet, it promotes healing and keeps things moving smoothly. Hydration, too, is a biggie. Drink warm water throughout the day, it helps keep everything nice and soft. And speaking of softness, are you getting enough fiber? Keeping the stool soft is essential to avoid straining. Foods like oats, figs and papayas are super helpful that way. Another thing, consider Triphala – it’s a classic Ayurvedic formula that helps with bowel regularity and has healing properties. Take about 1 teaspoon with warm water at night before bed. Lifestyle-wise, stress does play a part. Sometimes our bodies respond in painful ways to stress or anxiety. Pranayama? It can be wonderfully balancing for calming the mind and helping to soothe the body. Try even simple deep breathing, it makes a big difference over time. Topically, applying a paste made from coconut oil and a little turmeric can aid healing. Turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties are really effective, but be sure to patch-test to see if your skin likes it. If you don't see improvement in a few weeks, or if symptoms worsen, it would be important to check in with a healthcare provider. Don't hesitate to reach out, as every individual’s needs can be different. Be gentle with yourself through this process—healing takes time and patience!
