Hidradenitis supparativa - #21539

You’re juggling quite a bit, huh? Trust me, managing hidradenitis suppurativa, especially with blocked lymph glands and tridosha imbalance, can feel like a lot. Let’s dive into a few things you might consider to support your health journey. First off, keeping the tridoshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - in balance is key. Since you mentioned following a strict diet, let’s see if tweaking it a bit can help. With a Vata-Pitta imbalance, reducing overly spicy, dry, and processed foods might be beneficial. Stick to warm, well-cooked meals. Try things like moong dal khichdi, which is both nourishing and easy on the stomach. They can be sattvic which balances your doshas gently. You mentioned avoiding dairy, sugar, and nightshades – good move for inflammation! But be sure your diet isn’t overly restrictive, which can cause imbalances. Try incorporating turmeric, it's anti-inflammatory and can aid healing. Not to mention, triphala at night might help clear body toxins and boost digestion, essential for proper nutrient absorption. Taking amla could also boost your iron levels naturally! For blocked lymphs, Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can encourage lymphatic circulation. Try it before your shower. Stress seemed like a starter for you, so consider integrating some gentle yoga or pranayama daily, something like “Anulom-Vilom” to calm both mind and body. Though you’re keeping a strict food plan, check in if it's too limited. Sometimes, this can lead to nutrient deficiencies causing weakness. Speaking of which, since you feel weak often and lack iron, addressing any digestive fire (Agni) issues you might have could help better nutrient absorption. If symptoms worsen, seeing a healthcare provider is important. You don’t want to overlook underlying causes that need immediate care. What you're dealing with is complex, you know, and often needs a blend of practices. Just take one step at a time.
