First off, it’s important to know that using protection is generally a good start, but it’s always wise to get checked by a healthcare professional for any infections, especially with new symptoms like itching. That said, we can delve into how Ayurveda can be a supporting guide for your concerns.
Starting with the physical aspect: Neem is known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties, and Turmeric is great for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. You can make a simple herbal tea using these. Boil a cup of water, add a pinch of turmeric and a teaspoon of dried neem leaves, or use a neem powder, if leaves are hard to find. Let it simmer for about 5 mins and then strain it. Drinking this once a day can be beneficial for detoxification.
If you’re thinking about using Giloy, it’s another excellent herb, especially for boosting immunity. You can take Giloy in the form of tablets or as a juice. The recommended dosage of Giloy tablets is usually around 250-500 mg of the extract twice daily with water. Always check with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting something new to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific constitution or dosha balance.
For emotional well-being, stress and anxiety can indeed be addressed holistically through Ayurveda. Ashwagandha, a well-known adaptogen, can help balance stress levels. You might add a teaspoon of ashwagandha powder to a warm glass of milk at night. This might also help in improving your sleep.
Meditation and Pranayama (breathing exercises) also tend to be beneficial. Spending 10-15 mins daily focusing on deep breathing or simple mindfulness can add layers of tranquility. And honestly, regulate your sleeping habits—that makes a big difference too.
Remember healing is a journey. Don’t hesitate to consult a professional if stress persists—sometimes blending modern medicine with Ayurveda offers the best balance.
