Hello kavi
Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform , you have mentioned that you get occasional grittiness in the ice upon waking noticeable weight gain over the past year and swelling in the feet while sitting it seems your body showing early signs of kapha vata imbalance
Which can also involve deeper raaa dhatu ( lymphatic) and Medo dhatu (fat/ metabolic tissue) dusthi
The grittiness in the eyes and waking is often linked to excess kapha accumulating overnight, especially digestion is, this can also indicate early signs of ama that is under digested metabolic waste circulating in the system
When ama starts blocking micro channels( srotas) dryness, and irritation in sense organ like the eyes can occur, even if momentarily
The 10 KG weight gain in one year is significant in Ayurveda sudden or unexplained weight gain is usually due to impaired Medho dhatu agni-the metabolism, responsible for fat processing
If diet is not change much, but weight is increasing, it often mean the body’s natural ability to burn or utilise nutrients is being blocked by excess kapha or ama
Swelling in the feet while sitting suggest vata - kapha obstruction in the Udaya vata srotas (water regulating channels) possible due to fluid retention, this may be due to circulatory stagnation, poor, lymphatic drainage, or early renal insufficiency. While it is not necessary to panic is getting a basic kidney function test cbc is Advisable to rule out any underlying dysfunction.
Include light, warm and easily digestible meals. Avoid salty, cold and oily foods. Daily light moment or yoga to stimulate circulation. Drink warm water throughout the day to stimulate digestion
Punarnava mandoora-
Gokshuradi guggulu-
Chandra Prabha vati -
One tablet each twice daily after food with lukewarm water
Varunadi kashaya -10 ML with equal quantity of water twice daily before food
Digestion, urination, and sleep should be monitored regularly. This can give us more clarity on the root cause.
Let’s not ignore the symptoms, but also not worry. Ayurveda offers powerful support when we act with awareness and care.

Swelling in feet might be due to various reasons. Need to see along with swelling, weight gain. Any other associated symptoms are present or not.
So it’s better to go for routine investigations, CBC RFT LFT thyroid profile ultrasound abdomen, and pelvis
So we can evaluate properly and can start treatment accordingly

safe medications you can start-
lasunadi vati- 2 tab after food twice daily
gokshuradi guggulu- 2 tab twice daily after food
punanarnavadi kasha- 15 ml twice daily after food with water

A sensation of grittiness upon waking up and swelling in feet after sitting might be worth investigating further. It sounds like you're dealing with some fluid retention, which is taking place in the body. In Ayurveda, such an imbalance could be linked to issues with Kapha dosha, which governs water balance, and acts like a mediator in the body's structure. It would be wise to consider ruling out any underlying conditions, including kidney function concerns, especially if there's fluid retention and significant weight gain like in your case.
You should indeed check your kidney function. This can be done through blood tests, urine analysis, or other assessments advised by a healthcare professional. It will help to determine if there is any connection between the kidney function and the symptoms you're experiencing.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, working on balancing Kapha is ann essential step. You might want to reduce your intake of salty, heavy, and oily foods, which can exacerbate Kapha imbalances. Emphasize foods that are light, dry, and warm such as barley and millets, which help in reducing excess water retention. Regular exercise can also be beneficial, focus on activities that invigorate the body and help circulation, like brisk walking or light jogging.
It's also helpful to add spices like ginger, black pepper, and cinnamon to food, these aid in maintaining digestive fire and can prevent Kapha accumulation. Drinking warm water with lemon or a pinch of ginger in the early morning can help stimulate your agni, which is essential for metabolism.
However, if the swelling and grittiness persist or you notice other worrying symptoms, do prioritize reaching out to a healthcare provider to ensure there isn't a more immediate underlying issue. It's crucial in cases where symptoms could indicate more severe health issues to take action swiftly. Avoid delaying in reaching out for further diagnosis via conventional medical testing to give you peace of mind and ensure safety.
