Dear Sam Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform with your health journey I understand how distressing it must be to carry a facial swelling for so many years, especially when it affects your appearance and causes discomfort. Chronic post traumatic swelling especially after an injury to the face of an involves underlying factors like residual, inflammation, lymphatic congestion, or fibrotic tissue changes with needed a deeper approach to healing From an Ayurvedic point of view, such a condition is considered as SHOTHA that is swelling and when it becomes chronic, it may be due to the Vision of VATA and kapha Dosha the trauma experience, likely disturb the balance of VATA and overtime KAPHA may have accumulated leading to stagnation Heaviness and visible in the affected area Although it is been 11 years, Ayurveda has wonderful formation and therapist that can still help reduce the swelling improve circulation and restore normal tissue function. Here is a basic plan that I would suggest. Punarnavadi Kadayam-health in reducing inflammation and swelling You can take 15 ML with equal quantity of warm water twice daily before meals Kanchanara guggulu- Excellent for localised swelling and tissue detox. Two tablets to be taken twice daily after food. Triphala guggulu- If there is a feeling of awareness or Block, it, this helps improve circulation and reduce fibrotic tissue External application — Mix powder is of dashanga Leo’s churna or turmeric + manjistha with cows, milk or rosewater and apply gently on the affected area. Leave it for about 30 minutes and then wash up with warm water

Use Kumkumadi tailam -which helps in skin healing and improving local circulation massage lightly without applying much pressure

Detox and diet suggestion

Avoid heavy oily diary, rich food that increases KAPHA Include warm water, ginger tea, light home, cooked meals with turmeric, coriander, and cumin

Do mild face steaming two times a week withdashamoola decoction or plain hot water infused with Tulsi and

If you are able to visit a good Ayurvedic centre, then try nasal oil administration with medicated tales like Shabin Indu Thaila can help tremendously in reducing long-standing facial swelling. It helps clear the block channels in the face and the region

Bit consistent Ayurvedic care and patience, the happiness and swelling can reduce, and the skin and underlined tissues can regain better tone and circulation.

Wishing you deep healing and relief ahead

Swelling from an old injury, especially if persistent after many years, can be a bit complex but let’s explore some Ayurvedic perspectives and options. First, it’s important to ensure there’s no underlying medical condition causing this, so do consult a physician for a thorough check-up if haven’t done so recently.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, your swelling could be related to imbalances in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and inflammation in the body, or possibly Kapha causing fluid retention. Addressing these might help reduce the swelling and heaviness.

Consider incorporating turmeric into your daily diet, as it’s a great natural anti-inflammatory. You can mix a teaspoon of organic turmeric powder in warm milk and have it once daily. Turmeric also supports blood purification, which is crucial for healing.

Applying a paste made from sandalwood powder and rose water on the affected area may offer some relief. Sandalwood cools and calms the skin, while rose water acts to soothe inflammation and reduce redness. Consider applying this paste to the affected area once daily for around 20-30 minutes, and then rinsing it off gently with water.

Massaging the face with gentle pressure can also help improve lymphatic drainage. Use warm sesame oil or almond oil for a gentle massage every evening to stimulate circulation, being cautious around the sensitive areas.

A decoction made with Triphala may also assist in reducing swelling. Boil one tablespoon of Triphala in two cups of water until it’s reduced to one cup, and drink this in the morning on an empty stomach. It helps remove toxins from the body, cuts down inflammation, and supports digestion.

Kulthi (Horsegram) is known for its properties in reducing swelling. Incorporate these in soups or as a light curry in your diet, and drink plenty of water alongside to assist in flushing out toxins.

If possible, adjust your diet to reduce intake of excessively spicy or salty foods, as these can aggravate Pitta and lead to further swelling. Stay hydrated and include plenty of cooling foods like cucumbers, and seasonal fruits.

Remember, continue your routine Ayurvedic practices and if you notice any worsening of the condition, please reach out for medical advice. The key lies in persistence and patience with natural remedies. Always consider, since this has been a long-standing issue, continuing professional medical support alongside these Ayurvedic practices.
