The symptoms you're describing – dryness of throat and lips, along with constipation – suggest a possible Vata imbalance. In Ayurveda, Vata dosha governs dryness and movement in the body, and when out of balance, it can lead to the issues you're experiencing. Here are a few recommendations you might find helpful. Firstly, enhance your water intake by adding a pinch of rock salt or a few drops of lemon juice to your water. This can help improve absorption and hydration. But ensure not to over-consume lemon juice as it may aggravate Pitta. Also consider sipping on herbal teas such as fennel tea or cumin-coriander-fennel (CCF) tea, as they help in hydrating and balancing Vata. For your constipation, start your day with 1 teaspoon of soaked overnight flaxseeds; chewing them well in the morning provides lubrication within the gut. Triphala, a classical Ayurvedic formulation, is known for balancing all three doshas and promoting digestive health. You can take 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water before bedtime, which will aid in bowel movements. Diet-wise, focus on incorporating warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest, such as soups, stews, porridges – anything gently warming. Avoid dry and rough foods like crackers or salads, which may aggravate Vata. Adding a teaspoon of ghee to your meals can provide internal lubrication. Consume plenty of grounding herbs and spices like ginger, cinnamon, fennel, and cardamom, as they aid digestion and balance Vata. Establish a consistent sleep routine, going to bed by 10 PM and creating a calming atmosphere if possible. Practicing deep breathing or meditation before bed can aid sleep quality. An evening ritual like applying warm sesame oil to your body, particularly the feet, can be grounding for Vata and improve sleep. Avoid exposure to cold, dry, and windy environments as much as possible, as these can increase dryness in your system. Rest will help combat Vata imbalance as well. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional to explore further medical support.

Dr. Swathimutthu Prasad B N
I’m Dr. Swathimutthu B N, and my practice is deeply rooted in the Ayurvedic care of women’s health, with a focus on balancing hormones, enhancing fertility, and supporting every stage of the reproductive journey. My core areas of expertise include managing menstrual irregularities, painful periods, PCOS, endometriosis, PMS, and menopausal challenges through individualized, holistic care. I also provide preconception counseling and comprehensive postpartum support to promote safe and natural recovery. One of my key strengths lies in addressing infertility in both men and women. I integrate Ayurvedic detoxification therapies like Panchakarma, herbal formulations, and lifestyle interventions to naturally enhance fertility, regulate ovulation, and improve sperm health. My goal is to identify and treat the root causes of reproductive imbalances rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms. Each consultation begins with an in-depth assessment of the patient’s Prakriti (constitution) and Vikriti (current imbalances), allowing me to create highly personalized treatment plans. These plans often include Ayurvedic therapies, dietary adjustments, yoga, pranayama, and stress-relief techniques—customized for long-term vitality and well-being. My approach is not just about treatment, but about walking alongside my patients throughout their healing journey. Whether you are preparing for pregnancy, managing chronic hormonal issues, or navigating the emotional shifts of menopause, I provide close follow-up, emotional support, and continuous guidance. I am committed to building a compassionate, evidence-based practice rooted in Ayurvedic science. By combining ancient wisdom with modern insights, I aim to empower each individual to reclaim their health naturally, safely, and sustainably. If you’re seeking a thoughtful, personalized, and holistic approach to women’s health and fertility, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
