Hello puja, Thank you for sharing your concern so clearly. I can understand how frustrating it must be to wake up every morning with cold, runny nose, headaches, and eye pain — especially when it’s been going on for over 2 years. But dont worry we are here to help you out **Ayurvedic perspective** This appears to be a chronic case of Vata-Kaphaja Pratishyay (chronic allergic rhinitis) — aggravated by early morning Kapha dominance, environmental triggers, and possibly Ama (toxins) in the system. **PROBABLE CAUSE** Imbalance in Vata and Kapha dosha, especially in the morning Weak Agni (weak digestive fire) and buildup of Ama(toxins) Exposure to dust, fan/AC, or cold air Possibly linked to sinus inflammation **AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT** ✅ 1. Daily Morning Routine (Start Immediately): 👉Wake up and do oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil (2–3 mins) 👉Nasya (nasal drops) with Anu Taila – 2 drops in each nostril every morning after bath 👉Steam inhalation with tulsi + ajwain before leaving home 👉Avoid direct exposure to cold air, fan, or dusty environments ✅ 2. Internal Medicines: 1 Athavin Lehyam 1 tsp morning empty stomach followed by warm water [ This will improve your sinus health ] 2 Dashmoolkatutreya ks tab 2-0-2 (before breakast and dinner )[ balances your vata and kapha ] 3 Vyoshadi Vatakam 1 tsp -0-1 tsp (After breakfast and dinner )[ clears sinus blockage] ✅ 3. Diet Plan: ✅ Include: ☑️Tulsi tea, ginger water ☑️Ghee with rice or moong dal ☑️Amla, turmeric, and seasonal fruits ☑️ Eat warm, easy-to-digest, freshly cooked meals ❌ Avoid: ☑️Cold water, curd, banana, bakery food ☑️Oily/fried snacks and excess dairy ☑️Late-night dinners 4. Weekly Detox Support: ✔️fasting once a week to strengthen Agni and reduce Kapha Home Remedies: 1. Tulsi-Ginger Tea every morning 2. Massage forehead and cheeks with warm sesame oil to improve sinus drainage 3. Boil water with Ajwain + Eucalyptus oil and inhale steam (evening) If there's: 👉Frequent thick yellow mucus 👉Blocked nose or facial heaviness 👉Persistent headaches ✅You may need Ayurvedic Panchakarma like Vamana, Nasya, or Dhoomapana ✅With a consistent, gentle Ayurvedic approach and support to your immunity and digestion Wish you a good health!!!😊 Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

What You Must Start Doing Today 🛏️ Night & Morning Routine Fix Keep head warm at night – wear a cotton cap or cover ears if sleeping under a fan. Avoid sleeping directly under ceiling fan or AC. Change pillow covers and bed sheets every 3–4 days. Vacuum your mattress or sun-dry once a week to reduce allergens. On waking: Don’t expose yourself to cold air immediately (windows, fanbree Anu Taila Nasya (every morning after Jal Neti or steam): drops in each nostril while lying flat. Steam Inhalation – Add 1 pinch of Ajwain + Tulsi leaves + Eucalyptus oil. Do at bedtime or after bath (not immediately after eating). 🍽️ 4. Dietary Adjustments (to pacify Kapha & strengthen immunity) ❌ Avoid: Cold milk, curd, bananas, bread, cheese Cold water / refrigerated items / juices White sugar, refined oils Heavy, oily, leftover food ✅ Include: Warm, freshly cooked food only Tulsi-ginger tea, cinnamon tea, or trikatu tea in mornings Drink golden milk at bedtime (¼ tsp turmeric + pinch black pepper + warm milk) Soaked & peeled almonds (5 daily) for sinus healing Sitopaladi Churna + Honey Clears cough, allergy 1 tsp with honey after meals Haridrakhand Anti-allergic, immunity 1 tsp daily with warm water Trikatu Churna Clears Kapha, improves digestion ¼ tsp before meals Chyawanprash (small dose) Builds long-term immunity 1 tsp daily (not in summer) Talisadi Churna Helpful if there's cough with cold ½ tsp with warm water

I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions.

HELLO PUJA, YOUR SYMPTOMS -daily runny nose, mostly in morning -associated headache - eye pain and strain in midday -no relief from warm water - chronic-symptoms persist for 2 years These clearly point to a chronic imbalance, not juts a seasonal cold CAUSATIVE FACTOR -exposure to cold or allergens-dust, pollen, mites - daytime sleeping -intake of cold, heavy, sweet foods= mild, yogurt, banana - weak digestion leading to toxin formation -suppressed natural urges-sneezing, tears etc -recurrent colds not fully treated. DOSHA INVOLVEMENT KAPHA DOSHA= blocked sinuses, runny nose, mucous congestion VATA DOSHA= headaches, eye strain , dryness RASA AND PRANAVAHA SROTAS= lyphatic and respiratory channels are affected PATHOGENESIS -kapha gets aggravated in the upper respiratory tract -undigested toxins forms due to low digestive fire - accumulated kapha+Ama block nasal and sinus channels - vata gets vitiated due to obstruction-> headache, eye pain. This condition is closely aligned with - Dushta pratishaya=chronic rhinitis - Kaphaja shirashoola= Kapha type headache - Nidranasha= sleep disturbance due to breathing issues Not necessarily that it is immunodeficiency. Chronic sinus./allergy issues mimic immune weakness but are more about local hypersensitivity and kapha dysfunction, not systemic immune failure. However, immunity gets depleted over time. TREATMENT PROTOCOL If feasible opt for panchakarma- has proven best result in cases like yours -vamana(therapeutic emesis) - shirodhara INTERNALLY duration= 3 months minimum. MORNING(EMPTY STOMACH) NASYA= instill 4 drops of shad Bindu taila in each nostril 1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 2gm with honey-to clear kapha and ignite digestive fire 2) CHITRAKADI VATI= 1 tab to improve digestion AFTER BREAKFAST 3) SHITOPALADI CHURNA+ YASTIMADHU+ HONEY= 1 tsp anti allergic, expectorant 4) TALISADI CHUNRA= 1 tsp with warm water if phlegm present BEFORE LUNCH 5) PATHYADI KASHAYA= 15 ml with equal warm water relieves headache , eye strain EVENING 6) HARIDRAKKHANDA= 1 tsp with milk anti inflammatory, reduces allergic symptoms NIGHT 7) TURMERIC MILK with pinch of black pepper and ghee= boosts immunity and aids sinus clearing HOME REMEDIES 1) STEAM INHALATION= opens sinus use ajwain, eucalyptus oil or tulsi 2) JALA NETI= clears nasal passages saline rinse with neti pot in morning 3) TURMERIC + HONEY PASTE= reduces inflammation 1/2 tsp turmeric + honey daily on empty stomach 4) GINGER TULSI TEA= Decongestant sip throughout day DIET TO BE FOLLOWED -warm, freshly cooked foods - soups with ginger, black pepper - barley, millet, old rice - moong dal, garlic, onions -steamed or sautéed vegetabes AVOID -milk, CURD, panner - cold drinks, ice creams -banana, guava, citrus fruits in excess -sugar, refined flour, bakery products -fried or stale food DAILY YOGA ROUTINE(30-45 min) warm up= neck rotations, shoulder rolls, kapalbhati breathing-3 rounds of 30 strokes ASANAS= marjaryasana-bitilasana -adho much savasana - setu bandhasana -bhujangasana -halasana -balasana PRANAYAM -anulom vilom -bhramari -sheetali/sheetkar MEDITATION -om mantra chanting FOOT MASSAGE with ghee at night before sleep daily avoid AC, daytime naps, late night waking DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.

Frequent cold symptoms, particularly in the morning, can certainly be linked to sinus issues, but it could also relate to an imbalance in the kapha dosha, which, when aggravated, often leads to conditions like excess mucus production, congestion, and associated headaches. Ayurveda looks at this from the perspective of lifestyle and dietary practices, along with some specific remedies that could bring relief to your symptoms. First, daily nasya practice might be quite beneficial. Nasya involves applying medicated oil drops into the nostrils, which can help in clearing sinus congestion and preventing further issues. Try using Anu Taila, a classic formulation for this purpose. Do this in the morning, ideally before breakfast, lying down with your head tilted back. Place a few drops in each nostril and inhale deeply. In addition, focus on your diet to pacify kapha. Reduce or avoid dairy products, cold and fried foods, as they might increase mucus production. Similarly, include more warming and light foods. Ginger tea could be quite helpful; drink it right after waking up. You can prepare it by boiling fresh ginger slices in water and adding a bit of honey. Keeping your digestion strong is also crucial. Consider taking trikatu powder with honey before meals. Trikatu, which is a combination of black pepper, pipli, and ginger, helps kindling your digestive fire (agni), breaking down the mucus, and improving overall detox. Steam inhalation once or twice a day with eucalyptus oil can provide immediate relief by clearing nasal passages. Simply add a few drops to hot water and cover your head with a towel, inhaling deeply. Ensure your sleeping environment is warm and avoid exposure to cold breezes. Protect yourself from allergens like dust, which might aggravate your condition. For potential infections, ayurvedic herbs like Tulsi and Neem have anti-inflammatory properties that might aid in reducing symptoms. If these measures do not result in significant improvement, consider visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner who might offer a tailored approach, including therapies like Panchakarma, which are specifically designed to treat chronic sinusitis and related disorders. Keep monitoring your symptoms closely, and if there are any signs of severity, consult a healthcare professional to rule out other causes.

I’m Dr. Hemanshu, a second-year MD scholar specializing in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery), with a focused interest in para-surgical interventions such as Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma. My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches. With hands-on training and experience in managing chronic pain conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula, and other ano-rectal conditions, I provide treatments that emphasize both relief and long-term wellness. I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.
