Ah, sounds like you got a lot going on lately, and none of it sounds comfy. Dealing with jwara, or fever in Ayurveda, really requires a holistic approach. So let’s break it down a bit.
Your symptoms seem to align with an imbalance in your doshas, particularly Kapha and maybe a bit of Pitta, given the tiredness and achy feeling, especially in the mornings. Ama, that sticky toxin caused by undigested food, could definitely be playing a role here. Processed foods, irregular eating habits, and lack of sleep surely affect your agni (digestive fire), leading to the formation of Ama which can contribute to these symptoms.
Tulsi (holy basil) and giloy (Guduchi) could help, for sure. Tulsi boosts your immunity and acts as an antipyretic (fever-reducing), while Giloy works wonderfully for fever and strengthening your body’s response system. You can make a simple decoction by boiling a few tulsi leaves and a small piece of giloy stem in water until it reduces by half. Drink this in the morning on an empty stomach. It should be soothing yet effective.
Your lack of appetite and the fatigue indicate the need for a kindle to your digestive fire. Eating lighter meals, like khichdi (rice and lentil dish), can be soothing and nourishing. Avoid heavy, oily, or processed foods as they bog down digestion further.
Night sweats could be your body’s way of trying to get rid of excess heat or toxins. In context of Ayurveda, it’s seen in a Kapha/Pitta interaction.
Considering Panchakarma’s a more comprehensive detox and may not be immediately necessary, but it can be useful if things persist over time. Meanwhile, simple practices like abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) and steam inhalation can also help recalibrate your body.
Focus on regular sleep patterns, light exercise like a morning walk, and consistency in mealtimes to align with Ayurvedic clock, which can naturally balance your doshas.
Oh, and it’s great you wanna step back from frequent paracetamol use. Digging into the root with lifestyle and dietary changes, like I’ve outlined, is a smart move. Feel free to ask more if ya need!
