how to reduce kapha in throat - #25398
I am really struggling with this nagging sensation in my throat lately, feeling all heavy and congested, and I've read a lot about how to reduce kapha in throat. I think it could be kapha or something, but not sure. My Ayurvedic friend mentioned that when kapha is aggravated, it can lead to phlegm buildup, and I definitely feel that way. Like, even after trying to drink warm fluids, the feeling doesn’t go away. Last week, I noticed I was coughing up some mucus and it really freaked me out. I mean, no fever, but my energy is low and I just feel cloudy all the time. Ugh! I even tried some cayenne pepper tea, which I thought would help with how to reduce kapha in throat but I didn’t notice much change. Anyone have tips that actually worked for them? I want to feel back to normal and breathe easily again! What are some things that can really help you know, to balance this kapha situation? Any foods or herbs or maybe even breathing exercises? Can't keep living like this, need to break free from this kapha in throat issue!

does toop anjan really help with chronic eye strain? any risks? - #2252
I’ve been dealing with terrible eye strain lately, probably from staring at screens all day (WFH life isn’t helping). My eyes feel dry, tired, and sometimes it’s like there’s a burning sensation, especially by evening. My grandmother suggested trying "Toop Anjan," saying it’s been used traditionally for eye issues like dryness and fatigue. I’ve never used any Ayurvedic eye remedies before, so I’m a bit unsure. Does Toop Anjan actually work for modern problems like digital eye strain? Are there any side effects I should be careful about, like irritation or blurry vision? I also wear contact lenses sometimes—would that be a problem with using this?
