HELLO DEEPTHI,
Based on your symptoms sensitive digestion, heat intolerance, inflammation, sinus/migrains, you likely have pitta-kapha imalance
DIET= ANTI-INFLAMMATORY + PITTA KAPHA PACIFYING
AVOID -spicy, oily, sour , fermented, processed foods, tomatoes, curd, fried items
FAVOUR -cooked vegetables- bottle gourd, ridge gourd, ash gourd, pumpkin -mung dal, rice, millets like kodo/little millet -ghee 1 tsp/day, cumin, coriander, fennel -warm herbal teas ginger-tulsi in moderation -soaked almonds, dates
HYDRATION= warm water or jeera water, avoid cold drinks
LIFESTYLE -wake up before 7 am -warm water sip on rising -mild oil massage weekly use coconut oil-slightly warm -nasya= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning=improves sinus, immunity -avoid day sleep, it aggravates kapha -regular light exercise walk/yoga/pranayam
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) GUDUCHI SATVA= 500 mg with lukewarm water morning empty stomach =cools the system, reduces inflamamtion, boosts immunity gently without heat
2) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water 30 minutes before lunch and dinner =supports digestion, prevents acidity and body heat, balances pitta
3) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night before bed =anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, supports sinus health, prevents rashes
4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with lukewarm water at bedtime =detoxifies gut gently, improves digestion over time
PANCHAKARMA= ANNUAL DETOX You’ve already done virechana in feb- that’s great -cosider nasya therapy during seasonal change especially pre-winter and monsoon -take basti treatment in future= it balances vata and helps long term immunity and gut health
NOTE Since you get body heat with many medications always test with half doses and prefer cooling herbs over heating ones
FINALLY -don’t chase eating everything- aim to eat joyfully what suits you -long standing digestion and immunity issues need consistent support, not quick fixes -avoid mixing ayurveda+allopathy without breaks
THANK YOU

HELLO DEEPTHI,
You’ve had lifelong issues with -poor digestion since childhood -sinus infections (often weather-related) -migraines -chest congestion, sore throat -skin rashes (heat-related) -weak immunity- frequent infections -sensitivity to many treatments (esp, body heat reactions)
These are not isolated symptoms. They reflect a chronic imbalance in your internal systems.
According to Ayurveda, your issues stem from
POOR DIGESTION= weak agni(digestive fire)-> formation of Ama(toxins)
FREQUENT INFECTIONS, LOW IMMUNITY= poor Ojas(vitality) from improper nutrition, chronic stress
SINUS, MUCUS, CONGESTION= accumulated Kapha dosha in respiratory channels
RASHES, HEAT INTOLERANCE, MIGRAINES= elevated Pitta dosha in blood, skin and head
SENSITIVITY TO HEAT-PRODUCING TREATMENTS= high internal pitta
RECURRING ILLNESSES POST AYURVEDIC DETOX= possibly incomplete or unbalanced detox, or poor follow-up recovery
KEY CONCEPT= your internal systems are overloaded and hypersensitive. The gut, immunity, and nervous system are deeply connected. If your digestion is weak, everything downstream-including immune strength, skin, brain function- becomes imbalanced.
TREATMENT GOALS -improve digestion -repair gut lining and build Ojas -prevent recurrence
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 3 months =gentle bowel detox, improves agni, clears ama
2) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp before lunch and dinner with water for 1 month =for acidity, migraines, pitta heat , rashes
3) GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =immune modulator, anti-inflammatory, cooling
4) AMLA RASAYANA= 1 tsp in morning on empty stomach for 3 months =builds Ojas, antioxidant, pitta pacifier
5) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + YASHTIMADHU= 1/2 tsp with honey twice daily =respiratory relief, throat soothing
6) HINGVASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp after meals with warm water =improves digestion, reduces gas, bloating
7) KUTKI CHURNA= 250mg once daily with ghee =detox liver, improves bile, pitta heat
NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning =lubricates sinuses, prevents kapha buildup
STEAM INHALATION= inhale for 5-7 mins during congestion =opens sinuses, melts kapha
MULTANI MITTI + ROSE WATER PACK= apply to rash probes areas twice weekly =soothing and anti-inflammatory
DIET TO BE FOLLOWED Avoid hot, spicy, oily, sour, fermented food-these trigger pitta and kapha
FAVOUR -Warm, freshly cooked food -moong dal khichadi -steamed vegetables (bottle gourd , ridge gourd, pumpkin) -buttermilk with cumin (midday) -ghee (in small amounts- gut healing, improves agni) -amla, soaked raisins (cooling) -cumin-fennel-coriander tea -coconut water (if no cold sensitivity)
AVOID -leftovers, cold/refrigerated food -curd at night -milk + salt/fish combos -brinjal, potatoes, tomatoes -fried, fermented food -red chilli, mustard oil, too much garlic
YOGA -chandra namaskar- cooling alternative to surya namaskar -seated forward bend- calms nervous system -ardha matsyendrasana- aids digestion -viparita karani- reduces migraines
PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom=balances vata, calms mind, improves immunity -sheetali/sheetakari= cools pitta, helps with heat rashes -bhramari= relieves migraines and sinus pressure
HOME REMEDIES -soaked raisins(10 in morning) -cumin fennel coriander tea -turmeric+black pepper+ghee paste(pinch each) -fresh Aloe Vera juive 10 ml -honey+ginger juice(1 tsp each)
You’re not “SICK” in the modern sense. Your body is overloaded, hypersensitivity , and out of rhythm. The goal is not just to treat symptoms but to realign your system to its natural intelligence.
It’s slow layer-by-layer process. No single medicine will “fix” everything . but over 3-6 months, your symptoms can reduce and your energy return.
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

It looks like your body is experiencing an imbalance in the doshas, and your symptoms suggest a vitiation of Pitta dosha, but fear not. It’s not uncommon to experience flare-ups especially during weather changes. Let’s tackle this with a few steps to bring your body back into balance and strengthen your immunity without causing excess body heat.
1. Diet Moderation: Aim for a Sattvic diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Favor cooling Pitta-pacifying foods like cucumbers, melons, leafy greens, and lentils. Reduce spicy, fried, and overly sour foods as these may aggravate Pitta and trigger body heat. Eat smaller, frequent meals to support your digestive fire (Agni) without overburdening it.
2. Herbs and Supplements: Since Chyawanprash is too heating, consider Guduchi tablets, which help enhance immunity and balance Pitta. Another good option is Amalaki (Indian gooseberry), it’s cooling and also aids in digestion. Take 1 tsp of Amalaki powder with a glass of water before meals.
3. Hydration and Cooling: Drink plenty of coconut water or mint tea during daytime. Mint, in particular, has cooling properties and can help in easing sore throats and congestion.
4. Regular Exercise: Gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can reduce stress and enhance circulation without over stimulating your system. Focus on cooling techniques like Sheetali Pranayama for balance.
5. Sleep and Rest: Ensure quality sleep, create a calming evening routine. Try to avoid electronics an hour before sleep and maybe try using a few drops of sandalwood or lavender essential oils on your pillow.
6. Personal Retreat: During your menstrual cycle, favor rest and lighter activities if possible. Respecting your body’s rhythm during this time will help in resetting your Pitta.
7. Digestive Aid: You may drink a decoction of ginger and coriander. Just boil these herbs in water and drink post meals to soothe the digestion process.
Implement these steps consistently, and over time you should notice fewer flare-ups. An important reminder: always consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner, especially before starting new herbs, to tailor further recommendations to your unique prakriti.
To manage your recurring sinus and respiratory issues, as well as improve your digestion and immunity, we should focus on addressing your dosha imbalances. It seems you might have an excess of Pitta dosha, which could be contributing to the body heat and inflammatory conditions like migraines and rashes. Here are some practical steps:
1. Adjust Diet: Try incorporating more Pitta-pacifying foods such as ripe fruits like pears and melons, vegetables like cucumbers and leafy greens, and whole grains like barley and rice. Avoid spicy and sour foods which can aggravate Pitta. Include a practice of eating at regular intervals.
2. Herbal Support: Consider taking Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) which helps in detoxifying and boosting immunity without overheating the body. Take it in a powdered form with water, 1-2 grams twice a day after meals can be beneficial.
3. Hydration & Fluids: Make sure to stay hydrated with water, coconut water, and herbal teas. Avoid caffeinated and sugary drinks as they can disturb your digestion.
4. Digestive Aids: Use mild spices like fennel, coriander, and cumin in your cooking to improve digestive fire (Agni) without adding heat. After meals, you can chew a teaspoon of fennel seeds.
5. Lifestyle Tips: Incorporate a daily routine of gentle yoga and pranayama, especially cooling breathing techniques like Sheetali and Sheetkari pranayama. This can balance your doshas and improve circulation.
6. Proper Rest: Aim for adequate sleep of 7-8 hours, and consider a short mid-afternoon rest if possible, which helps in optimal recovery and immune function.
Generally, enhancing your digestion and balancing Pitta should help with immunity and lowering sensitivity to food triggers. If these issues persist or worsen, consulting an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner would be advisable for a personalized regimen.
