Considering your symptoms, it seems like the underlying issues may involve both a gastric ulcer and systemic inflammation, possibly influenced by your digestive fire (agni) being imbalanced. Here are some suggestions grounded in Siddha-Ayurvedic principles that might help.
Firstly, begin with dietary changes. Avoid spicy, fried, and highly acidic foods as they can aggravate your stomach lining and increase pitta dosha. Opt for a more soothing diet with cooling, alkaline foods such as ripe bananas, melons, aloe vera juice, and coconut water to help calm the inflammation. Including buttermilk with a hint of cumin or mint can aid digestion.
For the gastric ulcer, consider a decoction of licorice root (Mulethi) as it can have healing effects on the stomach lining. Boil 1 teaspoon of crushed licorice in a cup of water, strain, and drink it twice daily. However, be mindful—if you have high blood pressure, licorice might not be suitable for long-term usage.
To address the systemic inflammation, include turmeric (haldi) in your daily regime, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Mix 1/2 teaspoon with warm water or milk. Also, practices like yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) should help reduce stress, which can exacerbate inflammation and digestion issues.
For the burning and tingling sensations, ensure adequate hydration and consider gentle oil massages with sesame oil to improve circulation and soothe the nervous system. Vata imbalance can sometimes manifest these symptoms, so incorporating grounding activities and achieving regular sleep patterns helps.
Since you’re experiencing significant weight loss and persistent pain, it may be important to keep consulting with a healthcare professional for continuous monitoring. Siddha-Ayurvedic practices should complement, rather than replace, any urgent medical treatments needed.
