HELLO VIDY SETH,
Let’s first understand each of your problem
A) ACIDITY AND POOR DIGESTION Your stomach is producing too much acid or not digesting food properly. This could be due to irregular eating, stress, wrong food combinations, or weak digestion . It causes burning, bloating, gas or discomfort
B) SLEEPLESSNESS (INSOMNIA) You are either unable to fall asleep or wake up frequently. This can happen due to stress, acidity, worry, excessive thinking, or weak nerves. In Ayurveda, this is a vata-pitta imbalance, often worsened by poor lifestyle and digestion
C) HIGH CHOLESTROL AND PRE-DIABETES These are early signs of metabolic issues. Your body isn’t breaking down fat and sugar properly. This leads to blockages (ama) and kapha imbalance, increasing risk of diabetes, heart disease, and weight gain
D) BLEEDING GUMS Bleeding while brushing or spontaneously may indicate excess heat in the blood (pitta), poor oral hygiene, or nutritional defiencincies like vitamin c
E) TINGLING IN ONE FINGER Tingling in the middle finger may be due to nerve issue, either from neck spine (cervical spondylosis), Nerve compression or early diabetic neuropathy. In Ayurveda, this is vata disorder affecting nerves

Addressing the issues you’ve mentioned requires a comprehensive approach rooted in Ayurvedic principles. For your acidity, look into the balance of pitta dosha, which, when aggravated, can cause hyperacidity. Incorporating cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and amla (Indian gooseberry) can be beneficial. Avoid spicy, fermented and deep-fried food, especially at night.
For slow digestion, enhancing agni, or digestive fire, is key. Begin your meals with a slice of ginger sprinkled with rock salt about 30 minutes before eating. Fennel and coriander seeds can also aid, so consider sipping on an infusion made from these seeds after meals. Stay hydrated, but avoid drinking large amounts of water during meals, as it can dilute digestive juices.
The tingling sensation in your middle finger could be indicative of vata imbalances. Gentle oil massages with warm sesame oil on your hand can help. A simple hand stretching routine daily could alleviate discomfort.
High levels of cholesterol might be addressed by incorporating more fibrous foods, such as oats, beans, and a variety of green vegetables like spinach and kale. Garlic is known for its cholesterol-lowering properties, so adding raw garlic or a garlic supplement might aid in regulation. Exercise consistentl for better vascular health.
Insomnia and borderline diabetes may share a connection with stress and lifestyle factors. Consuming warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or ashwagandha powder before bed can calm the mind and encourage sleep. Establish a regular sleep schedule by retiring and rising at the same times daily.
Bleeding gums might be a sign of vitamin C deficiency or improper oral hygiene. Increase your intake of foods rich in vitamin C like oranges, lemons, and guavas. Apart from brushing, consider gargling with warm salt water to reduce inflammation and massaging gums with a mixture of turmeric and salt.
It’s crucial to observe if there’s a consistent pattern or trigger for these symptoms. Consulitng an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan would provide the best results, especially to determine your constitution and any specific herbs or therapies that would benefit you.
The mix of symptoms you’re experiencing can often tie back to an imbalance of the doshas, particularly pitta and vata. Let’s break down some strategies rooted in Siddha-Ayurveda that you might find beneficial.
For acidity and slow digestion, your agni (digestive fire) likely needs support. Start by incorporating fresh ginger tea with a dash of lemon and honey before meals. Avoid heavy, fried foods and too many spicy dishes; they can exacerbate pitta and vata imbalances. Chewing on a few fennel seeds after meals might help ease digestion and reduce acidity over time.
Troubles with sleep and restlessness indicate an unsettled vata. Try establishing a grounding bedtime routine. Drink a warm cup of spiced milk with nutmeg or ashwagandha about an hour before bed. Create a calming environment by dimming lights and reducing screen time well before sleeping.
For tingling in the middle finger, mild vata aggravation might be affecting your nadis (energy channels). Gentle yoga focusing on hand and wrist stretches, coupled with warm sesame oil self-massage, could alleviate this. Pay attention if this persists or worsens; consult a healthcare provider to rule out neurological issues.
Bleeding gums suggest possible imbalances in your rakta dhatu (blood tissue). Oil pulling with sesame oil and brush with a soft-bristle brush using a herbal toothpaste containing neem or licorice, known to support gum health, can be beneficial.
Lastly, ensure appropriate hydration and fresh fruits intake because they can support high cholesterol and borderline diabetes management. Fenugreek seeds soaked overnight might help in lowering cholesterol levels, but keep in touch with your healthcare provider for monitoring. Addressing these aspects holistically might bring gradual balance and relief into your routine.
