Doctors’ responses
Your symptoms, such as chest and nasal congestion, cough with phlegm, and occasional shortness of breath, suggest an imbalance possibly related to Kapha dosha. When Kapha accumulates, it creates excess mucus and blockages, affecting the respiratory system. Here’s tailored guidance blending Ayurvedic insights:
1. Dietary Adjustments: Begin your day with warm water infused with ginger, which helps in clearing mucus. Avoid cold and heavy foods that aggravate Kapha, like dairy, sugar, and fried foods. Incorporate light, warm, and easily digestible foods — think of steamed vegetables, clear soups, and khichdi.
2. Herbs and Spices: Turmeric and black pepper are potent in fighting respiratory issues. You can prepare ‘Golden Milk’ by boiling half a teaspoon of turmeric in a cup of milk with a pinch of black pepper and consume at night. Try Pippali and Tulsi which are acclaimed for their benefits, in tea form for soothing effects.
3. Nasya Therapy: Perform nasya with Anu taila or warm sesame oil. Instill 2-3 drops in each nostril preferably in the morning, empty stomach. This helps clear the nasal passage and reduce congestion.
4. Pranayama & Yoga: Regular practice of breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom and Kapalbhati enhances lung capacity. Ujjayi breathing can relieve shortness of breath. Include asanas such as Bhujangasana and Matsyasana for opening the chest.
5. Lifestyle Modifications: Keep your head elevated during sleep to assist with breathing. Time outdoors with fresh air, particularly in less polluted areas, is beneficial. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil can help in clearing mucus.
If there’s no improvement or symptoms worsen, it’s vital to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation—it’s important not to disregard persistent respiratory issues. While Ayurveda offers supportive measures, certain conditions may necessitate conventional medical treatment.
