Start with Tablet Liv-52 1-0-1 after food with water Avipattikar tablet 1-0-1 after food with water Yastimadhu churan 1tsp twice daily after food with honey. Avoid processed fatty fast sugary fried street foods.
Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in the Vata dosha, particularly in the Udana Vata, which governs breathing and exhalation, and Apana Vata, related to digestion. This is leading to gas accumulation and discomfort. Let’s look at some practical Ayurvedic approaches to manage your condition.
Firstly, start with dietary modifications. Avoid gas-producing foods such as beans, cabbage, onions, and carbonated beverages. Instead, incorporate warm, easily digestible foods like khichdi, soups and cooked vegetables. Adding a small amount of ginger to your meals can help ignite agni (digestive fire) and reduce bloating. Avoid consuming cold foods and drinks and opt for warm water, which helps in digestion and reduces gas formation.
For relief from bloating and to aid digestion, triphala can be quite beneficial. Taking a teaspoon of triphala powder with warm water before bed can aid in regularizing bowel movements and balance Vata. But be cautious, given your symptoms are quite severe, it’s best to start with a smaller dose and observe how your body reacts.
Practicing Pranayama, especially gentle Anulom Vilom, is advantageous for promoting healthy lung function and soothing your respiratory system. Engage in daily practice, ideally during morning hours when the air is fresh, to support your breathing capacity.
Massage your abdomen gently with warm sesame oil in circular motions to ease gas. This encourages proper elimination and pacifies Vata. Also, applying a warm compression br Pad does to your abdomen can provide relief.
As the cold and cough you experience may also exacerbate your breathing issues, drink tulsi and ginger tea. Boil basil leaves and a piece of ginger in water, steep, and drink it warm, especially during cold weather.
Temperature control is essential, so wear warm clothing and avoid exposure to cold to prevent symptoms of colds and coughs which you’re experiencing. Likewise, keep your sleeping environment warm to minimize difficulties during the night.
For immediate concerns or if your symptoms worsen, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or seek urgent medical attention. Timely intervention is key, especially when respiratory distress becomes prominent. Make sure to monitor your body’s response to these changes and reach out to professionals when necessary.
