Kapha Ayurvedic Medicine - #3354

I’ve been reading a lot about Ayurveda, and I came across the concept of doshas. I suspect I might have a kapha imbalance because I always feel sluggish, especially in the mornings. It’s like my energy is weighed down, and I often get sinus issues or congestion, particularly during colder weather. I’ve also noticed that I easily gain weight even when I’m not eating that much. This led me to explore kapha ayurvedic medicine, but I’m still confused about what’s best for balancing kapha. Recently, I tried drinking warm ginger tea, as I heard it’s good for kapha, but I didn’t feel much difference. Someone also recommended I use trikatu, but I’m unsure if it’s suitable for my body. Is trikatu a good kapha ayurvedic medicine? Are there any other herbs or formulations I should focus on? One of my main struggles is that I crave sweets all the time, and I know that’s not ideal for kapha. Could that be making my imbalance worse? I tried cutting down on dairy and heavy foods, but I still feel like my body is holding onto water weight or toxins. Also, how can I identify which kapha ayurvedic medicine is genuinely effective? There are so many options online, from ashwagandha to guggulu, and it’s overwhelming. Are there specific medicines for issues like sluggish digestion, heaviness, or sinus congestion related to kapha? Should I be focusing on external therapies as well? I’ve heard that massages with warming oils or steam treatments might help. Are there specific oils or routines you recommend alongside kapha ayurvedic medicine? Lastly, could you explain if kapha ayurvedic medicine should be used daily or only when I feel symptoms? I don’t want to overdo it but also want to stay proactive.
