how to reduce inflammation in body and cells - #34910

Marie Akin

I have chronic allergies that started after stressful events. I was in a toxic relationship that made things worse. How do I detox my body (liver, kidney, blood, brain). I have history of mercury fillings which I have removed many years ago. I hear that hides in the fatty tissue of the brain so I want to be careful not to move that around if I can’t get rid of it permanently. I just want to reduce overall inflammation. Hoping for a regimen I can follow for at least 90 days.

HELLO MARIE,

You are experiencing systemic inflammation and hypersensitivity (allergies) that began after chronic stress and emotional trauma. Stress dysregulates your immune and hormonal systems (particularly the HPA axis- hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal). This can -increase cortisol and adrenaline, causing immune imbalance -weaken detox pathways (liver, kidney, lymph) -trigger inflammatory cytokines, leading to allergies, fatigue, brain fog, and skin or sinus symptoms -mercury exposure (from old fillings) may add to oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation, especially in the brain and fatty tissues

In Ayurvedic view your symptoms represent vata-pitta vitiation with ama accumulation

so , you are in a state of vata-pitta aggravation with low Ojas and presence of Ama- causing inflammation, hypersensitivity, and fatigue

TREATMENT GOALS -detoxify the body gently -pacify vata and pitta -rebuild Ojas -support safe removal of stored toxins -rebalance digestion -restore mind body harmony through routine, meditation, and restorative practices

INTERNAL TREATMENT

FOR DIGESTIVE FIRE CORRECTION -TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp before meals with warm water for 4-6 weeks =improves metabolism and clear toxins

FOR LIVER DETOX AND ANTI INFLAMATIORY -GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= twice daily after meals for 3 months =cools inflammation, supports liver, builds immunity

FOR KIDNEY AND FLUID METABOLISM -PUNARNAVA CAPSULES= 500 mg twice daily for 3 months =clears skin, blood, and lymph of toxins

FOR NERVINE AND ADAPTOGEN -ASHWAGANDHA CAPSULES= 500 mg twice daily after meal for 3 months =calms stress, supports brain and adrenals

FOR BRAIN AND MERCURY SUPPORT -BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily for 3 months =neuroprotective, supports gentle detox from brain

FOR REJUVINATION -CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp morning empty stomach =rebuilds Ojas, strengthens lungs, skin , immunity

FOR GUT CLEANSE -TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =cleanses intestines, balances all doshas

YOGA, MEDITATION, PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances vata , pitta and calms nervous system -sheetali/sheetkari= cooling breath, reduces inflammation -anulom vilom= detoxifies lungs, improves oxygenation

YOGA ASANAS -cat-cow pose -forward bend -spinal twist -legs up the wall

MEDITATION -reduces stress heals trauma stabilises immunity for 20 min/day

WALKING IN NATURE -grounding, vata balance 20-30 min/day

DIET -warm , freshly cooked, mildly spiced meals -khichdi (mung dal + basmati rice + ghee + turmeric + cumin + coriander + fennel) -steamed vegetables- zucchini, pumpkin, beetroot, spinach, bottle gourd -healthy fats= ghee, olive oil ,coconut oil -herbs= turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamom -warm water with lemon or ginger in morning -herbal teas= cumin-coriander-fennel , tulsi , guduchi, licorice, chamomile -fruits= ripe papaya, pomegranate, pear, apple (cooked if digestion weak) -soaked almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds

AVOID -processed foods, fried, spicy, sour, fermented foods -alcohol, coffee, black tea -red meat, leftover foods -artificial sweetners , white sugar -dairy if allergic or congestive

HOME REMEDIES -Turmeric milk at night -CCF tea= sip warm all day -aloe vera juice= 1 tbsp before meals -lemon + ghee detox= 1 tsp ghee in warm water each morning -triphala eye wash

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -sleep early 10 pm and rise with sunrise -maintain regular routine -avoid multitasking, overstimulation, emotional drama -gentle sunlight exposure for vitamin D -practice gratitude, journaling, and grounding -avoid suppressing natural urge (urination, sneezing, hunger, tears ) -spend time in nature- bare feet on grass balances vata instantly

Your body isn’t broken- it’s overloaded and seeking balance Healing inflamation after trauma is as much emotional detox as physical. Ayurveda teaches that the mind, body , and enivronment are one.

Be patient- true detox and cellular repair take time -focus on consistency, calmness ,and nourishment not deprivation -Avoid aggressive “detox kits” or chelation programs unless medically supervised

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Reducing inflammation in your body through Ayurveda involves a holistic approach that considers your unique constitution, or prakriti, and addresses the root causes. Let’s explore some practical steps. To start detoxifying your system, a gentle Panchakarma routine may be beneficial under the guidance of an experienced practitioner, as it helps cleanse toxins, or ama, and balance your doshas.

Begin your day with warm lemon water to aid digestion and wake up your agni, or digestive fire. Follow a diet that pacifies inflammation by including fresh, organic vegetables, and reduce pro-inflammatory foods such as processed foods, sugar, and alcohol. Turmeric and ginger are powerful anti-inflammatory agents; use them often in your cooking or as teas. Triphala, an ayurvedic herb blend, is fantastic for gently detoxifying the liver and aiding digestion; consider taking it in powder form at night with warm water.

Practices like Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can be calming and supportive to both mind and body, drawing toxins back to the digestive tract for elimination. Carefully chose yoga practices and pranayama exercises such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) would maintain balance.

Your lifestyle will be significant here, too; prioritize regular sleep, maintain consistent meals, and minimize stress through meditation. Ensure you get enough rest and aim to sleep by 10 p.m.; the body’s natural detox phase happens during early nighttime hours.

For any concerns related to mercury or its detoxification, consulting with both a qualified healthcare provider and an Ayurvedic specialist is essential. Some detox protocols can mobilize the toxins without adequate elimination pathways, leading to redistribution instead of excretion. Therefore, professional guidance will be vital to ensure safe and effective detoxification. Be consistent with the regimen for the full 90 days to let your body adjust and improve.

Inflammation often has deep roots in how imbalances in the body impact your overall wellness. Given your situation, the goal should be on reducing inflammation through balancing the doshas, primarily Pitta, since it relates to fire and metabolism. We’ll focus on gentle but effective detoxification pathways that harmonize with your current needs.

Start with incorporating Triphala into your daily regimen. It’s a traditional formulation that’s excellent for detoxifying the colon and has antioxidant properties. Take 1 teaspoon in warm water before bed.

Next, address your diet by including anti-inflammatory foods. Leafy greens, turmeric, ginger, and amalaki (Indian gooseberry) can be very beneficial. Reduce intake of processed foods and heavy meats that could stress the liver and other digestive organs.

For liver detoxification, you might want to use herbs like Bhumi Amla, which is gentle yet supportive of liver function. You can take these as capsules after consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Support your kidneys and blood purification with Punarnava and Manjistha, respectively. These are excellent for enhancing renal function and circulation. Typically, these should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning, but precise doses will need a holistic assessment of your constitution.

To avoid mobilizing toxins excessively, enhance Agni (digestive fire) without overheating your system. Sip warm water throughout the day mixed with cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds.

For the mind, practice meditation or prana exercises — focusing on calming your thoughts and reducing stressors that led to this situation. Try to incorporate 15 minutes in the morning and evening.

Ensure your detox regimen is overseen by a professional who can adjust it to your personal Prakriti and Vikriti. This approach is holistic, aiming to balance doshas gradually, preventing disturbances such as mercury moving improperly within tissues.
