Why does I get frequently cough - #3560

Dust allergies can be a real annoyance, coupled with your gastric issues and nose blocks, it's understandable that you're looking for some relief. In Ayurveda, this blend of symptoms could be linked to an imbalance in your Vata and Pitta doshas. What's happening is your body's trying to tell you that something's off balance. First off, dealing with that dust allergy. Try to make your living space as dust-free as possible. I know it's not easy, but it makes a world of difference!!! Regularly cleaning spaces, using air filters, and keeping windows closed on windy days helps a bit too. In Ayurveda, there's a herb called Tulsi (Holy Basil) which helps with respiratory problems, including allergies. Chewing a few leaves or having it as an herbal tea might just help soothe the allergic reaction. As for your gastric troubles, it might be that your digestive fire, or Agni, is a bit weakened. Eating warm, cooked foods and avoiding oily, heavy stuff could do the trick. Sip on hot water throughout the day - it helps to maintain Agni. Ginger tea, especially when you have meals, assists digestion too. For the nose block and sneezing, the practice of Nasya can be quite beneficial. Couple drops of sesame oil or Anu Taila in each nostril in the morning can help clear the sinuses. But, do this with caution, especially if your nose feels really stuffy or infected. When it comes to daily practices, ensure your routine promotes balance - wake up early, practice deep breathing, yoga or simple stretches to keep doshas in check. Consistency here is key. Stress and lack of sleep can exacerbate dosha imbalance, so aim for a good night's sleep. When symptoms get intense or if they persist, it’s smart to check in with a local Ayurvedic practitioner or medical professional. They can dive deeper into your prakriti (constitution) and suggest personalized treatments. Stay tuned in to how your body's reacting to these tweaks, and adjust accordingly!
