HELLO,
Your wife’s symptoms- pain and inflammation throughout the body- indicate that her body’s metabolism and immune balance are disturbed
FROM AN AYURVEDIC POINT OF VIEW, this happens mainly due to two things
1) WEAK DIGESTION -when food is not digested properly it forms Ama, which means sticky, undigested toxins in the body. Ama blocks body chapels, reduces oxygenation, and triggers inflammation and pain
2) VATA AND PITTA IMBALANCE -Vata causes pain, stiffness, dryness and fatigue -Pitta causes inflammation, redess, burning, and heat Together, they form a chronic inflammatory start- often called Ama vata (if joints are mainly affected) or systemic ama conditions if all tissues are involved
ROOT CAUSE -HEAVY, NON VEGETARIAN DIET= difficult to digest-> produces toxins (ama) -LACK OF EXERCISE= sluggish metabolism , toxin accumulation -AGE 52 YEARS, menopause= vata increases naturally-> dryness and pain -STRESS OR IRREGULAR SLEEP= increase pitta and vata-> inflammation worsens
So, this is not just inflammation in one organ; it’s a systemic toxin-accumulation condition involving the gut, liver, joints, and immunity
TREATMENT GOALS -remove ama (detoxify body) -pacify vata and pitta reduce pain and inflamamtion -improve digestion and metabolism -strengthen liver ad immune system - rejuvenate tissues -prevent recurrence through diet and lifestyle correction

Inflammation spread throughout the body involves a deeper understanding of her unique constitution, or prakriti, alongside her current lifestyle. In Ayurveda, this condition may arise from an imbalance of doshas, particularly Pitta dosha, which is often linked to heat and inflammation within the body. To address this, a multi-faceted approach can be beneficial.
First, focus on cooling and anti-inflammatory foods that can help pacify Pitta. Encourage your wife to include more vegetables like cucumber, zucchini, and leafy greens in her diet. Fruits such as pomegranates, pears, and cherries also have cooling properties. Coconut water is a soothing beverage, and a great source to stay hydrated.
Tell her to reduce or avoid red meats and opt for lighter proteins, like fish or chicken, which are easier to digest. Since her lifestyle is not very active, incorporating gentle exercises such as walking or yoga can improve circulation and support metabolism without aggravating inflammation.
The herb Turmeric, known as Haridra in Ayurveda, contains the active compound curcumin, which is well-celebrated for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It can be added to meals or taken as a supplement after consulting with a local healthcare professional, especially if she takes other medications.
In terms of daily routine, consider advising her to establish a calming ritual. This might involve setting aside time to meditate or practice diaphragmatic breathing for stress reduction—both aid in maintaining emotional balance, an often-overlooked aspect of physical health. Encourage a regular sleep schedule that supports natural body rhythms and detoxification processes.
Avoid spicy, fermented, and excessively processed or refined foods, which can irritate and increase Pitta. Moderate her caffeine and alcohol consumption, aiming instead for herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint. Adequate rest and stress management play crucial roles in immune health and inflammation reduction.
However, if inflammation persists or worsens, it’s important to consult a medical professional in Australia to rule out underlying conditions that might require immediate attention.
Inflammation is a signal of imbalance in the body, often linked to an excess of pitta dosha according to Ayurveda. To alleviate this, dietary adjustments and lifestyle changes can be significant. Start by minimizing foods that increase pitta, such as spicy, oily, and overly sour items. Instead, introduce cooling and calming foods, including those with sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes. Foods like cucumber, leafy greens, and gourds can be helpful. Turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory; consider adding it to her meals. A teaspoon of turmeric powder mixed in warm milk with a pinch of pepper can be consumed once daily. It’s essential to ensure it’s from a reliable source to avoid contamination.
Incorporate some activity into her routine, even if it’s a short walk or gentle yoga. Practicing mindfulness or meditation can help calm the mind, which in turn supports reducing inflammation. Adequate hydration is crucial: aim for 2-3 liters of water daily. Herbal teas such as chamomile or peppermint, taken after meals, can assist digestion and reduce inflammation.
Avoid cold and raw foods in excess, as they can dampen agni (digestive fire), resulting in more imbalance. Instead, opt for warm, freshly cooked meals. The regular inclusion of ghee in her diet could also help balance pitta without aggravating inflammation. If pain and inflammation persist or worsen, seeking medical attention would be critical to rule out any underlying conditions before continuing with any regime. Adjustments may be necessary if her condition doesn’t improve, or makes it harder to handle daily life activities.
