Doctors' responses
Kaanchanaara Gulgulu Gulika is a classical Ayurvedic formulation often used to address cysts and glandular swellings. It is believed to help balance the doshas, mainly targeting the Kapha and Vata imbalances, which are often linked with the formation of cysts. In your case, taking Kaanchanaara Gulgulu can serve a dual purpose. While it aids in resolving current infections by reducing inflammation and assisting in draining pus, it can also minimize the likelihood of new cysts forming.
The formulation works gradually, clearing blockages in the body’s channels or ‘srotas’, which helps prevent recurrences. However, it is crucial to complement this with proper lifestyle and dietary choices to manage underlying causes like poor digestion or hormonal imbalances. Eating light, easy-to-digest foods, avoiding excessive dairy, sugar, and fried items, and including warm, cooked foods can enhance digestion (agni) and curb Kapha build-up.
Additionally, it may be beneficial to incorporate dietary options that boost the immune response and reduce cyst formation tendencies. Fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and light spices like turmeric and ginger can support the body’s balance. Managing stress through meditation or yoga is also invaluable, as stress often aggravates Vata doshas and could worsen the condition.
It remains essential to monitor the symptoms closely and liaise with your healthcare provider. Regular check-ups should not be ignored, mainly if the infection does not subsides or symptoms persist. Ayurveda can be effectively integrated with conventional treatments, but never replace medical advice where timely intervention is needed, especially in infection-prone cases.
