THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
Take Lakshmi vilasa 1-0-1 Sanjeevini vati 1-0-1 Lavangadi vati 1-0-1 Sithophaladi churna 1/2-0-1/2 tsp with honey Avoid cold refrigerated fried n dairy products Drink warm water throughout the day
It appears you may be experiencing some kapha imbalance, which often leads to issues like persistent cold and cough, especially under conditions you mentioned — exposure to cold, rain, and consumption of cold or dairy products. The kapha dosha is attributes a moist, cold, heavy, and static quality, which makes symptoms worsen in cold and wet conditions.
First and foremost, try to avoid triggers that you identified. This means minimizing exposure to cold wind and rain and reducing intake of cold drinks, juices, and dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese. Opt for warm meals and beverages whenever possible. Herbal teas like ginger, tulsi (holy basil), and cinnamon can help balance kapha dosha and alleviate symptoms.
Dietary changes can also make significant difference. Favor warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Eating more barley, millet, and rye can be beneficial. Spices like black pepper, turmeric, and cumin should be incorporated into your meals to help support your digestive fire, or agni. These spices have warming properties and might help in alleviating symptoms.
Practices such as nasya, which involves applying medicinal oil drops like Anu taila into the nostrils, could help clear sinus passages and reduce kapha accumulation. This should be done once or twice daily, ideally during the morning and before bed.
Try to engage in regular exercise or yoga. Physical activity is essential for balancing kapha, aim for 30 minutes of a brisk walk or yoga daily. It helps improve circulation and reduce the sluggishness often associated with kapha.
Incorporate pranayama practices such as kapalabhati or bhastrika, which help clear excess kapha from the respiratory system by boosting your respiratory capacity.
Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen, consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized approach or consider seeing a medical professional for a thorough evaluation to rule out any serious conditions.
