Doctors' responses
Considering your wife’s busy lifestyle and the challenges she faces with back pain and allergic reactions, it is essential to address both these issues proactively. Her long working hours on her feet, and the lack of proper arch support likely contribute significantly to her back pain. Encouraging her to wear shoes that provide good arch support may help distribute her body weight more evenly and reduce strain on her back. Custom orthopedic inserts or high-quality footweat might be worth considering.
In terms of Ayurvedic approach, the improvement of Vata dosha balance, which governs movement and physiological functions, may alleviate her discomfort. A warm sesame oil massage on the back before bedtime can promote relaxation of muscles. Additionally, herbs like Ashwagandha and Guggulu are known for their anti-inflammatory properties which could benefit her. Consumption of these under proper guidance can support muscle relaxations and joint health.
For her allergies, it may be helpful for her to avoid metals and stick to natural fibers as already practiced. Since true allergies shouldn’t be ignored, seeking out health profesionals, which you seem to be doing, will help in managing symptoms effectively. Improving the quality of Agni (digestive fire) can also help bolster her body’s response to allergens. Including spices like ginger, cumin and coriander in her diet can support stronger digestion. Enhancing digestion, can enhance her immune response.
Practical lifestyle modifications such as ensuring she takes short breaks, even during her long work hours, for stretching or sitting in the resting chair can help manage fatigue and back discomfort. Combining these Ayurvedic practices with modern solutions, she’ll be able to experience a more effective management of her conditions.
