Advice for Heart Patient Suffering from Tiredness and Constipation - #40096

Hello Thank you for sharing your health concerns. I understand how difficult it can be to manage tiredness and constipation, especially with a heart condition and a stent history. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

1 Triphala Churna 1 teaspoon with warm water At bedtime (Mild natural laxative, cleanses colon, balances Vata & Pitta)

2 Arjunarishta 15–20 ml with equal water After lunch and dinner (Strengthens heart muscles, improves circulation & reduces fatigue)

3 Abhayarishta 15 ml with equal water After dinner (Specifically for chronic constipation without straining)

4 Dashamoolarishta 15 ml with equal water After breakfast (Restores energy, relieves body fatigue)

✅EXTERNAL AND SUPPORTIVE CARE

Warm Abdominal Massage: Use Castor oil + sesame oil (lukewarm) on the abdomen in a clockwise direction before bath. (Stimulates bowel movement and relaxes muscles.)

Gentle Abhyanga (body oil massage) twice a week with Ksheerabala Taila improves circulation and reduces fatigue.

✅ Dietary Advice (Ahara)

Eat light, warm, freshly cooked food. Include boiled vegetables, ghee, and soaked raisins daily. Drink lukewarm water or jeera-ajwain water throughout the day to aid digestion. Add 1 tsp of ghee in warm milk at bedtime for natural lubrication of intestines. Increase intake of papaya, banana, cooked bottle gourd, and oats.

❌Avoid Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods like salads, bakery items, and excessive tea/coffee. Avoid late-night meals or long fasting hours.

✅ Lifestyle (Vihara)

Morning routine:

Drink 1 glass of warm water with few drops of lemon on waking. Practice mild walking (20–30 min) daily for circulation.

Evening routine:

Gentle yoga: Pavanamuktasana, Vajrasana after meals, Shavasana for relaxation. Practice deep breathing or Anulom Vilom for 10 minutes to oxygenate heart tissues and relieve fatigue.

Your symptoms of tiredness and constipation are Vata-related imbalances often seen post-heart ailments. By supporting digestion and gentle rejuvenation, energy and bowel regularity will gradually improve.

Recommended regimen: 👉 Triphala churna (bedtime) + Arjunarishta (post-meal) 👉 Ghee with milk at night 👉 Warm water, gentle walk, early dinner, and stress-free sleep routine.

Wishing you a good health😊

HELLO,

You had a stent placed 7 years ago, which means your heart arteries once had a blockage that was treated. Now your blood pressure and tests are normal- good. However, you feel tired (lack of energy) and constipated (hard or delayed stools)

In Ayurveda, your symptoms point toward: -Vata imbalance= the dosha that controls movement, nerve impulses, circulation, and elimination -Low Agni (digestive fire)= causing incomplete digestion, toxin formation, and weakness -Dhatukshaya = tissue depletion due to age, medications or stress

Because the heart is the seat of both Ojas (vital energy) and Vyana vata (circulatory energy), any imbalance in digestion or bowel movement directly affects cardiac strength and overall stamina

TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata dosha -strengthen digestion -nourish heart and Ojas -detox gently -rejuvenate

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 6 months = mild natural laxative, tones colon, removes toxins

5) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp morning on empty stomach for 3 months = enhances immunity, energy, and Ojas

DIET -GRAINS= old rice, oats, wheat, barley -LEGUMES= moong dal, Mansoor dal well cooked -VEGETABLES= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, spinach, beetroot, carrots -FRUITS= papaya, banana, apple stews, soaked raisins, figs, dates -HEALTHY FATS= cow ghee 1 tsp/day, olive oil -SPICES= cumin, fennel ,coriander, turmeric, ajwain, black peper -LIQUIDS= warm water with lemon or cumin, herbal teas with tulsi, ginger or cardamom

AVOID -dry, stale, reheated, or processed foods -deep fried, spicy, or excessively sour foods -cold drinks, iced water, alcohol ,caffeine drinks -heavy pulses- rajama,chana until digestion improves

LIFESTYLE AND REMEDIES -SLEEP= 7-8 hours nightly, avoid late nights ; nap briefly if fatigued -ROUTINE= eat, sleep ,and walk at regular times- stabilises vata -HYDRATION= sip warm water through the day, not cold -BOWEL CARE= every morning drink 1 glass warm water + 1 tsp ghee and 5-6 soaked raisins -OIL MASSAGE= weekly self oil massage with sesame oil whole body before warm shower -STRESS MANAGEMENT= meditation or soft music daily , avoid emotional strain

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

ASANAS -tadasana= improves posture, breathing -bhujangasana -shavasana -setu bandhasana -vajrasana after meals for 5 min

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilomm= Balances Vata, calms mind -Bhramari= reduces anxiety, good for heart rhythm -Deep diaphragmatic breathing= increases oxygenation, relieves fatigue -Avoid kapalbhati and bhastrikaa

Your symptoms are reversible with consistent ayurvedic care, improved digestion, and gentle lifestyle changes -The key is balancing vata- through warmth, oiliness, routine, and calmness -Never stop prescribed heart medicines without consulting cardiologist -Ayurveda aims to restore energy naturally while keeping your heart strong and your digestion smooth -Expect improvement gradually over 4-8 weeks, first in bowel regularity then energy then mood and sleep

Given your condition as a heart patient with a history of a stent, tiredness and constipation can be managed through careful attention to diet, lifestyle, and possibly some gentle herbal support. To address your tiredness, it’s essential to ensure that your body is getting adequate rest and proper nutrition that supports your heart health and energies. Consider integrating foods that lift and sustain energy levels, such as whole grains, fresh fruits like apples & pears (which compliment the vata dosha), healthy fats from nuts & seeds, and leafy greens.

In Ayurveda, constipation is often linked with an imbalance in the vata dosha. To support regular bowel movements, ensure you are staying hydrated throughout the day, sipping warm water rather than cold. Consuming fiber-rich foods such as cooked vegetables, whole grains, lentils (mung beans, is especially effective), and a small serving of ghee on an empty stomach in the morning can be beneficial. Triphala is a classical Ayurvedic formulation known for promoting gut health and comfortable elimination. You might take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water before bed.

Yoga and Pranayama can effectively address both tiredness and digestive issues. Gentle yoga poses like Supta Baddha Konasana or Balasana, followed by deep breathing exercises, can help balance energy and improve digestion. Practising a regular routine with early bedtimes and consistent waking can help create a rhythm that supports your natural sleep-wake cycle.

Be sure to consult your cardiologist before making any major changes, particularly with regard to herbs and dietary changes, to ensure safety with your existing medical conditions and treatments. It’s important to monitor any adjustments closely to ensure they harmonize well with your current treatment plan and condition.

Start with Ashwagandha churan 0-0-1tsp at bedtime with warm milk will improve your physical strength and calm you mentally. Tablet Liv-52 1-0-1 after food with water will improve your digestion so with time can get rid of constipation Tablet Triphala tablet 0-0-2 after dinner with warm water , will help cleanse your intestine and relieve constipation Include fresh green vegetables in your diet Do pranamyam lom -vilom bhastrika kapalbhati brahmri daily for 5-10mins twice

Tiredness and constipation can both relate back to imbalances in your system that may be worth addressing through specific Siddha-Ayurvedic practices. Especially given your cardiac history, it is crucial to approach this carefully. Let’s consider a few strategies:

Firstly, your tiredness could be linked to an imbalance in your Vata dosha, as Vata governs movement and energy levels in the body. To manage this, adopting a smoother daily routine with consistent sleep and wake times may help. Follow a warm, nutritious diet that includes root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets, which are grounding and balancing for Vata. Incorporating ghee and sesame oil in your meals can also be beneficial.

For constipation, it’s important to enhance your digestive fire, or Agni. You might try starting your day with warm water and a sprinkling of lime juice, which can stimulate the bowels. Herbal remedies like Triphala taken at night, before bed, can be gentle yet effective for relieving constipation, provided they are safe for your cardiac condition. Warm Ayurvedic teas made with cumin, coriander, and fennel throughout the day can support digestion too.

In a lifestyle context, incorporating moderate physical activity suitable for your heart condition, like walking or gentle yoga, could also help alleviate tiredness and improve digestion. Remember to listen to your body and not overexert yourself.

Given your heart condition, it’s paramount to discuss any new dietary or lifestyle changes with your doctor to ensure they align well with your current medical regimen. Always prioritize safety in such matters.
