For recurring throat pain, hoarseness, frequent ear infections, and weight management, Ayurveda offers an integrated approach focusing on strengthening the immune system, reducing inflammation, and balancing metabolism. For throat issues, Ayurvedic remedies such as Yashtimadhu (licorice root) powder, taken with warm water and a pinch of Trikatu (a blend of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) can soothe the throat, reduce hoarseness, and help prevent infections. Gargling with warm water mixed with Tankana Bhasma (purified borax) or Triphala decoction can relieve inflammation and maintain throat hygiene. To manage weight and metabolic health, incorporating Triphala before bedtime and Guggulu (Commiphora mukul) formulations such as Medohar Guggulu can aid in fat metabolism and weight reduction. For consistent weight loss, daily intake of Vrikshamla (Garcinia indica) before meals can help curb appetite and reduce cravings. Avoid cold and processed foods, and favor warm, light meals with minimal oil and spice, focusing on steamed vegetables, whole grains like barley, and protein sources such as mung dal, which support blood sugar and cholesterol management. To balance Kapha dosha, which contributes to weight gain, sluggish metabolism, and sinus or ear congestion, warm water intake throughout the day is beneficial. Nasya therapy (applying two drops of warm Anu Taila or sesame oil in the nostrils) daily can help clear excess Kapha from the sinuses and prevent ear infections. Practicing Pranayama and gentle yoga daily will boost circulation, improve lung capacity, and aid in weight management.

Hello Smt Savita, In Ayurveda, your throat pain, hoarseness, and frequent ear infections suggest an imbalance in *Pitta* and *Kapha* doshas, often aggravated by excess *Ama* (toxins). For throat issues, remedies like *Yashtimadhu* (licorice tea) or 1/4 tsp yashtimadhu churns mixed in 1/4 tsp honey to be licked twice daily and *Trikatu Churna* (a blend of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) with honey can soothe and clear congestion, while warm saltwater gargles and breathing exercises like *Bhramari* (humming bee breath) support vocal health. For ear infections, Nasya therapy using *Anu Taila* nasal drops can help reduce congestion, and garlic oil may be beneficial as ear drops, under guidance. To manage obesity, associated with excess *Kapha*, try *Triphala* before bed to cleanse digestion, *Guggul* for metabolism, and follow a light, warm diet with spices like cumin and turmeric to support *Agni* (digestive fire). Incorporate daily exercise, yoga poses like *Surya Namaskar*, and a routine with regular mealtimes to stabilize weight and digestion.
