Dr. Harsha Joy · Answer

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and associated pelvic pain can significantly impact your quality of life, and reliance on painkillers can often lead to additional health concerns. In Ayurveda, PID is often linked to imbalances in Kapha and Pitta doshas, which can contribute to inflammation and discomfort. To manage your condition, consider incorporating herbs such as Ginger and Turmeric, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, along with Ashoka and Guggulu, which may help address pelvic pain and promote healing in the reproductive system.

Additionally, focusing on a diet rich in iron, such as leafy greens, lentils, and beets, can help combat anemia, while pairing these foods with vitamin C-rich sources (like citrus fruits) can enhance iron absorption. Herbal formulations like Triphala can support digestion and detoxification, aiding in overall wellness. Regular Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm oil can also relieve tension and improve circulation in the pelvic area.

Gentle yoga practices focused on relaxation and stretching, such as Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose), can help alleviate pelvic pain. If you could share more about your symptoms, lifestyle, and any treatments you've tried, it would be helpful in creating a more personalized Ayurvedic approach for your health concerns.
