With your condition, it’s crucial to approach this holistically. The dominance of Vata along with some Pitta aggravation could be contributing to both your gastritis and body pain. To calm the Vata, start by incorporating warm, soothing foods into your diet. Think of well-cooked rice with moong dal, seasoned lightly with cumin and a dash of hing (asafoetida). Avoid raw, cold foods, which can exacerbate Vata.
For severe gastritis, a decoction made from jeera (cumin) and coriander seeds may soothe the inflammation—boil a teaspoon of each in water, and drink this twice daily. This helps pacify the Pitta too. Stress management is key, so practicing gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) could help balance the excessive Vata and Pitta.
Addressing chronic fatigue and low iron, consider including natural sources of iron in your diet like leafy greens, black sesame seeds, and jaggery. Pair them with vitamin C-rich foods like amla (Indian gooseberry) or citrus fruits to enhance absorption.
For the body pain, applying warm sesame oil with a few drops of ginger oil or eucalyptus oil may provide relief. Please also explore guided meditation to nurture a state of mental equilibrium, which is paramount in managing Vata-related issues.
Given your fungal oesophageal infection and previous colon polyps, regular medical follow-up is vital. Ayurveda should complement, not replace, allopathic care. If symptoms like sharp abdominal pain or unusual bleeding emerge, it’s urgent to consult a doctor immediately. Make sure to discuss all new treatments with your healthcare provider to prevent any interactions or complications.
