It sounds like your body has been carrying layers of inflammation, immune exertion, and nervous system, dysregulation for many years and with long Covid on top of recurrent staph over growth SIBO , MCAA, dysautonomia, arthritis , thyroid imbalance, and chronically, low white cells, the system has gone into a state of deep depletion where every tissue feels drained and reactive at the same time In Ayurveda, it is due to vata pitta aggravation with ojas depletion where immunity becomes weak, the gut becomes over sensitive joints in flame, easily hormones, fluctuate, and the entire autonomic system stays in a threat mode Your body as simply been fighting for too long without recovery, and now it needs rebuilding slowly, gently and very steadily Ayurvedic treatment year does not replace medical care, but it can support strength, inflammation, and daily stability. So the system begins to recover instead of collapsing further. Start with Ashwagandha capsule Giloy tab Shatavari tab Twice daily after food with warm milk Amlaki rasayana 1 teaspoon with warm water once daily Bilwadi churna-half teaspoon twice daily after lunch and dinner with warm water Maharasnadi kashayam 15 ML with equal amount of water twice daily after meals Do whole body massage with warm sesame oil weekly twice? Continue your previous allopathic medication
Managing multiple health issues like long COVID symptoms, SIBO, MCAS, and septic arthritis can be exceptionally challenging, particularly with existing immune dysfunction and metabolic imbalances. Focusing on restoring balance with Ayurveda can be beneficial.
Firstly, understanding your prakriti is crucial, as it will guide tailored interventions. If your constitution is already known, please work around it; if not, considering consulting a local certified Ayurvedic practitioner to determine it accurately might be beneficial.
Digestive health, or Agni, is central. Try incorporating fresh ginger tea (1-inch piece in hot water) twice a day, enhancing digestive fire, combating SIBO. Avoid foods aggravating Vata and Pitta. Favor warm, unprocessed meals—think kitchari, with triphala before bedtime, aiding digestion and detox.
Your immune system, visibly compromised, could gain from herbs like Ashwagandha (500 mg, 2x daily) and Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia). They’re known for their immune modulating properties. Please align these with current medications to avoid adverse interactions.
For arthritis, consider a blend of turmeric, black pepper, and ghee—this traditional concoction fights inflammation. Apply Mahanarayan oil or a warm sesame oil massage to the afflicted knee, boosting circulation and reducing pain. Avoid heavy, dry, or cold foods exacerbating joint discomfort.
Regular pranayama practices—nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing)—beneficial for MCAS, balancing nervous system dysregulation (Dysautonomia). Just ten minutes daily, calm daytime.
Your cholesterol echoes potential Kapha imbalance. Keep diet low on saturated fats, prioritize fibers. Flaxseeds, chia seeds work wonders. Any drastic diet shifts should be monitored by a doctor.
Due to complexity and integrated interactions within these conditions, it’s vital to maintain ongoing conversations with healthcare specialists, ensuring treatments harmonize without conflict.
