The symptoms you’re experiencing suggest an imbalance in the Kapha dosha with possible Vata disturbances. Undergoing UFE (Uterine Fibroid Embolization) could have affected your body’s natural dosha balance, leading to these issues. Let’s address these step by step according to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles.
First, for inflammation and weight gain, focus on reducing excess Kapha. Incorporate light, warm, and dry foods into your diet. Avoid heavy, oily, and cold foods. Start your day with a small piece of ginger with a pinch of rock salt; it’ll ignite your agni (digestive fire). Engage in daily physical activity like brisk walking or yoga to stimulate circulation and metabolism, ideally early in the morning when Kapha is highest.
For low energy and bloating, check your meal timings. Avoid heavy meals, especially in the late evening. Opt for small, regular meals to maintain energy levels. Trikatu churna, a blend of three pungent spices, can be useful to enhance digestion and reduce bloating. Mix it with honey and take it before meals, once or twice a day, in consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner.
Hair fall and nail breakage often point to Vata imbalance affecting the sapta dhatus, especially Asthi (bone) and Keshya (hair). Consider applying warm sesame oil to the scalp and body before bathing, which helps pacify Vata. Include nourishing foods like ghee, almonds, and dates in your diet.
Hydration is key too. Drink warm water throughout the day, which aids in Kapha balancing and reducing bloating. Keep stress managed, and prioritize good sleep, since Vata’s instability can increase with physical and mental restlessnes.
If symptoms persist or worsen, especially post-UFE complications, consult a healthcare provider to rule out any serious conditions. This ensures you’re on the right track and makes appropriate changes as needed.
