Hello, The time taken for recovery depends on individual’s prakruti(body type), nature and severity of the imbalance(vikruti). So it is different for different individuals. Take care, Kind regards
Thank you for follow up Yes I do remember in your previous quiery you had nasal dryness with good bp control and even after stopping Mukta vati the dryness continued
Due to vata aggrevation sometimes the inner lining becomes too dry n it gets inflamed and the body produces e tr mucus as a protective response Which turns into this lingering congestion It can last even 4 to 6 weeks especially in dry climates lik us or during colder months The important thing is it’s better than the first week which means the mucosa is slowly repairing Continue steam inhalation , Sithophaladi churna n do not worry it will resolve within few weeks
Don’t worry take Laxmi vilas ras 1tab bd enough
Hello 😊 I know very well that it is very irritating feeling that you still have the nasal stuffiness although you have stopped Mukta Vati for almost a month.
YOUR CONDITION & PROBABLE AYURVEDIC CAUSE Your main concerns: – Nasal congestion persisting 28 days after stopping Mukta Vati – Moderate congestion interfering with routine – No past history of sinus/allergy issues – No diet or lifestyle changes – No specific triggers
Ayurvedic understanding: Normally, the use of Mukta Vati itself is not associated with the occurrence of nasal congestion that lasts for a long time.
But for those who are very sensitive, it can: Lower Pitta a little → thus increasing Kapha dominance Trigger Ama (toxins) accumulation Slow down nasal passage clearance After stopping the drug, cause rebound Kapha aggravation
AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN
1. Internal Medicines
a) Sitopaladi Churna + Honey ½ tsp + 1 tsp honey, twice daily after meals (An excellent remedy for lingering congestion, it removes Kapha, and opens nasal passages)
Continue sitopaladi churna with external care and home remedies
2. EXTERNAL CARE
a) Steam inhalation Warm water + pinch of Ajwain 10 minutes daily — helps open nasal passages.
b) Warm oil application (NO nasal drops) At the nostril entrance only, not inside, a drop of warm sesame oil is applied. Reduces dryness & irritation.
c) Warm saline gargles 1–2 times daily to reduce post-nasal congestion.
HOME REMEDIES
–Warm water sipping throughout the day –Add black pepper + ginger to food –Tulsi + ginger tea morning & evening –Do not sleep immediately after food –Avoid dairy at night (increases Kapha)
LIFESTYLE TIPS
Sleep with head slightly elevated Avoid cold exposure & late-night screen time
Light pranayama: Nadi Shodhana – Bhastrika (slow, 20 strokes)
Morning sun exposure 10 minutes
INVESTIGATIONS (Congestion is prolonged I would recommend you to get the following blood tests)
–CBC –ESR –Allergy profile –Sinus X-ray (if persistent pressure or headaches)
Your nasal congestion is a Kapha-Vata imbalance triggered after stopping Mukta Vati, not a permanent side-effect.
With Sitopaladi, Kapha-reducing diet, and good lifestyle care, your symptoms will go away completely.
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
The herbs caused your nasal blood vessels to relax and swell. They are currently stuck in this dilated state, causing congestion without much mucus.
Optimized Protocol The Mix: Take 1/2 tsp Sitopaladi Churna + 1 pinch Black Pepper + 1 pinch Turmeric.
Mix with Honey and lick slowly 3 times a day. (The Black Pepper is crucial here to naturally constrict the swollen vessels)
External Therapy Steam: Inhale steam with a pinch of Turmeric or Eucalyptus oil twice daily to shrink the lining.
Apply warm Ghee or Anu Tailam inside the nostrils to soothe irritation.
Dietary Advice Avoid: Cold water, ice cream and yogurt (curd) strictly for 7 days. Sip warm water only.
Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma
Thank you, Sir - there is hardly any mucus, only the congestion. Hopefully the Sitopaladi mix with honey won’t take too long to alleviate the condition…
Also take sitophaladi churna 5 gm bd
It’s possible that your nasal congestion may be a reaction to the Mukta Vati or its constitutional effects on your body. In Ayurveda, each person has a unique prakriti (constitution), and sometimes herbals formulations can cause unexpected imbalances in doshas, particularly if the individual’s dosha profile is sensitive or if the formulation isn’t quite suitable.
That said, in Ayurveda, persistent nasal congestion can be linked to excess Kapha dosha in the respiratory passages. Mukta Vati, generally known for its calming effects on high blood pressure and stress, probably triggered or exacerbated a latent Kapha imbalance. Ensuring that you work on balancing Kapha could bring relief. Sitopaladi Churna is indeed a good starting point for managing such conditions, as it aids digestion and encourages Kapha balance. It could help clear congestion over time since its gentle warming properties are effective against mucus accumulation.
Take Sitopaladi Churna with honey, half a teaspoon twice a day after meals, but you need to keep your diet in check too. Which means, cut down or completely avoid Kapha-aggravating foods like dairy, cold beverages, and sugary snacks, focus more on warm, spiced food. Ginger tea or a decoction of Tulsi leaves can be helpful as home remedies for nasal clearing.
Besides this, practicing steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil or some fresh mint leaves may also support in easing congestion. Nasya therapy or nasal drops with medicated oils, but only under guidance of a practitioner, can be highly effective in clearing sinuses.
If you notice significant discomfort, difficulty in breathing, or if symptoms persist beyond reasonable duration, its best to seek an in-person consultation with an Ayurvedic expert or medical practitioner, to really delve deeper into your individual doshic balance and health history.
Yes, it’s possible for nasal congestion to persist even after discontinuing Mukta Vati, but as always, it’s vital to look at individual Prakriti and imbalances. In traditional Siddha-Ayurvedic medicine, such symptoms can indicate an imbalance in Kapha dosha, as this dosha governs the respiratory system and mucus production. Mukta Vati has a cooling effect that might have further aggravated your Kapha if it was already in excess.
While you’ve already considered Sitopaladi Churna with honey, which is beneficial due to its capacity to pacify Kapha and support respiratory health, it’s important to integrate this remedy systematically. Use about 1 to 2 grams of Sitopaladi Churna mixed with a teaspoon of honey twice daily, ideally on an empty stomach or before meals, to help address the congestion.
In addition to the Sitopaladi mixture, consider incorporating some lifestyle and dietary changes to support Kapha balance. Avoid cold, heavy, and greasy foods that can increase Kapha. Warm, light meals and spices like ginger, black pepper, and cinnamon can be helpful. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus or a few drops of peppermint oil added to hot water can also provide relief by clearing nasal passages.
Monitor your symptoms closely. If they persist, it’s advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can delve deeper into your constitution and lifestyle to tailor a plan for you. Also, it may be wise to check for any possible seasonal allergies or other contributing factors with a conventional healthcare provider. Persistent issues might need further investigation to rule out underlying conditions. Ensure any course of action in Ayurveda complements, not replaces, necessary medical attention.
