Your symptoms of chest pain, breast swelling, and sparking pain suggest aggravated Vata and Pitta doshas, possibly linked to Anaha (gas/indigestion) and stress, exacerbating Costochondritis and localized inflammation. Here is a holistic Ayurvedic approach:
1. Internal Support (Aushadha):
Take Dashamoola Kashaya (15-20 ml twice daily) to reduce inflammation and calm Vata.
Haridra Khand (1 tsp with warm milk) to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Avipattikar Churna (1 tsp with water before meals) for GERD and dyspepsia.
2. Diet (Ahara):
Follow a light, easy-to-digest diet to reduce Pitta:
Include warm, cooked foods like rice, moong dal khichdi, and ghee.
Avoid spicy, sour, and heavy foods, as well as carbonated drinks.
Drink jeera-coriander water for digestive relief and to calm inflammation.
3. External Applications:
Warm Ksheerabala Tailam or Mahanarayan Tailam can be gently massaged over the chest and breast area, followed by a warm compress to relieve pain and swelling.
Apply a paste of turmeric and aloe vera gel locally for cooling and anti-inflammatory effects.
4. Lifestyle (Vihara):
Avoid overexertion and heavy physical activities that strain the chest.
Practice gentle breathing exercises (Pranayama) like Anulom Vilom to reduce anxiety and pain.
Sleep with the head slightly elevated to ease GERD and reduce pressure.
5. Avoidance (Nidan Parivarjana):
Avoid tight clothing or bras that compress the chest.
Stay away from cold, raw foods and late-night meals that increase Vata and Pitta.
This integrated approach will help alleviate your pain, reduce inflammation, and address your underlying digestive concerns. Follow up if the swelling persists or for further care. May you recover soon.

Sorry to hear that you're going through this chest and breast pain. Costochondritis can be quite painful, as it involves inflammation where your ribs attach to the breastbone. Now with swelling in both breasts and sharp pain while doing activities, it seems more complicated than typical costochondritis.
First, gotta say, if the swelling and pain are getting worse or causing shortness of breath—it's crucial, go seek immediate medical attention right away. My suggestions are more about supporting general well-being and addressing inflammation.
In Ayurveda, pain and inflammation could be linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and transformation in the body. A few things to try—wanna focus on cooling the body and reducing inflammation:
- Try turmeric milk. Mix half a teaspoon of turmeric in a cup of warm milk and drink it once daily. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory and can help.
- Apply a flaxseed poultice to the painful areas—in boiling water, soak flaxseeds until thick, then wrap in clean cloth. Apply this to the area for 20 minutes. It'll help reduce local inflammation.
- Diet's important—embrace cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, leafy greens. Avoid spicy, fried, or overly salty foods—they can heat up the body and worsen Pitta imbalance.
- Rest’s essential. Be gentle with activities, listen to your body and avoid anything that causes sharp pain. Stress can also increase Pitta, maybe some relaxation techniques, like gentle yoga or meditation, can help, ya know?
But remember, these aren't replacements for medical advice. Monitor how things go, and If symptoms don't improve or get worse, it's time to check in with a healthcare provider. Gotta ensure it's nothing more serious lurking beneath. Health's nothing to gamble with!
