Seeking Ayurvedic Treatment for Goiter and Other Health Concerns - #48182

Goiter - Doctors had recommended surgical removal of the entire thyroid gland in November 2022. We went against the doctors' recommendation and did not get it removed, as it was benign. Can the patient take Dhootapapeshwar's Gandmala Kandan Ras for treatment of goiter / enlarged thyroid gland? Fibroadenoma in both breasts - Operated for invasive papillary carcinoma , grade II on 20-Dec-2022. Fibroadenoma in right breast although benign yet remains to be treated. Want preventive treatment, preferable to dissolve fibroadenomas to not let them develop into malignant tumors, as had happened in left breast, as recovery from surgery at this age will be difficult. Weight loss - The patient weighed around 53 kg before BCS in Dec 2022. She has been gradually losing weight since then and right now weighs around 39 kilograms. What can be done to increase weight so that her weight is proportionate to her height? Osteoporosis - Patient was diagnosed with Osteoporosis in DEXA Scan, which is done annually. She has pain in bones and muscles of hand, feet, and back. We want to prevent DEXA scan, as it also causes radiation to the entire body. Vertigo - Patient feels giddiness while looking upwards. She has been suffering from Vertigo, for 26 years now and is afraid to go out alone.

How long have you been experiencing the goiter?:

- More than 1 year

Have you noticed any changes in your weight recently?:

- Significant weight loss

What is your current diet like?:

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN AND THE EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION THAT COMES WITH MANAGING MULTIPLE LONG STANDING CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY AFTER SURGERY AND SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT LOSS IS NOT A SIMPLE SITUATION AND IT NEEDS A VERY BALANCED AND THOUGHTFUL APPROACH RATHER THAN AGGRESSIVE OR SHORT TERM MEASURES

FOR THE ENLARGED THYROID OR GOITER SINCE IT HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR A LONG TIME AND WAS CONFIRMED BENIGN THE AIM OF TREATMENT IS TO STABILISE THE SIZE PREVENT FURTHER GROWTH AND SUPPORT HEALTHY FUNCTION OF THE GLAND RATHER THAN FORCEFUL SHRINKING AT THIS AGE AND WITH THIS BACKGROUND STRONG IRRITATING OR HEAVY METAL BASED MEDICINES SHOULD BE USED WITH CAUTION

DHOOTAPAPESHWAR GANDMALA KANDAN RAS IS A STRONG FORMULATION AND IN A PATIENT WITH HISTORY OF CANCER LOW BODY WEIGHT BONE WEAKNESS AND LONG TERM SYMPTOMS IT IS NOT THE FIRST CHOICE FOR CONTINUOUS USE A SAFER AND SUSTAINABLE OPTION IS KANCHANAR GUGGULU WHICH WORKS ON GLANDULAR SWELLINGS FIBROTIC CHANGES AND HORMONAL IMBALANCE IT CAN BE GIVEN ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD WITH LUKEWARM WATER

VRIDDHIBHADIKA VATI ONE TABLET TWICE DAILY AFTER MEALS CAN BE ADDED TO SUPPORT RESOLUTION OF BENIGN GROWTHS AND TO PREVENT FURTHER ABNORMAL TISSUE CHANGES

GILOY JUICE 15 TO 20 ML ONCE DAILY IN THE MORNING WITH WARM WATER CAN BE USED AS A SUPPORT TO IMPROVE INTERNAL RESILIENCE AND IMMUNE BALANCE

REGARDING THE FIBROADENOMA IN THE RIGHT BREAST YOUR FEAR IS COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED WITH PREVIOUS HISTORY OF INVASIVE CANCER THE INTENTION HERE IS PREVENTION STABILISATION AND INTERNAL BALANCE

KANCHANAR GUGGULU AND VRIDDHIBHADIKA VATI AS MENTIONED ABOVE ARE APPROPRIATE SUPPORTIVE MEDICINES AND SHOULD BE CONTINUED AS THEY WORK AT THE LEVEL OF TISSUE CORRECTION HOWEVER THE MEDICINES CANNOT REPLACE REGULAR FOLLOW UP IMAGING AND EXAMINATION ANY SUDDEN CHANGE IN SIZE PAIN SKIN CHANGES OR DISCHARGE MUST BE MEDICALLY EVALUATED IMMEDIATELY AVOID EXCESSIVE LOCAL MASSAGE OR HOT APPLICATIONS OVER THE BREAST AREA AS THEY CAN IRRITATE SENSITIVE TISSUE

THE WEIGHT LOSS FROM 53 KGS TO 39 KGS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ADDRESS FIRST WITHOUT WEIGHT GAIN AND NOURISHMENT THE BODY CANNOT HEAL BONES MUSCLES NERVES OR GLANDS PROPERLY THIS KIND OF WEIGHT LOSS USUALLY INDICATES POOR ABSORPTION LOW APPETITE CHRONIC STRESS AND DEEP TISSUE DEPLETION FOOD SHOULD BE YOUR PRIMARY MEDICINE AT THIS STAGE MEALS MUST BE SMALL FREQUENT AND WARM EAT EVERY THREE HOURS EVEN IF THE PORTION IS SMALL INCLUDE WELL COOKED RICE SOFT ROTIS MILLETS DAL SOUPS VEGETABLE STEWS HOMEMADE GHEE MILK IF IT SUITS YOU ALMOND PASTE SOAKED AND BLENDED DATES FIGS AND STEWED FRUITS AVOID RAW SALADS DRY FOODS BAKERY ITEMS AND SKIPPING MEALS DO NOT FAST OR FOLLOW ANY RESTRICTIVE DIET ASHWAGANDHADI LEHYAM ONE TEASPOON TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD WITH WARM MILK OR WATER CAN BE VERY HELPFUL TO SUPPORT WEIGHT GAIN STRENGTH AND RECOVERY WHEN TAKEN REGULARLY AND WITHOUT SKIPPING WEIGHT WILL INCREASE WHEN DIGESTION BECOMES STABLE AND THE BODY FEELS SAFE

FOR OSTEOPOROSIS AND BONE AND MUSCLE PAIN YOUR CONCERN ABOUT REPEATED DEXA SCANS IS UNDERSTANDABLE AND VALID THE FOCUS SHOULD BE ON SYMPTOM IMPROVEMENT DAILY FUNCTION AND CONFIDENCE IN MOVEMENT RATHER THAN NUMBERS ALONE BONE PAIN MUSCLE ACHES AND BACK DISCOMFORT INDICATE DEEP WEAKNESS ASTHISHRUNKALA CAN BE TAKEN TWICE DAILY AFTER MEALS TO SUPPORT BONE AND JOINT STRENGTH OVER TIME OIL APPLICATION WITH WARM MEDICATED OIL OVER ARMS LEGS AND BACK THREE TO FOUR TIMES A WEEK CAN HELP REDUCE PAIN AND IMPROVE COMFORT SLOW WALKING IS BETTER

CALCIUM RICH FOODS LIKE MILK SESAME ALMONDS AND COOKED GREEN VEGETABLES SHOULD BE INCLUDED

THE VERTIGO THAT HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR 26 YEARS AND IS TRIGGERED BY CERTAIN HEAD MOVEMENTS SUGGESTS A CHRONIC BALANCE AND NECK RELATED ISSUE RATHER THAN AN ACUTE PROBLEM FEAR OF GOING OUT ALONE IS VERY COMMON IN SUCH CASES AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH REASSURANCE AND CONSISTENT CARE AVOID LOOKING UP SUDDENLY OR QUICK HEAD TURNS USE A PILLOW THAT SUPPORTS THE NECK WELL AND AVOID SLEEPING ON VERY HIGH OR VERY FLAT PILLOWS REGULAR OIL APPLICATION TO THE NECK AND SHOULDERS CAN REDUCE STIFFNESS AND IMPROVE COMFORT SLOW BREATHING PRACTICES AND SHORT SUPPORTED WALKS CAN HELP REDUCE ANXIETY ASSOCIATED WITH GIDDINESS

AVOID LATE NIGHTS SKIPPING MEALS COLD FOODS EXCESS TEA COFFEE PACKAGED SNACKS AND JUNK FOOD
AS CHRONIC WORRY DIRECTLY AFFECTS DIGESTION WEIGHT AND HORMONAL BALANCE TRY TO KEEP A CALM DAILY ROUTINE WITH REGULAR MEALTIMES ADEQUATE REST AND LIGHT ACTIVITY WITHOUT PRESSURE

THIS IS A LONG HEALING PROCESS WITH THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF MEDICINES NOURISHING FOOD REGULAR ROUTINE AND PROPER MEDICAL MONITORING IT IS POSSIBLE TO STABILISE THESE CONDITIONS IMPROVE STRENGTH REDUCE FEAR AND GRADUALLY ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE
