Managing long-standing conditions like diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and past brain infarction requires a comprehensive and cautious approach in Ayurveda, focusing on balancing metabolic processes, strengthening cardiovascular health, and supporting mental clarity. Ayurveda emphasizes lifestyle and dietary management, alongside herbal remedies, to address these interconnected conditions holistically.
For diabetes, Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and Vijaysar are beneficial herbs that support blood sugar regulation and improve insulin sensitivity. Guduchi can be taken as 1-2 tablets (or 500 mg powder) twice daily with warm water. Additionally, Triphala churna (1 teaspoon with warm water at bedtime) aids in digestion and gently detoxifies, which is beneficial for metabolic health.
Hypertension and hyperlipidemia can be supported with Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna), known for its cardioprotective properties. Taking Arjuna powder (1 teaspoon with warm water) twice daily helps improve cardiovascular function and lipid balance. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can also be useful, as it supports stress management and reduces blood pressure. Ashwagandha powder (500 mg twice daily) can be taken with warm milk to strengthen the nervous system and support mental well-being.
To prevent further brain-related complications, Brahmi and Shankhapushpi are recommended, as they help enhance cognitive functions and provide neuroprotective benefits. You may take Brahmi capsules (500 mg twice daily) with water to support memory and mental clarity.
In terms of diet, focus on warm, freshly prepared, low-salt, and low-sugar foods that are rich in fiber and antioxidants. Avoid processed foods, fried items, and excessive dairy products, as these can aggravate conditions like hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Gentle yoga and breathing exercises such as Pranayama are recommended to improve circulation, reduce stress, and enhance overall vitality.

Hello Virendra Sir, you have been having longstanding issues related to metabolism and blood circulation that come under Vata-Kapha disorders in Ayurveda. What are the levels of your Hba1c & blood pressure? How is the digestion overall? At this point managing the healthy levels is important as complete resolution of your issues looks difficult due to the age factor. Practice Abhyanga with sesame oil everyday before bath. Walk for 45 mins without break everyday. Slow walk for 10 mins after meals. Drink warm water with meals. Have bittegourd atleast twice a week. Cap Guduchi 1-1 before meals for a month. Tab Prasham 1 tab after dinner at night.

That's quite a journey with your health conditions, and managing them together can be challenging. Given the history of long-term diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and a past brain infarction, Ayurveda has a few insights that might help in combination with your existing treatment plan.
Firstly, it's important to balance the doshas, primarily focusing on reducing kapha and balancing vata, as they can influence these conditions. Diabetes (Prameha) is usually associated with a kapha imbalance. So, including bitter and astringent tastes like in neem, karela (bitter melon), and methi (fenugreek) can be really beneficial. Try incorporating them into your daily meals—like adding powdered methi seeds to your food or having neem juice in the morning.
Since hypertension is there, maintaining proper circulation and controlling stress is essential. Practices like Abhyanga—oil massage with sesame or mustard oil—can help calm vata dosha and promote relaxation and flow. Integrating yoga and pranayama, like deep breathing exercises, should support both mind and body.
Hyperlipidemia requires keeping the digestion and metabolism strong (agni). Ginger tea can stimulate digestive fire, so sip it before meals. And since you had an infarction, always stay cautious, focusing on overall heart care. Turmeric, a natural anti-inflammatory, can be added to your diet to support circulation and reduce inflammation—sprinkle a bit into your cooking or warm milk.
For all these, small, regular meals that are easy to digest should be your go-to strategy. Avoid heavy, oily, or overly sweet foods that might further imbalance kapha and vata. Stay mindful to not overexert, and ensure you're getting plenty of rest.
It's crucial you work closely with your healthcare providers, specifically concerning integrating these practices into your routine, ensuring they align safely with any medicinal regimens you're on. Remember, these are supportive measures—do not skip current medical treatments. Always prioritize safety first, especially with a complex health history.
