Your symptoms suggest Vata imbalance, which commonly affects nerves and movement in older age. This can cause numbness in the feet and toes, especially during walking or prolonged standing. It also slows digestion, which can lead to constipation and gas. The medicines you are taking are helping to correct this Vata, but sometimes they can initially increase dryness in the body, which may add to constipation. With continued treatment, proper diet, warm fluids, and gentle routine, both nerve symptoms and digestion usually improve gradually. –Medicines 1) Aimil Neurogenie 1 capsule twice daily after food 2) Constac 1 capsules at bedtime with warm water 3) FreeFlex 1 capsule twice daily after food -----Classical medicines (continue if already taking) Sahacharadi Kwath – as prescribed Ksheerabala 101 – as prescribed -Anupana Warm water / warm milk at night (if suitable) —Pathya Warm, cooked, unctuous diet Adequate hydration Regular gentle walking Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods

Your condition suggests Vata imbalance affecting nerves (neuropathy-like symptoms) along with Apana Vata disturbance causing constipation and gas. Current medicines are helpful for nerves but may be increasing dryness → leading to constipation. Ayurvedic Approach: 1. Correct Vata in Gut (Most Important) Add Triphala churna (½ tsp at bedtime with warm water) Or Gandharvahastadi castor oil (5–10 drops in warm milk at night, 2–3 times/week) This will relieve constipation and reduce gas 2. Modify Current Medicines Continue Sahacharadi Kwath & Ksheerabala 101 (they support nerves) But always take after food with warm water 3. External Therapy (Very Effective) Daily abhyanga (massage) with Ksheerabala oil on legs and feet Follow with mild hot fomentation Improves circulation & reduces numbness 4. Diet Correction Prefer warm, soft, unctuous food Add: ghee, soups, cooked vegetables Avoid: excess raw salads, dry foods, gas-forming items (chana, cabbage) 5. Simple Yoga / Routine Gentle walking only (avoid prolonged standing) Practice Pavanamuktasana (gas-relieving posture) Maintain regular bowel timing
Thanks for your coopersion and suggestion.
