From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms suggest a combination of Kapha–Medo dushti (fat metabolism imbalance) along with Ama (toxin accumulation from weak digestion). Persistent thigh swelling + fatigue + digestive disturbance + food-triggered nausea/vomiting indicates that the root is likely impaired Agni (digestive fire) leading to toxin buildup and fluid/fat retention in tissues. However, because swelling is long-standing (6+ months) and nausea/vomiting is present, it is important to also rule out medical causes like lymphatic blockage, liver/kidney imbalance, or vascular issues through a physician check-up. Ayurvedic Approach 1. Digestive correction (most important) Take Trikatu churna (dry ginger + black pepper + long pepper) in small dose with warm water before meals (improves Agni) Sip ginger + ajwain water during the day to reduce nausea and bloating 2. For swelling & fat metabolism Triphala churna at night with warm water (gentle detox + bowel regulation) Guggulu-based formulations (like Medohar Guggulu) can help reduce localized fat & swelling, but should be taken 3. Diet correction Avoid: oily, fried, heavy, packaged foods, cold drinks, excess sugar, dairy at night Prefer: warm, light meals (khichdi, soups, steamed vegetables) Eat small, frequent meals instead of heavy portions 4. Lifestyle Daily brisk walking 30–40 min Gentle thigh massage with warm sesame oil (improves circulation) Avoid long sitting or inactivity
