Doctors’ responses
It seems you have been dealing with persistent issues for a long time, including your dependence on soft drops, gastrointestinal discomfort, joint pain, and skin-related concerns such as acne and spots. In Ayurveda, these symptoms may indicate underlying imbalances that need to be addressed holistically rather than relying solely on symptomatic treatment.
To start, it’s essential to evaluate your digestion (Agni), as poor digestive health can lead to the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body, potentially manifesting as skin issues, joint pain, and gastrointestinal problems. Incorporating a diet that supports digestion is crucial. Favor warm, cooked meals with spices such as Ginger, Turmeric, and Cumin to enhance your digestive fire. Avoid cold, heavy, and processed foods that may aggravate your symptoms.
For joint pain, Ashwagandha and Guggulu can help reduce inflammation and support joint health. To address skin issues, consider herbal remedies like Neem and Amla, which are known for their purifying and rejuvenating properties. A daily routine (Dinacharya) that includes abhyanga (self-massage with warm oil) can improve circulation and promote overall well-being.
It seems like there’s quite a bit going on… dry eyes, gut issues, joint pain, and skin concerns. Let’s dig into what might be happening from an Ayurvedic perspective.
Firstly, dry eyes could relate to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which also ties into joint pain and dryness of skin. Using eye drops might only address the symptoms temporarily but not touch the root cause. Increasing hydration by regularly sipping warm water can be more beneficial. You might want to try Triphala ghritam, an Ayurvedic medicated ghee known to support overall eye health. A drop or two in the eyes, with your doctor’s guidance, can sometimes work wonders.
Those gut issues, often rooted in a weak digestive fire (Agni), might be tied to what’s showing up on your skin - acne and pores. When Agni is low, the body doesn’t process food effectively, leading to toxins (ama) that manifest as skin blemishes. Ginger and cumin tea, taken regularly, can help ignite Agni. Avoid cold, dry and heavy foods; instead, go for warming, moist meals like khichadi, which are gentle on the stomach.
About spots and acne, umm, it’d likely be tied to Pitta imbalance given the fiery, inflamed nature of acne. Minimize spicy and oily foods that aggravate Pitta. A soothing face mask made of sandalwood powder might reduce redness and inflammation.
Lifestyle plays a huge part too. Try sticking to regular sleep schedule, some light morning yoga or walks, anything that won’t stress your body too much.
I’d suggest, after dealing with this for 12 years, consulting with a local Ayurvedic practitioner to get a personalized, in-depth assessment. They can check your dosha constitution in detail, something tricky to do remotely. Meanwhile, remember to listen to your body closely, if somethings not feel right - it probably isn’t. Right?
