How to Transition to Ayurvedic Medicine After Stent Placement? - #61128
I am trying to figure out how to incorporate Ayurvedic medicine after stents were placed in my heart. Just a few weeks ago, I had a stent procedure done due to some major blockages, and honestly, it was really scary. The doctors told me to stick to my allopathic meds, but I feel like I need to explore other options too. I have heard so much about how Ayurvedic medicine can help with recovery, but I’m kinda lost on where to start. I mean, now that I have had the stents, what specific Ayurvedic practices or herbs should I be looking into? I have read about Turmeric and Ashwagandha, but are they safe to take with my prescribed meds? Also, I feel like my overall energy levels are still low, and I keep worrying about my diet – is there something in Ayurvedic medicine after stents that can help boost that? I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right, and honestly, sometimes it feels overwhelming. I guess I'm just hoping for some clarity on how to smoothly transition into integrating Ayurvedic medicine after stents without messing up my recovery or health. Any advice would be super helpful!
