Apachi In Ayurveda - #6805
Recently, my uncle was diagnosed with a swelling near his neck, and the doctor mentioned it could be lymphadenitis. While researching, I came across the term apachi in Ayurveda, which seems to describe a similar condition. I’m curious if Ayurveda offers any specific treatments for apachi or swelling of lymph nodes. The swelling is painless, but it hasn’t gone away in weeks. He’s also been feeling fatigued and occasionally has a mild fever. Is apachi in Ayurveda associated with some kind of imbalance, like Kapha or Pitta dosha? Would detoxification therapies like Panchakarma help reduce the swelling, or are there specific herbs for this condition? I read about herbs like Manjistha and Turmeric being good for blood purification and lymphatic health. Are these used to treat apachi in Ayurveda? If so, how should they be prepared or consumed? My uncle has been on antibiotics prescribed by his allopathic doctor, but we’re looking for a complementary approach that aligns with Ayurveda. Does Ayurveda suggest dietary changes or lifestyle adjustments for someone dealing with apachi? If anyone here has experience treating this condition naturally, I’d appreciate your insights. What kind of timeline should we expect for recovery with Ayurvedic treatments?
