Kaf Dosh - #7112
For a while now, I’ve been feeling super sluggish and heavy, especially in the mornings. My throat feels coated, and I get this nagging sensation of mucus buildup that just doesn’t go away. A friend who’s into Ayurveda said it could be Kaf Dosh, but I don’t understand what that really means or how to deal with it. I read that Kaf Dosh is connected to cold, damp conditions in the body. Does this mean I need to avoid certain foods? I eat a lot of dairy and sweets, so could that be making the Kaf Dosh worse? Also, are there specific herbs or teas I should try to balance it? I’ve also noticed my digestion is slower than before. Would treating Kaf Dosh improve that too? It’s a bit overwhelming reading about all these Ayurvedic remedies – everything from fasting to herbal powders seems to be suggested for Kaf Dosh. But how do I know which one is right for me? Can someone explain if Kaf Dosh is a seasonal thing or if it’s just part of my natural constitution? I’d love some practical tips for managing it day to day. Also, is it true that yoga can help balance Kaf Dosh?
