In Ayurveda, the symptoms you describe—low energy, fatigue, body itching, and low hemoglobin—may indicate an imbalance in the body's vital energies (doshas), particularly vata and pitta. These could also be related to a deficiency in the blood tissue (rasa dhatu), which is linked to iron levels in the body. Ulcers could aggravate pitta, leading to digestive issues and poor absorption of nutrients, further worsening fatigue. A proper diet rich in iron-rich foods, such as leafy greens, dates, and pomegranates, along with herbs like ashwagandha and shatavari, could help rejuvenate energy levels. Reducing stress and managing excess habits (such as masturbation) will help balance both the body and mind. It’s also important to address the root cause of your digestive issues and support your liver function to improve overall vitality.

Namaste Abdul-Hamid Adnan Ji,
Low hemoglobin (Hb) levels indicate anemia, likely due to iron deficiency or nutrient insufficiency. Additionally, excess masturbation may deplete energy reserves, leading to fatigue and weakness. Here’s a holistic Ayurvedic approach to help raise your Hb from 11 to 17 and restore vitality:
1. Dietary Recommendations (Ahara):
Focus on iron-rich foods and those that enhance blood production:
Include:
Dates, raisins, figs, and jaggery.
Leafy greens (spinach, moringa), beetroot, and pomegranate.
Lentils, chickpeas, and black sesame seeds.
Ghee (1 tsp daily) to improve digestion and energy.
Amla (Indian gooseberry) for Vitamin C to aid iron absorption.
Bone broth or warm soups for energy and strength.
Avoid:
Cold, heavy, and processed foods.
Excess tea, coffee, or carbonated drinks (reduce iron absorption).
2. Herbal Remedies (Aushadhi):
Lohasava – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals for increasing iron levels.
Punarnava Mandur – 2 tablets twice daily after meals for anemia and energy.
Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for strength and energy.
Amla Juice – 20 ml with water daily to support blood and immunity.
3. Lifestyle Modifications (Vihara):
Pranayama:
Practice Anulom Vilom and Bhastrika Pranayama for improved oxygenation and blood circulation.
Exercise:
Engage in light exercises like walking or yoga to stimulate blood production.
Sleep and Rest:
Maintain a regular sleep routine to restore energy. Avoid overstimulation, including excessive screen time.
4. Address Masturbation Addiction:
Excessive loss of vital energy (ojas) can weaken the body. Control this habit gradually with:
Herbal Support:
Shatavari Churna – 1 tsp with warm milk to restore vitality and balance.
Kaunch Beej Powder – 1 tsp daily to strengthen reproductive health.
Mental Discipline:
Engage in creative hobbies, mindfulness, or meditation to divert attention.
5. Additional Tips:
Drink water infused with jaggery and a pinch of dry ginger daily.
Cook food in iron utensils to enhance iron content naturally.
Regular sun exposure for Vitamin D synthesis to boost energy.
With consistent effort and this holistic approach, you can gradually improve Hb levels and overall vitality. Monitor Hb levels regularly and adjust as needed.

Alright, so your HB level at 11 is a bit on the lower side and could be contributing to the fatigue and low energy you're feeling. It's crucial to address this, but more importantly, keep an eye on other symptoms. Ayurveda connects the dhatus, including rakta (blood), to overall balance in the body. Your prakriti, or natural constitution, might be Kapha-heavy given the tiredness and skin itching, which also hints at ama (toxins) buildup.
Considering you've been treated for ulcers, the agni (digestive fire) might be a tad weak. Start by making sure your digestion is strong. You might wanna have a bit of ginger tea before meals, just a small cup. It can stimulate your agni and help nutrients absorb better. Make sure your diet is iron-rich but easy on the stomach. Foods like beetroot, pomegranate, raisins, and leafy greens are powerhouses for your blood.
The addition of Triphala churna at bedtime with lukewarm water could help regulate digestion and clear ama. You could also try incorporating black sesame seeds, which are rich in iron, into your diet. Maybe a tablespoon every day, either on salads, or just as they are.
Skin itching, meanwhile, could relate to pitta imbalance, so avoid overly spicy or oily foods. Stick to meals that are lightly cooked and warm. Ghee in small amounts can be cooling and nourishing.
Now, regarding masturbation addiction, it's significant because it might be depleting your ojas, the subtle energy that boosts vitality. Practice moderation and focus on grounding practices like yoga or pranayama. Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) could help balance mental and physical energies.
Lastly, align with regular routines; rest well as it regenerates bodily tissues, including blood. Remember, address iron deficiency step by step, but if any symptoms escalate, you should definitely consult your healthcare provider for tailored medical advice!
