How to get rid of body pain due to viral - #8868

Diya ji, your symptoms suggest a Vata-Kapha imbalance along with weakened Agni (digestive fire) and low Ojas (vital energy) due to the viral infection and overall depletion of body strength. The focus in Ayurveda is to alleviate pain, strengthen immunity, and restore your body’s natural balance.

1. For Body Pain Relief: Abhyanga (Warm Oil Massage): Massage your entire body gently with warm sesame oil or Mahanarayan oil daily before a warm bath. This will relieve pain, calm Vata, and improve circulation. Hot Compress or Steam Therapy: Apply a warm compress to areas of pain (neck, back, shoulders). Steam inhalation with ajwain or eucalyptus oil can help reduce chest congestion and ease breathing. 2. Herbal Remedies: Turmeric and Ginger Milk: Boil ½ tsp turmeric and grated ginger in warm milk. Drink at night to relieve pain, inflammation, and coughing. Tulsi Kadha: Boil tulsi leaves, ginger, black pepper, and a pinch of mulethi (licorice) in water. Drink this twice a day to soothe the throat, improve immunity, and clear congestion. Ashwagandha Powder: Take 1 tsp of ashwagandha powder with warm milk at night to strengthen muscles, reduce anxiety, and rebuild energy. 3. Dietary Guidance: Light, warm, and nourishing foods: Eat moong dal khichdi, vegetable soups, and cooked greens with a little ghee. These are easy to digest and will help strengthen your body. Include dry fruits like soaked almonds, dates, and raisins to boost energy and improve nutrient absorption. Avoid cold, heavy, and oily foods as they increase Kapha and worsen symptoms. 4. For Weakness and Nutrient Absorption: Chyawanprash: Take 1 tsp of Chyawanprash with warm milk in the morning. It boosts immunity and strengthens your body. Triphala: Take ½ tsp Triphala powder with warm water at night to cleanse the digestive system and enhance nutrient absorption. 5. For Anxiety and Tension: Brahmi or Ashwagandha Tea: Boil Brahmi leaves or Ashwagandha powder in water and drink this tea twice daily to calm the mind and reduce stress. Pranayama: Practice Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) for 5-10 minutes daily to relieve tension and improve breathing. Meditation and gentle yoga poses like Child’s Pose (Balasana) can help relax your body and mind. 6. Lifestyle Tips: Rest and Warmth: Rest is crucial for healing. Stay warm and avoid exposure to cold air. Hydration: Drink warm water or herbal teas throughout the day to keep your throat and body hydrated. Sleep: Ensure you get at least 8 hours of sleep daily to rejuvenate your body. 7. Long-Term Rejuvenation: Take ghee in your diet regularly to rebuild strength. Include pomegranate juice or amla juice for improving blood quality and reducing dark circles. Regular sun exposure in the early morning will improve your Vitamin D levels and overall immunity. With consistent care and patience, your body will regain its strength and balance. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek consultation with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Diya ji!
