Fibromyalgia Ayurvedic solutions

 Hai good morning dears,so we can learn today how to control the pain of fibromyalgia 

Diet, nutrition and digestion

Improper diet plays a role in causing and exacerbating fibromyalgia. Some foods make vata highly active, thereby aggravating fibromyalgia symptoms, including increased sensitivity to pain.

Consultation with an ayurvedic specialist will help you understand which foods to avoid if you are suffering symptoms of fibromyalgia. They will also recommend a diet based on foods that can be easily digested, creating micronutrients that can assimilate into the tissues and rebuild tissue strength.

The diet normally advised for patients of fibromyalgia is a modified vata-pacifying diet. It includes:

  • vegetable soups
  • coconut water and coconut milk
  • fresh drink made from carrot juice (33%), water (33%), juice of 1 beetroot, juice of 1 red pepper, spinach (handful), juice of ginger root (2cm), juice of garlic (1 clove)
  • cooked vegetables including squash, zucchini, sweet potato, tomato and pumpkin
  • foods spiced with cumin, coriander, fennel, black pepper, ginger, asafoetida, garlic and turmeric
  • moderate quantities of green salads with simple dressings of lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt
  • kichari (recipe made by cooking white basmati rice and moong dhal and spices)
  • warm milk with warming spices including cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and clove.

  • Fibromyalgia patients should reduce:

    • hot (spicy) and fried foods
    • processed sugar
    • bitter and astringent foods such as brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, broccoli, kohlrabi and potatoes.
    • raw foods (less than 20% of your diet)
    • high levels of black tea, coffee, alcohol, yoghurt, chocolate and cocoa.

    • Managing lifestyle and psychological health and wellbeing

      • Establish routines to ensure healthy diet, good sleep, and a balance of work, exercise, and family, friends and fun.
      • Avoid worry, hurry, fear, stress, grief and anxiety.
      • Manage stress with practices like meditation, yoga, and spiritual activity.
      • Perform ayurvedic rituals every day, such as self-massage, oil pulling, tongue scraping, and sipping warm water frequently throughout the day.
      • Exercise regularly according to your energy. Breathing exercises and restorative yoga poses are excellent.
      • Find out the factors that aggravate your symptoms and avoid them.
      • Be social, share love, happiness and sorrow.
      • Consult an experienced ayurvedic doctor who will tailor your personal diet and lifestyle to manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

How to know hair follicles are active or not?

 Many men during online consultation used to ask me  " How will I know, if my hair follicle is active or not? " Here are a few ways 👇 Observe Hair Growth: If you see fine, short hair (vellus hair) or longer, thicker hair (terminal hair) in the area, follicles are active. However, if the area is smooth and shiny without any hair growth, the follicles may be inactive. Examine Scalp Health: A healthy scalp, with adequate hydration and minimal flakiness, is more likely to support active follicles. Redness, inflammation, or excessive dryness can indicate issues affecting follicle activity. Check for Signs of Miniaturization: When follicles are active but weakened, they may produce thinner, shorter hairs. This process, known as follicular miniaturization, is often a sign of conditions like androgenic alopecia. Pull Test: Gently tug on a small section of hair. If more than a few strands come out, this may suggest shedding due to issues affecting follicle health, but it doesn’t ...

  Why Bread for Breakfast Could Be Sabotaging Your Health"🙄 A patient came to me five years ago complaining of back pain after his wife had been away for five days. He had been surviving on plain bread three times a day due to his desk job. As a doctor, I could easily see that his poor food choices had contributed to his discomfort." Bread, particularly refined white bread, can negatively impact digestion, energy levels, and overall health when consumed regularly, especially in the morning when the body needs nourishing and easily digestible foods to fuel the day.

Consuming bread, especially with butter or jam, can overload the digestive system, as it is heavy and difficult to digest. This can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which Ayurveda identifies as the root cause of many diseases. Refined bread, in particular, i...
