Regaining Your Health,

When I sit down to think about all the health problems that Im having it can be quite overwhelming to even tackle all at that. With god’s grace I don’t have any big terminal ilness that would make day to day movement totally impossible but with my own lack of focus to my welbeing and ‘busyness’ of life there are too many so called small issues to be handled in terms of regaining my health.

1- I have kidney stones, small but painful at times. Main reason is very less water consumption by me.

2- I have irregular periods and PCOD since forever. To some extent it runs in the family but in my case its bit severe as last gap was that of 3 months between the cycles and the hard to handle mood changes and sadness that it brings makes day to day life quite tough to get by. Reason is somewhat genetic and somewhat lifestyle based. Solution is too many small changes to the routine. Im not entirely sure what the solution is but some pointers I have.  Take supplements to fill the deficiencies. Take ayurvedic medicines/tonics based on expert advice , take less stress(hardest of all).

3- I have general tendency to develop gas in the body and its not just flatulence, but general air(Vata) in the body. Here main reason would be caffine consumption in terms of tea. Solution is obvious but hard- leave something I love i.e. TEA and WHITE SUGAR.

4- I have slightly weak eye sight and have floaters in the eyes(dark black rounded small circular patches in the eye). Reason Im not sure ,screen time is one but thats indispensable given the nature of my work. Solutions are many , when I was using patanjali drishti even though it hurt it gave relief to this problem.

5- I have dark circles which get very dark just wtih one day of sleep deprivation. Reason – not sure. Solution- also not sure.

6- I have constantly low blood pressure. REason – genetic maybe. or iron deficiency. Solution- As a starting point I am taking Iron suplement for a month(under a ayurvedic practionor’s guidance).

7- I have a tendency to catch cold very fast and mucus formation is constant in the nasal area. This is since childhood. Reason not sure. Solution : One could be jal neti(ayurvedic therapy where saline water is run through nostrils).

Not only that after catching covid once, I have had viral fever 5-6 times in one year alone. Prior to this I used to hardly fall sick once an year but in last one year sickness has been a constant ally.

That is not to have a pity party , this is all just part of stock taking of my health so that I can start planning out ways to balance all these issues out.

under that betterandbetter campaign of os.me I am also going to make monthly changes and take monthly resolutions to fix all the above mentioned issues by the end of the year.

As a starting point I have started ayurvedic medicines for kidney stone and PCOD from an Ayurvedic doctor.

In Febuary I will inculcate the next step under this plan.
