Mrs A(63):
Mrs A presented with continuous stomach pain, persistent overthinking, and a pattern of frequent junk food intake. On assessment, there was a clear Vata imbalance driven by irregular eating habits and mental restlessness. The approach focused on Vata regulation through stabilising routine, calming the mind, and correcting food choices, recognising that digestive discomfort and overthinking often move together when Vata is aggravated.

Mr B (62):
Mr B, an Ayurveda practitioner himself, had undergone a cardiac stent procedure but continued to experience chest discomfort. Dr Rajnikath from futher ntervention for 3 more stents, symptoms suggested ongoing functional imbalance, likely influenced by stress and Vata disturbance in the chest region. Now patient can climb steps and walk without feeling stress.

Mr C (65):
Mr C came post-ablation with mental confusion, disturbed sleep, speech difficulty, and a concurrent ringworm infection. The presentation reflected a combination of Vata disturbance affecting the nervous system, along with immune and skin involvement. The approach prioritised sleep regulation, nervous system support, and local care for the skin condition, with gradual improvement noted in speech clarity and mental confusion. Suggested apart from medicines to have 15 neem leaves two times

Mrs D (65):
Mrs D had a long history of diabetes (35 years) and thyroid imbalance, presenting with frozen shoulder for two years, gingivitis with abscess formation for six months, urinary weakness, eye irritation with oedema, and marked heat intolerance. The overall pattern showed strong Pitta dominance layered over chronic metabolic stress. Management focused on Pitta-shamana measures, including Dhanyamla dhara and Upanaha, aiming to support systemic regulation rather than isolated symptom relief.

Mr E (32):
Mr E bought in a wheelchair presented with vomiting and extreme weakness and was later found to have a large stomach tumour, for which he was under medical care. From an Ayurvedic perspective, there was severe Agni impairment and tissue depletion. Supportive measures were considered carefully alongside conventional treatment, with emphasis on preserving strength and avoiding additional strain in a complex and sensitive clinical situation.

Mrs F (55):
Mrs F consulted for hair fall along with concerns around bone and marrow health. The presentation suggested underlying Asthi–Majja dhatu weakness, influenced by stress and nourishment patterns. The approach focused on tissue nourishment and stability, including the use of Brahmi Ghrita, while supporting digestion and rest, acknowledging that hair health often reflects deeper systemic balance.

Ayurvedic Tip on Salt

In Ayurveda, salt should be used in moderation and chosen wisely.

Among all salts,
Saindhava Lavaṇa (rock salt) is considered the best because it is lighter, aids digestion, balances all three Doṣas, and does not aggravate Pitta like common table salt.

Benefits
Stimulates Agni and improves appetite
Enhances taste and digestion without causing heaviness
Helps reduce gas and bloating
Supports proper absorption of nutrients
Gentler on skin and blood compared to refined salt

How to Practise
Prefer rock salt over refined white salt
Use salt towards the end of cooking
Keep salt quantity minimal—food should not taste salty
Reduce salt intake in the evening

Ayurvedic Reasoning
Salt has Uṣṇa (hot), Snigdha (oily), and Sūkṣma (penetrating) qualities. In excess, it aggravates Pitta and Kapha, leading to skin disorders, premature aging, high blood pressure, water retention, joint inflammation, and hair fall. Used correctly, it supports digestion and balances Vata.

Cautions
Excess salt can cause skin problems, acidity, hypertension, edema, and joint swelling
Pitta types should be especially cautious
People with high BP, kidney issues, or edema should restrict salt
Avoid combining salty foods with excess sour or fermented foods

Ayurvedic Wisdom
“Salt improves taste and digestion in small amounts, but in excess it becomes a silent cause of disease.”

Ayurvedic Tip:
Proper Consumption of Buttermilk (Takra)
In Ayurveda, Takra (buttermilk) is regarded as Amṛta (nectar) for digestion when used correctly. It kindles Agni, improves Grahani function, and balances Kapha and Vāta without aggravating Pitta when taken appropriately.

How to consume buttermilk correctly:
Always prepare buttermilk by churning curd with water and removing the butter (fat).
Consume it during or immediately after the main meal, preferably at lunch.
It should be fresh, room temperature, and lightly spiced.

According to Doṣa:
1. Vāta predominance: Add dry ginger (Śuṇṭhī) and a little rock salt.
2. Kapha predominance: Add dry ginger, black pepper, and avoid excess water.
3. Pitta predominance: Dilute more, add coriander powder or a small amount of sugar; avoid sour curd.

Important cautions:
Avoid buttermilk at night.
Do not consume it on an empty stomach if digestion is weak.
Avoid in acute fever, severe dehydration, or during active Raktapitta conditions.

Classical essence:
“Takraṃ grāhi laghu dīpanaṃ” — Buttermilk is light, digestive, and absorbent, making it especially beneficial in Grahani, Ātisāra, and chronic digestive disorders.

This simple dietary practice, when followed correctly, can significantly improve gut health and metabolic balance.

Ayurvedic Tip on Water Intake (Jala Sevana)
In Ayurveda, how and when you drink water is more important than how much.

Key Guidance
Sip warm or room-temperature water throughout the day; it supports Agni and prevents Āma.
Drink small sips between meals, not large quantities at once.
Take a few sips of warm water during meals only if needed; avoid chugging water immediately before or after meals.
Start the day with a cup of lukewarm water to stimulate digestion and bowel movement.

Benefits
Gut: Improves digestion, reduces gas, bloating, and constipation
Skin: Better hydration and toxin clearance support clear skin
Stress: Warm fluids calm Vata and the nervous system
Sleep: Prevents night-time heaviness and reflux
Joints: Helps flush toxins that contribute to stiffness

Ayurvedic Reasoning
Cold or excessive water weakens Jatharagni, leading to incomplete digestion and Āma formation. Proper water intake keeps channels (srotas) clear and supports all tissues (dhātus).

Cautions (Doṣa-wise)
Vata: Prefer warm water; avoid cold drinks
Pitta: Use room-temperature water; avoid very hot water in summer
Kapha: Warm water is best; avoid frequent sipping late evening
Kidney/heart conditions: Follow medical fluid restrictions

Ayurvedic insight:
“Water taken correctly becomes medicine; taken wrongly becomes poison.”
