Q. What ayurvedic medicine can be given to my little one to increase her alertness?
Hello doctor,
This is with regards to my daughter who is 2 years and eight months old. I have noticed that she is slow in activities. She is very laid back and relaxed. I have a feeling that she has an imbalance of vata, pitta, and kapha. I mean if she can be either low on pitta or vata as per my understanding. One ayurvedic doctor did give her a medication for one month. She took it in the last year for one month. She is otherwise healthy and normal. Could you suggest a safe medication without side effects for this age group to increase her alertness and for balancing of the doshas? Kindly suggest any foodstuffs too.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I need to know the following details about your daughter.
- Her birth history.
- Her current body weight.
- Her developmental milestones.
- Her interaction with peers.
Please provide me these details.
Thank you doctor,
My daughter had a normal birth. She was maybe two weeks premature. Currently, her body weight is 24.25 Ibs. All milestones like walking and running were normal. She also has a good vocabulary. She does not interact with strangers much. She does not interact with newly introduced peers. But, she is comfortable in her known surroundings. She is a thumbsucker.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I would like to say that every individual has a different constitution on the basis of vata, pitta, and kapha. Usually, the kapha is predominant in childhood. I can suggest the following for your daughter.
- Avoid curd in food and replace it with buttermilk.
- Avoid cheesy and creamy food items like cheese, pastries, cakes, etc.
- Always encourage her to green vegetables and simply digestible foods like porridge, etc.
- Do a whole-body massage of your daughter with lukewarm sesame oil at least two times a week.
- Avoid canned and preserved food items.
- I suggest she take HiOwna (Kshira, Kalaya, Kharjura, Kasani) by Himalaya Herbal Healthcare. This is an ayurvedic baby supplement for the good general health of your child. Five grams should be taken mixed in warm milk at bedtime or at breakfast. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent.
