Can ayurvedic medicines improve immunity?

Question

Hi doctor,

I got malaria and typhoid last month. Due to this, I underwent mental stress because I was staying alone there. Due to the mental stress, it took two months to regain my health. I came back to my country and did all the tests. According to the doctor, I do not have typhoid and malaria. I took heavy doses of antibiotics, and as a result, I suffered from constipation and developed symptoms of piles.

The doctors say that there is no more treatment required. Now, I am not having constipation anymore, but I can see a very mild piles symptom. I also have a mild breathing problem and a mild nose block. I have Giloy Ghan Vati, neem capsules, Pilex capsules and cream, and LIv.52. I am perfectly all right according to doctors. I want to improve my immunity. I request you to recommend how to consume these tablets for a shorter duration, which will take care of my immunity and malaria. I never consulted any doctor for this. Please note that I am consuming half a cup of milk morning and evening with have teaspoon of Ashwagandha and Shatavari. The medical reports are attached along with this message.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query and saw all your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). All laboratory investigations are within normal limits, and now you do not have any problem according to investigations.

For mild piles, do a sitz bath once or twice daily. For a sitz bath, take lukewarm water and put some Betadine in water or you can simply take lukewarm water if you do not have betadine, then sit in this water for 10 to 15 minutes after passing stool. Then apply Pilex ointment (Chui Mui and Yashad bhasma) locally. Do it regularly, and soon your mild piles will vanish. Along with this, take two Pilex capsules with water in the ev ening for three weeks.

For mild nasal blockage, take steam two times daily. You can add two to three drops of eucalyptus oil in the water. Also, take mustard oil and put two drops of it in each nostril once a day. Initially, you will find it very annoying, but it is very helpful for your nasal blockage. Do it regularly and when you get relief from nasal blockage then stop doing both these things. As your reports are normal and you do not have any health issues now, you do not need any medicines. But if you still want to take medicine, then take it as follows:

Tablet Giloy Ghan Vati (Giloy) two tablets twice a day with water after food for three weeks.
Capsule Neem (Neem extract), two capsules once a day after food for two weeks.
Tablet Liv.52 (Himsra and Kasani), two tablets twice a day with water after food for a month.
If you have gained your lost weight and had taken Ashwagandha and Shatavari for about one month, then no need to take it further. However, if you want to consume it for some more time, then you can take it for two or three weeks more. Along with this, I suggest you try doing the following:
Take fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Prefer homemade food.
Avoid excessive caffeinated drinks, and spicy, and junk food.
Walk daily at least for 30 to 60 minutes.
Sleep adequately at least for 6 to 8 hours and try to sleep before midnight. Avoid TV, laptop, and mobile, an hour before sleeping, as their blue light hinders the normal sleep pattern. Sleeping has a major role in the health of a person.

Consult me after four weeks regarding improvement, or you can consult any other nearby physician if you want to.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer.

Thank you.
