Regarding my father's health

[Guest guest]

Namaste Santosh,

 

By the sounds of the symptoms your father is suffering from depression first and

foremost. The interior source of the problems (psychiatrical) needs to be

addressed and remedied before the exterior psychological problems can be cured.

A lot of depressed people do not realize their condition and if they do, they

don't understand it and some find difficulty in accepting it.

 

If your father is open-minded about seeking help for his internal well being,

would like to suggest yoga, meditation, making new friends in social places or

even joining Laughter Yoga groups can help him tremendously. These activities

will give him something to do rather than stay home most of the time and getting

low moods and anxiety. The idea is to make him quite busy everyday so he is

tired at night and can sleep well.

 

Constipation and urine problems require help from allopathic doctors or

Ayurvedic practitioners. He should also try to eat light food that contains

more fiber such as steamed vegies with cheese. This helps with constipation and

digestion and skin problems. Itchy skin is a sign of dryness or dehydration of

the body so he must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Other times fruit

juice or tea would be fine. With the right diet and enough healthy fluids in

the body system, health will improve and itchy skin will be cured. Would also

like to suggest oil massage on the head from an Ayurvedic practitioner.

 

There are 3 types of depression from an Ayurvedic perspective, such as Vata

depression, Pitta depression and Kapha depression. From what you've mentioned,

your father seems to be suffering from Vata depression which is generally

associated with fear, anxiety, nervousness and insomnia. Rubbing the top of the

head and the soles of the feet with sesame oil is quite soothing to vata and

healing for vata depression.

 

Would like to recommend Rudraksha Water Beads for soaking in water overnight and

drinking the water the following morning :

Another recommendation for your father is to ask him if he is open to wearing

Dhanvantri Mala for healing (Dhanvantri is the Divine Physician who discovered

Ayurveda). If he would like to wear it, the link is:

Wishing a speedy recovery for your father,

Best wishes.
