Jaspinder Kaur
Jaspinder Kaur, a dedicated government teacher, had been suffering from persistent body pain and recurring weight fluctuations for many years. Following the birth of her children, her physical discomfort seemed to intensify, severely impacting her quality of life. She grappled with arthritis, ongoing gut issues, and an imbalance of the Ayurvedic doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha), weighing 99 kg at her heaviest.
Understanding Health Challenges
Jaspinder’s health journey was laden with obstacles. Chronic body pain, arthritis, gut problems, and weight management issues were constant companions in her life. Despite seeking various treatments, relief remained elusive. It was evident that a new approach was needed, one that delved deeper into the root causes of her ailments.
What is ANA (antinuclear antibodies)
Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are a type of antibody that your immune system makes. Normally, your immune system creates antibodies to fight off invaders like viruses and bacteria. However, antinuclear antibodies are different because they attack your body’s own cells, specifically targeting the nucleus (the control center) of each cell.
Symptoms:
- Fatigue
- Joint pain and swelling
- Skin rashes
- Fever
- Muscle pain
- Dry eyes or mouth
Settle Gut Health According to Ayurveda
Ayurveda views the digestive system as the foundation of health, often referred to as “Agni” (fire), symbolizing your digestive and metabolic strength. Strong Agni helps efficiently break down food and absorb nutrients, supporting overall health. Weak Agni can lead to the buildup of toxins (“Ama”) in the body, which Ayurveda considers the root cause of many health issues.
Tips to Settle Gut Health
- Eat according to your body type (Dosha)
- Follow a regular eating schedule
- Focus on Food Quality
- Practice mindful eating
- Avoid ice-cold drinks
- Yoga and exercise
