Dear Patient: HABITS
If your job is requiring you to sit for long periods, this is likely a major cause of your circulatory issues. If your job consists of sitting at a desk all day, it will be essential to get up and move hourly. Simply taking a lunch break or getting up and using the restroom periodically is not enough. Here are some essential habits to consider if you are prone to sitting all day long.
Get up every hour to get a drink of water, use the bathroom, or simply shake out your limbs. Every 2 to 3 hours take 5 to 15 minutes to stretch the affected Leg. Talk a short walk after lunch, even if only for 5 to 10 minutes. Ergonomic practices while sitting by using the proper chair, keyboard, etc, as well as proper alignment in sitting, is recommended.
FOOD HABITS (AAHAR)
Drinking hot water is a simple way to aid in circulation. Drink ginger tea in the morning and drink 1 to 3 cups daily. Regular massage will promote warmth, and blood flow to the Legs. Similar to a hot bath, sauna and steam rooms are also effective. Keep warm and practice Yoga daily.
These foods are advisable to improve circulation: Beets, Pomegranate, Garlic, Onion, Seeds like flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and hemp seeds, Spinach, Citrus fruits, Green Tea,
AUSHADHI
Take 1/2 teaspoon of Trikatu Churna in 1 teaspoon of honey three times daily, 30 minutes before each meal. Other beneficial herbs are: Ginger, Turmeric, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia), Guggulu (Comifora mukul), Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Boswelia, Shilajit, Amalaki (Emblica officinalis ), Spirulina.
