Symptoms

1)  Discomfort and tension in the forehead area and blocked nostrils every morning.  This condition varied in its severity and had lasted for as long as I can remember.

2)  Bloatedness after meals resulting in quite painful trapped wind, mainly at work when I am sitting at a desk for several hours after lunch.  I usually went for an energetic walk a couple of hours after eating for about 30 to 50 minutes, but this didn't help.

3) Some constipation, daily bowel movements interrupted about every fifth day for one to three days.  Stools varied in composition, but mainly very sticky with some days of  several small very dry stolls which were difficult to pass.

Post-Ayurvedic Consultations and Treatment

1)  I no longer wake up with the tension in my forehead since taking the Anu Taila drops for a few days.  After the Nasya treatment with you I was able to breath clearly through both nostrils on waking in the morning and my head was much clearer. The massage you performed was very firm and I think very effective.  The subsequent Nasyas have cleared my catarrh well.  My nasal passages are not so blocked in the mornings now, but there is some mucus.  I think that drastically reducing my intake of dairy products and bread has reduced the build up of mucus in my head, but if I don't use the Anu Taila drops regularly I still have the catarrh, but it has not returned to the levels before my consultations.  Neti is also good for clearing my nose in the mornings.

2)  Provided I eat the foods you have recommended, on the whole I do not suffer from trapped wind in the afternoons at work.  When I do have this now, it is not as severe as before and can disappear before I leave the office.  Previously, I was in a lot of discomfort until early evening. The ten minute stroll ten minutes after eating seems to help. 

3)  I now suffer from fewer days of constipation, although the timing of my bowel movements still varies.  I tend to get problems mainly after days when I have eaten foods you have recommended that I avoid, but unfortunately my friends eat those foods regularly so I can't always avoid them.  As long as I return to the recommended foods the next day and only eat when I feel hungry my system is happy again. The consistency of my stools still varies a little, but on the whole they are solid and not sticky.

At my last consultation I mentioned that I was getting cold sores regularly again.  I have avoided the foods that you suggested and I have not had any sores so far.  I also mentioned that I have a yeast infection.  I have taken the medicines and supplements you prescribed and think I may now be producing less gas, but it's hard to say.

I'm really pleased with the consultations I have had and can definitely feel the benefits.  A couple of my friends have mentioned how well I look and that my skin has improved.  I feel calmer and less short-tempered at times.  I have lost about nine pounds in weight since my first consultation without trying to lose weight, which I am very pleased about.

Best wishes
