HOME REMEDIES

  • Intake of water frequently to avoid dehydration due to diarrhoea
  • Intake of water boiled with coriander and cumin seeds

Mesenteric lymphadenitis DIET

  • Avoid food items that produce dosha imbalance like cold and dry food, hard to digest. Because dosha imbalance aggravates the symptoms.
  • Consume easily digestible food items, gruels, goat’s milk
  • Avoid taking food and water from the disease-prevalent areas

YOGA

Nadi Shuddi Pranayam – calms the mind and is effective in abdominal discomfort

The patient needs to be seated in a meditative posture with the head and spine erect, and the body relaxed. The patient has to close one nostril (e.g. left nostril if using the right hand and vice versa) with the thumb and exhale completely through the other nostril. Again, he will have to breathe in deeply through the other nostril while the opposite nostril is still closed with the thumb.

The practices of shatkriya or yogic cleansing techniques purify the body and prevent digestive problems.
