AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON GENERAL MALAISE

General malaise is a general feeling that you are unwell. You may feel like you are coming down with a cold or a fever. In the absence of an infection, general malaise is usually a sign of toxic buildup. You simply might not feel like yourself anymore. The source of toxins can be diet, environmental, hormonal, fungus infection, candida outbreak, or sinus infection. General malaise may be related to lymphatic congestion. Malaise is akin to a kind of bodily nausea, and therefore closely related to nausea in the stomach. You may have generally feel disgusting. A Kapha person may need to cleanse in order to detoxify. If you have a Vata constitution, a cleanse may be too depleting and unnecessary. In all constitutions the source of the toxin needs to be removed.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

GENERAL MALAISE IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
