Post-Vaccine Fatigue? 3 Ayurvedic Tips to Rebalance Your Body
While mild tiredness after vaccination is normal, if you continue to experience significant fatigue even a week later, it's wise to consult an Ayurvedic physician
Vaccinations shield us against illnesses, but sometimes they leave the body feeling weak and drained. Vaccine fatigue — a lingering sensation of tiredness and weakness — is increasingly common, often lasting up to three-four days, depending on the individual's body type. Ayurveda offers time-tested, natural solutions to restore your energy and bring your body back into balance.
Here are three effective Ayurvedic remedies, recommended by Dr. Partap Chauhan, Founder and Director, Jiva Ayurveda, world-renowned Ayurveda Acharya, and author, to help you rise and shine again:
1. Ashwagandha for Energy and Stress Relief
Ashwagandha is one of Ayurveda's most revered adaptogens, known for enhancing the body's natural resistance to stress and fatigue. It boosts stamina, elevates energy levels, and promotes mental calmness — making it an excellent support during post-vaccination recovery. By regulating cortisol levels and improving overall vitality, Ashwagandha addresses both physical and mental exhaustion.
Try this: Take 1–2 Jiva Ashwagandha tablets daily with food to gradually rebuild your energy and resilience.
2. Chyawanprash to Enhance Immunity and Rebuild Ojas
Chyawanprash is a classical Ayurvedic formulation made from over 40 potent herbs, including Amla, a rich source of Vitamin C. It rejuvenates the immune system, repairs tissues, and replenishes ojas — the vital essence that governs immunity, strength, and vitality. A nourishing tonic, Chyawanprash can greatly aid your body's recovery after vaccination, especially when your immune system is under added stress.
3. Light Detox and Self-Care for Gentle Recovery
A mild detoxification process can help eliminate excess toxins and restore balance. Simple practices like sipping warm water throughout the day, eating light meals such as khichdi, and drinking ginger tea can soothe digestion and reduce inflammation. Self-abhyanga — a calming self-massage with warm Ayurvedic oil — nurtures the nervous system, enhances circulation, and promotes restorative sleep, both crucial for healing.
Try this: Spend 10–15 minutes daily on self-abhyanga, followed by a warm bath to deeply relax the body and mind.
When to Seek Expert Help
While mild tiredness after vaccination is normal, if you continue to experience significant fatigue even a week later, it's wise to consult an Ayurvedic physician. Prolonged exhaustion may indicate an underlying imbalance or condition that requires personalized care.

Can turmeric be bad for your kidneys?
Turmeric is known as the golden spice of India because it is universally used in our culture. It signifies auspiciousness in our weddings and is a magic healer for almost every disease, according to Ayurveda. It is even known to significantly improve kidney function, but turns out that isn't always the case. Let's find out how turmeric could also affect our kidney health negatively! Turmeric's anti-inflammatory qualities aid in maintaining kidney function, and its antioxidant properties can prevent harm caused by oxidative stress on kidney cells. While we can see that turmeric has amazing benefits for the kidney, there are also drawbacks for renal health. 'Curcumin, the primary element in turmeric, can raise oxalate levels in the urine. This may increase the chance of kidney stones, especially for people who are already prone to them,' said Kanikka Malhotra, Consultant Dietitian and Diabates Educator. Furthermore, turmeric's blood-thinning effects may be problematic for people with bleeding problems or those using blood thinners, as it might cause excessive bleeding. If you have a history of kidney stones or are at risk, you should consult a healthcare professional before using turmeric supplements or increasing your turmeric use significantly. 'While moderate dosages are typically regarded safe, high doses or excessive use of concentrated supplements can raise the risk of negative effects, including kidney problems,' said Kanikka. This means that the levels commonly used in cooking are unlikely to create adverse effects. However, if you're thinking about using turmeric pills for other bodily issues, make sure to follow the label's advised dosage. Typically, dosages of 500 to 2000 mg per day have been recommended. Even then, Kanikka recommends to begin with a lesser dose and gradually raise it as needed.

Kalonji Vs Jeera: Which One Is Best For Hair Growth?
Last Updated: Kalonji and jeera are both used in hair care to restore hair health and bring back the shine and strength. Find out which of these spices is more suited for your haircare needs. The desire for long, healthy-looking hair is a common aspiration shared by many individuals. They incorporate natural hair care advice into their routines to promote hair growth. When it comes to promoting hair growth, two spices stand out – kalonji (Nigella seed) and jeera (Cumin). Both are renowned for their benefits in natural hair care, but which one is more effective? Let's dive into the benefits of each and explore how to use them for hair growth. Kalonji has been used for ages in Ayurvedic and Middle Eastern beauty routines for its antioxidant, fatty acid, and thymoquinone content. These properties help soothe an itchy, oily, or flaky scalp, which helps in hair growth. Kalonji strengthens roots, reduces breakage, and promotes long-term hair health. It is a good choice for those with weak roots, breakage, or flaky scalp issues. Jeera Jeera, or cumin, is rich in iron and other nutrients that support healthy hair growth. It is particularly useful for clearing scalp buildup and improving blood circulation. If your hair fall is due to a dirty or clogged scalp, jeera might provide faster relief. While it may not offer long-term strength like kalonji, it is great for a quick scalp refresh. If you have weak roots, breakage, or a flaky scalp, kalonji oil is your best bet. It works deeper and slower, strengthening your hair over time. But if your hair is dull or feels heavy and greasy, jeera can help clean things up and boost blood flow to your scalp. Kalonji: Warm up 1-2 tbsp of kalonji oil, massage it into your scalp for 5-10 minutes using your fingertips and leave it on for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Rinse with a gentle shampoo. Repeat this process once or twice a week for best results. Jeera: Boil 2 tbsp of jeera in 2 cups of water, let it cool, and use it as a final rinse after washing your hair. Leave it for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. Try this process 2–3 times a week. Can You Use Both? Of course, you can use both of these spices together, which complement each other well. Once a week, you can use kalonji oil to strengthen and nourish your scalp. In between, you can use jeera water to keep it healthy. view comments First Published: July 20, 2025, 12:21 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
