Sunbasking along with vitD supplementation is recommended.
Sunbasking is most effective during sunrise for 30mins turn your back towards the sun. Wear light thin cotton clothes to allow sun rays to penetrate into the skin.

Vitamin D level in a 35 years old female is below:
Sufficiency (Normal): 30 ng/mL or higher
Insufficiency: 20 to 29 ng/mL
Deficiency: Below 20 ng/mL
Toxicity: Above 150 ng/m
As your level is 9 ng/L so you are deficient in Vitamin D. Treatment is simple, i.e. take Vit D. Also Vit D helps in Calcium absorption from intestine. So take Calcium.

Hello,
The level of Vit D in your blood report is very low and it needs to be corrected by proper medicines.
Injection Arachitol 3L IU is a good option. (Needs a prescription from a doctor and must be given by a qualified person only. It is not for self medication)
After one dose of this injection, please take Vit. D-Rise 60K sachet once a week of 8 weeks.
Take this sachet with milk of after taking some fatty food, as it improves the absorption of Vit D.
