NAMASTE VASUDEV JI,

SEVERE ANXIETY AND PANIC- shivering, suffocating ,abnormal breathing

DEPRRESION- sleeping too much and fatigue

PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS- dizziness, spinning head, tiredness

These symptoms may stem from a combination of Vata and pitta imbalance in ayurveda, often aggravated by mental stress, poor digestion, irregular routine or emotional trauma.

TREATMENT PROTOCOL

1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 3 months = reduces anxiety, strengthen nervous system, stabilises cortisol

2) BRAHMI GHRITA- 1/2 tsp with warm water empty stomach In morning for 3 months = cognitive support, calming effect, balances vata-pitta

3) SHANKHAPUSHPI SYRUP- 2 tsp twice daily with water for 3months =calms mind, improves memory, treats insomnia and panic

4) MANAS MITRA GULIKA- 1 tab twice daily with warm water after meals for 40 days = potent nervine tonic, relieves panic attack, boosts mood

5) TAGAR CAPSULE- 1cap at night for 1 month = natural sedative, helps induce restful sleep

ADVISED PANCHAKARMA IF FEASIBLE GO FOR IT -Abhyanga -Shirodhara -Nasya -Takradhara -Basti

YOGA AND PRANAYAM

1) ANULOM-VILOM- 10 min morning= balances vata pitta and calms nerves

2) BHRAMARI- 5 min= controls panic, slows breath

3) SHEETALI/SHEETKARI- 5 min= reduces heat, pitta mental restlessness

4) YOGA NIDRA- 20 min daily= deep healing relaxation

5) ASANAS- 20-30 min= childs pose, legs up wall, forward bends

Avoid kapalbhati

DIET TO FOLLOW -warm ,soft easy to digest fooods= khichdi, soups, cooked veggies - ghee, cow milk- boiled with turmeric and nutmeg - soaked almonds, dates, raisins - herbal tea- brahmi tea, tulsi tea, CCF(coriander cumin fennel) tea

AVOID -caffeine, sugar, fried and processed food - cold, raw, or stale food - late night meals -excess salty/ spicy/ pungent foods

LIFESTYLE -wake up before 7 am -avoid screen 1 hour before bed - establish fixed sleep and wake up times - oil feet before bed with brahmi taila - keep a gratitude/ emotion journal

THANK YOU

Saraswatharishtam contains sugar, which is generally a concern for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Your caution in considering Saraswatharishtam is valid, given your prediabetic status and fasting sugar level of 125. Instead of Saraswatharishtam, you might consider using a combination that does not worsen blood sugar levels. Brahmi Vati, which you mentioned, is a good choice, as it helps calm the mind and enhance cognitive function without raising blood sugar.

Considering your hot nature and gastric issues, keeping pitta and vata in balance is crucial. You might explore alternatives or additional support, like Ashwagandha, which is calming and nourishing, or Shankha Pushpi, known for its mind-soothing properties and support for digestive health.

For constipation, triphala can be very beneficial. Take one teaspoon of triphala powder with warm water before bed to help regulate bowel movements. Consuming warm, unctuous foods that balance Vata, such as ghee, cooked vegetables, and warm soups, may also be supportive for both digestion and anxiety management, given their grounding qualities.

Yoga and pranayama can be excellent tools for managing stress and anxiety. Practices such as Anulom Vilom, or alternate nostril breathing, might help balance the mind and reduce anxiety.

As always, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner who knows your case history well before making significant changes, especially when prediabetes and a sensitive digestive system are involved. This approach will, hopefully, support your journey towards feeling more centered and having stable energy levels and digestion.
