—Since you’ve had ADHD symptoms for over 5 years and moderate IBS symptoms, with irregular eating habits contributing, we should focus on calming the nervous system, balancing Pitta, and improving digestion. –Equally important is lifestyle — regular meal times, cooling foods, stress management, and practices like oil massage or breathing exercises can significantly help both attention and IBS symptoms. —Prescription 1)Brahmi Vati – 1 tab twice daily after food 2)Shankhpushpi Syrup – 10 ml twice daily after meals 3)Avipattikar Churna – 3 g twice daily before food with lukewarm water 4)Triphala Churna – 3 g at bedtime with warm water 5) tab mentat 1 tab at bed time ---- External Therapy Abhyanga with Brahmi oil – daily or 3x/week Consider Shirodhara course (15 days) with sheerbala taila —Pathya Strict regular meal timings Avoid spicy, fried, sour foods Use cumin–coriander–fennel water Early dinner ----Apathya Skipping meals Excess caffeine Late nights —Review after: 4 weeks
