Delirium - #19596

Mia

I’ve been feeling kind of off lately, and I'm worried it might be related to delirium. It all started a couple of weeks ago when I noticed I couldn't focus properly, and sometimes I felt like I was drifting in and out of reality. I’d be sitting at home, and suddenly, everything around me would feel foggy and disconnected, almost like I wasn’t really there. I’ve never had something like this before, and at first, I thought it was just stress, but now I’m not sure. At night, I’ve been experiencing restless sleep. Sometimes, I feel so disoriented that I can’t tell whether I’m dreaming or awake. It’s almost as if my thoughts are completely scattered, and I can’t make sense of things around me. I’ve been trying to push through it, but my family is starting to notice, and they’re getting concerned about what’s going on. I haven’t had any major health problems before, so I’m not sure if this could be linked to a medical condition or something else. I did go to my doctor, and they did some tests for infections and blood work, but everything came back normal. They suggested that I might be experiencing a mild form of delirium, though. I didn’t know much about delirium at first, but after researching, I realized it could be triggered by many things, including stress or medication side effects. I’ve been on some new medications for a while now, so I wonder if that might be affecting me. I’m also a bit older, and I’ve heard delirium can be more common in older adults. But I’m still not sure if my symptoms fit what I read online. Sometimes, I just feel disconnected from my body or like I can’t keep up with what’s happening around me. It’s confusing, and I don’t know how to explain it to others. I want to know if there are any natural remedies or treatments in Ayurveda that could help with delirium, especially if it's linked to stress or medication side effects. Do you think this could be part of a deeper issue, like an imbalance in the body or mind? Can herbs or treatments like Panchakarma help clear up this foggy feeling and make me feel more grounded again? I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve dealt with similar cases in Ayurveda. Do you think delirium is treatable in a natural way, and what can I do to start feeling like myself again?

It sounds like you are experiencing a challenging situation, and it’s commendable that you are seeking help. Based on your description, your symptoms could indeed reflect a disruption in the doshas, particularly an imbalance of Vata dosha, which governs mental clarity and grounding. Stress and new medications can elevate Vata, leading to the feelings of disconnection and restlessness you are experiencing. To address this, it’s essential to focus on nurturing your mind and body through Ayurvedic practices.

Begin by establishing a calming daily routine that promotes stability. Aim for a consistent sleep schedule, ideally going to bed early and waking up at the same time each day to enhance your restorative sleep. Create a peaceful bedtime environment, perhaps with soothing music or guided meditations. Incorporate gentle restorative yoga or breathing exercises (like pranayama) in your morning and evening routines to help ground your energy and calm your mind.

For dietary adjustments, prioritize warm, nourishing foods that are easy to digest. Consider cooked grains like oatmeal or rice and add grounding vegetables like sweet potatoes and squash. Herbal teas with calming properties, such as chamomile, licorice, or ashwagandha can help soothe your nervous system. Honey and warm milk with spices like cardamom and turmeric can also provide comfort and balance.

In terms of herbs, Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is excellent for enhancing cognitive function and clarity, while Ashwagandha can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting mental stability. You might also consider using Ghee (clarified butter) in your cooking, which can help nourish the nervous system.

If you have access to a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, Panchakarma therapies such as Shirodhara (where warm oil is poured over the forehead) might be beneficial to alleviate mental fog and restore inner balance.

However, please consult your healthcare provider before starting any new herbal treatments or therapies, especially since you are currently on medication. Monitor your symptoms closely and discuss any persistent concerns with your doctor. Remember that improvement takes time and patience, so be gentle with yourself as you explore these natural remedies.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Payal Rumi Mandape
I am working right now as a Senior Research Fellow on an AYUSH-funded project under CCRAS—it’s a big one for me. It’s not just about writing papers or collecting data, like some people assume. We’re actually trying to validate classical Ayurvedic treatments using proper research methods, real patients, real clinical outcomes. I didn’t expect research to pull me in this deep honestly, but it’s showing me how much of Ayurveda still needs to be *re-seen* through today's lens. Not reinvented, just translated properly. That’s the work we’re doing—trying to show what already works, in a language modern healthcare understands. Alongside that, I also work as a personal diet consultant with Bajaj Capital. It’s a different setup entirely—one-on-one with clients who’re mostly confused about food, health, energy, what’s wrong or right for their body type. I build plans based on their prakriti, current imbalances (some ppl don’t even know they have any!), season, and life habits. And no, it’s not only about what to eat—it’s also about when, how, how much. Diet, sleep, stress—all of it connects. Sometimes the advice is dead simple, but that’s exactly what people ignore. This combination—research plus real-life consulting—it’s made my approach more grounded, I think. I’m always toggling between ancient texts and current-day issues like burnout, insulin resistance, or digestion that just refuses to settle. Whether it's a vata-heavy imbalance or long-term acidity or even lifestyle stuff like thyroid or bp, my goal is to keep it practical and honest—not just throw herbs or panchkarma at every single thing. It's about fitting Ayurveda into the real life ppl are living.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Arpita Bhaskar
I am an Ayurvedia practioner who’s kinda always drawn to healing things the natural way... herbs, lifestyle shifts, that deeper root-cause thing—ya that’s where I feel connected. I’ve done my graduation in BAMS from Government Ayurveda College, Jabalpur, MP. Those years were tough and full of grind but it gave me this solid, like really solid, foundation in classical Ayurvedic sciences. And yeah, not just bookish... real world side of it too. Now my focus honestly is to keep learning while helping real people—who come in with digestion problems or hormonal mess or mental stress or even chronic fatigue they can’t explain. Every case is diff, even if symptoms look same outside. That part makes me stop and look closer—what is vitiated? What system is overworking or under? My mind instantly shifts into that mode, trying to trace the imbalance and realign it without suppressin anything. Right now I’m still early in the field, but every patient, every prakriti I see adds a layer to how I understand dis-ease. I don’t rush, mostly just try to listen first... ppl are usually surprised when you sit n listen without cutting them off mid sentence. I don’t claim to fix everything but I do keep that long-term goal in mind—healing that lasts beyond just medicine course. My interest stays rooted in ahar, vihar, and herbal chikitsa. Working with traditional herbs in customized way, not some one-size-fits-all type. I feel Ayurveda demands patience, and yeah, I’m okay with that. Cuz body speaks when we slow down. And that’s what I try to bring in my work—space to slow down, observe, correct gently. Of course I mess up sometimes or miss smth small.. but I reflect and adjust. It’s all part of the practice. I wanna grow steady, keep that fire for real healing alive. This path’s not loud, but it’s deep. And I’m here for it.

Dr. Rakesh Ramesh Ankam
I am an Ayurvedic physician with 15+ yrs into clinical practice, and honestly, I still feel like I’m learning w every patient. Most of my work is rooted in classical texts—true—but I also spend a lot of time adapting that to real ppl’s lives. I mainly deal with lifestyle disorders, skin issues, joint pain stuff… but truth is, nothing ever shows up isolated. One thing’s always tied to another—like gut to skin, or stress to inflammation, etc. That’s kinda where my obsession with prakriti-vikriti balance started. I do a lot of work with chronic joint conditions—arthritis, cervical/lumbar spondylosis, autoimmune inflammations too. Panchakarma is the backbone there, esp Basti & Abhyanga, plus meds that don’t hit digestion too hard. I mix rehab therapy too for better movement—treatment can't just be internal always. For skin, I mostly see acne, eczema, pigmentation stuff, psoriasis. I usually go with detox + rasayana + diet + maybe some lifestyle shifts (no one likes that part much, lol, but it works best). I’m also kinda strong about Dinacharya & Ritucharya. Not just as theory but actual practice. Like, people wanna fix illness but they don’t realize their day-to-day is half the problem. That’s where my role is—I help them tweak diet routines, explain their dosha patterns in simple language, stuff they can hold onto even after treatment ends. End of day, my aim isn’t just "symptom relief"—it’s giving ppl a way back into their body. Teaching them they can trust it again. That’s the real healing. And when someone finally tells me their pain's gone or skin feels better or digestion is quiet—those small things—that's what makes this whole Ayurveda journey worth it. Every single time.

Dr. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. Shivam Raj
I am working with around 2 years of experince in gynecology & obstetrics, neurology and general medicine, and honestly those years taught me more than any textbook could. In gynae & obs I was deeply involved in patient monitoring, labour room management, supporting deliveries safely, making sure protocols were followed but also knowing when to adapt depending on patient’s need. It wasn’t just about procedures, it was about being present with mothers and families in very intense moments. In neurology dept I got chance to see complex cases—stroke, seizure disorders, neuropathies, long-term neurodegenerative conditions. These patients taught me patience, that small clinical signs matter, and that quick decision making and calm observation have to go together. In general medicine, the variety was endless, from diabetes, hypertension, infections, metabolic conditions to multi-organ complications. That is where my base really got strong, because you learn to think broadly and not miss the small things. Alongside, I trained properly in ICU procedures—ventilator settings, central and arterial lines, intubations, fluid management, monitoring critical vitals. ICU exposure gave me confidence to handle acute emergencies where seconds can change outcomes. Those moments are stressful, sometimes even overwhelming, but they sharpened my focus and discipline. I also realized medicine is not just about machines or drugs, it is also communication—explaining clearly to families, guiding them when fear is highest. Now I find myself more inclined towards general medicine and neurology, because I like to see patient as whole person not just one system. Neurology especially fascinates me, how subtle clues can lead to a diagnosis if you pay enough attention. My approach is simple—combine thorough history, strong clinical exam and evidence-based protocols, while individualizing care. Looking back, I see my experience as a mix of structure and judgment. Protocols gave me direction, patients gave me perspective. That combination of critical care training, neurological depth and general medicine breadth shapes how I practice today—safe, patient centered and focused on improving quality of life, not just controlling disease.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Garima Mattu
I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.
