hello ridhi, You’re just 25, yet your body and mind are signalling a state of deep functional exhaustion, not easily visible in routine tests. The fact that your symptoms worsen during the rainy season, with severe anxiety, tremors, muscle fatigue, gastric issues, and a restless mind even during sleep, clearly points toward an aggravated Vata dosha, especially Vata in the nervous system (Majja dhatu) and Manovaha srotas (mental channels).
During the rainy season, Vata becomes unstable, especially in sensitive individuals. If your digestion (Agni) is low, and your mind is already overactive, this season can throw your system into complete imbalance. That’s why your brain feels like it’s in overdrive, body feels weak, you can’t focus, and despite sleeping, you don’t feel rested. This is not a disease it’s a reversible neuro-hormonal imbalance triggered by season and lifestyle.
Now your gut-brain connection is also affected, hence gas, bloating, poor absorption, and low energy. And your memory issues and fatigue are signs of dhatu depletion (especially Majja and Ojas).

Given the seasonal nature of your symptoms, it could be related to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which tends to get aggravated during the rainy season. This dosha governs movement and is responsible for your mind’s activity and bodily functions. When in imbalance, Vata can contribute to anxiety, restlessness, trembling, and muscle stiffness.
To begin addressing your concerns, grounding is key. Try warming foods, cooked and moist, which helps balance Vata. Incorporate whole grains like rice and wheat, including vegetables such as carrots, beets, and sweet potatoes. Spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel can aid digestion and soothe gastric issues.
Consider practicing Abhyanga, an Ayurvedic self-massage using warm sesame oil, daily in the morning. This activates the body and helps muscle relaxation, easing stiffness. Focus the oil not just on major muscles, but also knuckles and joints. You can also add lavender or chamomile to the oil for additional relaxation benefits.
For your sleep concerns and to manage overthinking, try a teaspoon of warm milk with nutmeg and honey before bed. Concentrate on establishing a consistent bedtime, and engage in calming activities, such as warm bath or reading something light. Avoid stimulating content or screens an hour before bed.
Pranayama can be immensely beneficial. Practices like Anulom Vilom or Nadi Shodhana helps calm the mind, reducing anxiety and enhances clarity. Try these for 10 minutes twice a day, preferably morning and evening.
Regarding memory and concentration, Brahmi or Bacopa monnieri is an Ayurvedic herb known for improving cognitive functions. A small amount in powder form or tablets with water can be taken, but advise consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting.
Drink warm fluids throughout the day to aid with digestion and keep your digestive fire strong, such as ginger tea or lukewarm water. Hydration can also aid lethargy and boost energy levels.
If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a practitioner for a purvakarma or other specific Ayurvedic therapies tailored specifically to your constitution.
Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in Vata dosha, which tends to increase during the rainy season due to its inherent qualities of dryness and mobility. This can lead to issues like anxiety, muscle stiffness, and overactive thought processes. It’s important to ground and stabilize Vata through diet, lifestyle, and specific practices.
First, consider your diet: focus on warm, nourishing, and easily digestible foods. Avoid raw, cold items and include ingredients like ghee, sesame oil, and cooked vegetables. Incorporate spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric to strengthen your agni (digestive fire) and address gastric issues. Drinking warm herbal teas made from fennel or chamomile can also help soothe Vata.
Establish a consistent daily routine. Wake up and go to bed at the same time each day to regulate your body’s rhythms. Practice gentle exercises like yoga or tai chi, which help release stiffness and relax muscle tension. For your overactive mind, engage in regular meditation or pranayama (breathing exercises) to calm mental agitations. Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) in particular can stabilize and soothe anxiety.
Consider Abhyanga, a self-massage with warm sesame oil, performed before your bath. This can help relax the muscles and elevate mood. In terms of herbal supplementation, ashwagandha may be beneficial to support your nervous system. However, consult a qualified Ayurveda practitioner for personalized advice, given the complexity of your symptoms.
If there’s anything suggesting a serious condition, like severe shortness of breath or continuous lethargy, do not hesitate to contact a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues. While your checkups have been normal, it’s vital to stay vigilant and prioritize your safety.
