Given your symptoms of persistent fatigue and anxiety, Nagarjuna Balaashwagandhaadi Thailam might actually be worth considering. It’s primarily used as an external application oil designed to strengthen nerves, improve mental clarity, and reduce stress, making it suited for your described concerns. Due to its ingredients like Bala and Ashwagandha, this thailam aids in calming the mind and balancing vata dosha, often linked with anxiety and nervous system issues.
For application, it’s typically used externally. You should massage a small amount onto areas where tension is likely held, like your neck, shoulders, and temples. This can aid relaxation and possibly improve sleep quality if done before bed. You’re doing okay with trying it on your wrists, but it might be more effective if applied more generously and massaged in. The massage stimulates nadis and increases circulation.
Since you’ve also mentioned mild aches and a feeling of your body shutting down, these could relate to imbalanced vata—common with stress and overwork. Regular self-massage, known as abhyanga in Ayurveda, with the thailam can soothe these imbalances. Aim for daily use if possible, especially in the evenings, but respect your body’s needs, and avoid overdoing the massage if you’ve soreness.
Always patch test a small area before extensive use to ensure no skin sensitivities. Also, integrating ashwagandha internally, like ashwagandha churna or capsules, could complement your routine, but check with a practitioner to confirm it’s suitable to your individual constitution.
While Ayurveda is holistic and preventive, if symptoms persist or worsen, definitely follow-up with your healthcare provider. Balance practices like yoga or pranayama can also substantially support reducing stress and improving your overall balance.
