First, understanding your body’s constitution, or prakriti, is key in Siddha-Ayurveda. Energy issues like yours often point to an imbalance between the doshas—particularly vata and pitta related to stress and overwork. If vata (air and space) becomes imbalanced, it can lead to anxiety and fatigue, while excessive pitta (fire and water) often relates to stress and burn-out.
To address stamina concerns, start with incorporating certain rejuvenating herbs known in Ayurveda. Ashwagandha is particularly effective; it acts as an adaptogen, helping the body cope with stress and improving endurance. You might take it in powdered form, about half a teaspoon mixed with warm milk before bed.
Also look into Shatavari, which supports sexual health and is cooling for both men and women, helping to balance pitta. It can be consumed in the same manner, or as part of a herbal tea blend. For men, Gokshura is known to support energy and vitality as well.
In terms of diet, focus on grounding and nourishing foods that calm vata and pitta. Warm, cooked meals with good fats such as ghee, nuts, and seeds are beneficial. Avoid spicy, fried foods which can aggravate pitta. Hydration is crucial—ensure you’re drinking enough water, alongside herbal teas to aid digestion and calm the mind.
Regular routine is crucial, make sure you’re getting enough sleep; try to wake up and go to bed at consistent times to rebalance your body’s circadian rhythm. Limit screen time before bed.
Exercise should be moderate and consistent; yoga or tai-chi can be great, as they’ll build strength and flexibility while also calming the mind. Focus on deep breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) or Anulom Vilom to balance your internal energy channels and reduce stress.
Finally, if these remedies don’t show improvement, consult with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized plan. Balance in your daily habits and diet, along with targeted herbal support, should put you on the path to improved stamina.
