HELLO ,

You are experiencing a mind-gut imbalance, which affects both your emotions and your digestion.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY AND MIND -In Ayurveda, your symptoms come mainly from Vata imbalance (dryness, restlessness, overthinking, poor sleep, constipation) and partly from pitta disturbance (irritability, acidity, stress triggered IBS)

When vata and pitta are disturbed for a long time -The mind becomes anxious, worried, low in confidence -sleep becomes disturbed or light -the digestive system becomes irregular- leading to gas, constipation, or IBS

This forms a cycle: stress-> poor digestion-> toxins-> more stress

Your symptoms suggest there may be an imbalance in your Vata dosha, which can affect the mind and digestive system. In Ayurveda, anxiety, insomnia, and IBS (particularly the constipation type) often relate to aggravated Vata. While you’ve tried several herbs, it’s crucial to ensure they’re administered in a way that balances Vata specifically.

Firstly, consider incorporating a grounding daily routine. Start your day with Abhyanga, self-massage with warm sesame oil, which helps calm Vata. It’s best to apply oil for about 15-20 minutes before bathing, ideally in the morning. Also, establish a consistent sleep schedule, going to bed by 10 PM and waking around 6 AM, to align with natural circadian rhythms.

Regarding diet, focus on warm, moist, and easy-to-digest foods. Favor cooked vegetables, sweet fruits, whole grains like rice and oats, and good fats like ghee or olive oil. Avoid dry, raw, cold, and spicy foods which can aggravate Vata. Drinking warm water or ginger tea can aid digestion.

Consider adding Triphala, a time-tested remedy for constipation and digestion, taking it before bed. Half a teaspoon of Triphala powder in warm water can stimulate the digestive fire without aggravating symptoms. Also, Bhringraj tea or capsules can provide further mental clarity and calm, supporting your mind and sleep patterns.

Ven regular gentle exercises like yoga or tai chi can stabilize mood and digestion. Focus on calming postures and deep breathing practices like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing). However, if symptoms persist or worsen, especially regarding insomnia and depression, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional to explore integrative or medical interventions, as these conditions sometimes require more immediate action. Please remember, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach, and adjusting lifestyle and dietary practices might gradually restore balance.
