For your restless legs, considering your work involves prolong standing, try to incorporate Ayurvedic practices to ease the symptoms. Firstly, massage your legs before bedtime with warm sesame oil. Sesame oil has “vata-balancing” properties which may help in calming restless legs. After applying oil, use a warm towel to wrap your legs; it might also aid in relaxation. Additionally, practice gentle yoga poses such as Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall pose), which might provide relief after a long day. Make sure to include more magnesium-rich foods, such as pumpkin seeds or spinach, which are beneficial in calming the nerves and muscles.
Regarding nighttime inflammation, your diet plays a crucial role. Opt to avoid or reduce inflammatory triggers. While vegetarian, focus on avoiding too much spicy, sour, or excessively salty foods which can aggravate inflammation. Try favoring a “vatadosha” -pacifying diet that includes warm, cooked foods with plenty of ghee and anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and cumin. Consider cooking with turmeric for its curcumin, famed for reducing inflammation. Also, ginger can be added for its anti-inflammatory property.
Keep your meals simple and cooked at home — avoid processed or overly heavy foods at dinner, as they can increase inflammation and disturb digestion at night. Drink warm herbal teas, such as tulsi or ginger, about an hour after meals to aid digestion and reduce inflammation. Ensuring you’re not eating too late at night can also be beneficial for controlling inflammation.
Stay hydrated through the day with warm or room temperature water, avoiding cold drinks. Proper hydration supports functioning of body systems and may alleviate inflammation naturally. With these practices and adjustments, you should start seeing some improvement.

Restless legs and nighttime inflammation can often point to imbalances in your body’s doshas. For restless legs, Vata imbalance, which tends to increase with age and activities involving prolonged standing, could be the underlying issue. Incorporating grounding and warm practices in your routine may help. Start by massaging the legs before bed using warm sesame oil; it can ease restlessness by calming Vata. Gently warm the oil and apply it in circular motions. If possible, do this every evening.
On the dietary front, a vegetarian diet is beneficial but focus on foods that pacify Vata. Consume warm, cooked meals with spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel. Avoid raw or cold foods, as they’re likely to aggravate Vata and contribute to discomfort.
For nighttime inflammation, which might be related to Pitta and Kapha imbalances, pay attention to the food choices throughout the day. To reduce inflammation, prefer foods that are less heating and oily. Include cooling foods like cucumber and leafy greens. Avoid processed foods, sugars, and excess salt; these tend to contribute to inflammatory states. Try incorporating turmeric, either in cooking or as a warm drink with milk before bedtime, which can help reduce inflammation due to its potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Stress reduction is also vital. Consider incorporating daily relaxation practices like yoga or meditation, focusing on deep breathing. If symptoms persist or secondary discomfort emerges, professional guidance is recommended to rule out underlying conditions that might require urgent care.
