Hello Jagannath ji,
I really get how tough it’s been for you, dealing with insomnia, mood swings, anxiety, fuzzy memory, and psychiatric meds for so long. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊
YOUR CONCERN You’re 63 years old and have:
* Long-term trouble sleeping * Bipolar disorder/mood changes * Anxiety, brain fog, bad memory * A Vata body type, meaning very dry skin * Poor appetite, tendency for diarrhea * Low energy * Been on psychiatric meds for a while (and already lowered the dose)
Currently, you’re using:
* Krishna’s Ayurvedic sleep juice (Jatamansi, Tagara, Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Vacha, Triphala) * Dabur Stresscom Ashwagandha * A vegetarian diet
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
Your situation points to a strong Vata imbalance, which affects your: * Mind and nervous system (Manovaha srotas dushti) * Nervous tissue (Majja dhatu kshaya) * Mental toughness (Oja kshaya) * Long-term insomnia (Anidra) with anxiety (Chittodvega)
For bipolar disorder, Ayurveda recognizes:
* Shifting Vata–Pitta states in the mind * Long-term stability needs something to rejuvenate, calm the mind, and balance Vata – not harsh detoxes.
Bipolar disorder is serious, and suddenly stopping psychiatric meds can be risky.
Ayurveda can: * Help you sleep better * Lower anxiety and steady mood swings * Boost memory and mental calm * Help you slowly cut back on meds
But: ❌ It should NOT replace psychiatric meds suddenly. Any reduction needs to be slow and guided by a doctor.
Your Current Ayurvedic Plan – My Thoughts Your current herbs are good choices, but: Taking too many calming herbs for a long time can: * Slow down your digestion * Make your mind feel dull * Too much Ashwagandha can sometimes make Vata-Pitta types more antsy.
So, the idea now is to fine-tune what you’re doing, not add more.
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT-
INTERNAL MEDICATION
1.Saraswatarishta – 15 ml twice a day after food (Helps stabilize mood, improves memory and speaking, and supports bipolar tendencies.)
2.Jatamansi churna – 1 Tsp at bedtime (Take with warm water or milk for deep sleep and less anxiety.).
3.Brahmi ghrita – ½ tsp in the morning on an empty stomach (Feeds your brain, reduces brain fatigue.)
Don’t take too many sedating syrups together for long periods.
External Treatments (Super Important for Vata types)
Daily Abhyanga (oil massage) before your bath Use Ksheerabala taila or Bala-Ashwagandha tail
Shiro Abhyanga (head massage) – 5–10 minutes daily. These are key for Vata individuals who struggle with sleep.
DIET AND LIFESTYLE
✅INCLUDE
✔️ Eat warm, freshly cooked, somewhat oily food ✔️ Rice, wheat, moong dal, ghee are good ✔️ Milk at night (if it doesn’t upset your stomach) ✔️ Small, frequent meals
❌AVOID
* Fast
* Eat dry, cold food
* Have too many raw salads
* Drink tea/coffee in the evening
Sleep Routine
* Go to bed at a set time * No screens after 8 pm * Oil your feet and scalp before sleep * Gentle chanting or slow breathing (Anulom-Vilom)
Memory & Brain Fatigue
Your brain fog sounds like a classic sign of low Majja dhatu. To help this, you need: * Regular oiling * Brahmi-based medicines * Nourishment, not stimulation.
❌ Don’t suddenly stop psychiatric meds. ❌ Don’t try a bunch of new herbs at once. ❌ Don’t do Panchakarma like Vamana/Virechana at your age and with your condition.
Your situation is manageable, not hopeless. The goal is to feel mentally stable, sleep well, and live with dignity, not to force yourself off meds.
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
Like you mentioned you are a vegetarian, a major cause could be lack of protein intake in your diet. Please start your protein intake in form of pulses, legumes, tofu, soya, and if required some supplements.
🧘♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.
❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.
❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks and energy drinks.
❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep.
✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.
✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.
✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.
✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.
