If you are taking high BP medication and struggling with sleep, Ayurveda recommends addressing the root cause of sleeplessness rather than relying solely on supplements. Melatonin is commonly used but might not be ideal for everyone, especially if underlying stress or Vata imbalance is causing insomnia. Here’s what you can do.
1. Herbal Supplements for Sleep
Take Ashwagandha powder (1 teaspoon) with warm milk at bedtime. It calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and supports better sleep.
Use Brahmi capsules (500 mg once daily) or Brahmi syrup to relax the mind and promote restful sleep.
2. Evening Routine
Avoid caffeine and heavy meals 3–4 hours before bedtime. Opt for light, warm, and easily digestible foods.
Drink a glass of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or turmeric to soothe the mind and body.
3. Relaxation Techniques
Practice Abhyanga (self-oil massage) with warm sesame oil before a bath or shower in the evening. This helps balance Vata and promotes relaxation.
Do 10 minutes of Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) to calm the mind and prepare the body for sleep.
4. Melatonin Use
Melatonin can be helpful in short-term use, especially for shifting sleep cycles or jet lag, but it is not always a long-term solution. If you decide to try it, consult your doctor to ensure it doesn’t interfere with your high BP medication.
5. Lifestyle Adjustments
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
Create a calming bedtime environment—dim the lights, minimize screen time an hour before bed, and use relaxing essential oils like lavender or chamomile.
6. Monitor Stress and Blood Pressure
High BP and stress are often linked. Monitor your BP regularly and consult your physician to ensure your sleep issues are not related to medication or uncontrolled hypertension.
Consistency with these steps should improve sleep quality naturally within a few weeks. Consult your doctor or an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice.
