How to cure chronic stress, IBS and enlarged prostate. - #10060

Your issues are primarily due to aggravated Vata dosha, causing anxiety, stress, IBS, and disturbed sleep, along with Pitta imbalance, contributing to digestion issues and sensitivity to stress. Enlarged prostate indicates weakened Apana Vata and impaired digestive fire. Chikitsa (Treatment Plan): For Chronic Anxiety and Stress: Brahmi ghrita: Take 1 tsp with warm water or milk at bedtime. Practice Abhyanga (oil massage) daily with Mahanarayan oil or sesame oil to calm Vata. Perform Shirodhara therapy (if possible). Use Ashwagandha powder (1 tsp) with warm milk at night. For IBS and Weak Digestion: Take Triphala churna (1 tsp) with warm water before bedtime to regulate bowels. Consume Amlapitta Mishran syrup (2 tsp) twice a day for acid regulation. After meals, chew 1/4 tsp ajwain and a pinch of rock salt. Avoid cold and raw foods; eat freshly cooked, warm, and easy-to-digest meals. For Enlarged Prostate: Take Gokshuradi Guggulu (2 tablets) twice a day. Consume Punarnavadi Kashayam (15 ml) with warm water twice daily to reduce inflammation. Sit in warm water sitz baths with a pinch of turmeric and rock salt for relief. Sleep Improvement: Drink nutmeg milk (1/4 tsp nutmeg powder in warm milk) before sleeping. Burn calming incense like camphor or sandalwood at bedtime. Lifestyle Adjustments: Follow Vata-pacifying diet: Warm, oily, and easily digestible meals; avoid cold, dry, and overly spicy food. Incorporate Pranayama (Nadi Shodhana, Bhramari) and meditation to calm the mind. Avoid overstimulation (loud sounds, late-night activities). Dietary Changes: Morning: Add soaked almonds (5) to your lemon water. 8 AM: Replace oats with moong dal khichdi or daliya for better digestion. 1 PM: Add 1 tsp ghee to rice; avoid curd (replace with buttermilk). Evening: Prefer roasted makhana or moong dal chilla over heavy snacks. Night: Take khichdi with ghee instead of heavy rotis. Follow these remedies for 3 months, and consult a vaidya for regular monitoring. Balance of Vata will restore strength and improve overall well-being.
