Hello Dibya,
Your symptoms suggest Vata imbalance affecting the nervous system and cognitive functions. Did you experience high fever, brain fog, or weakness after COVID and dengue? Ayurveda focuses on nourishing the brain and calming the nervous system. A diet rich in Almonds, Walnuts, and Cow’s Ghee can support brain health. Avoid caffeine, processed foods, and overstimulation. Shirodhara therapy (medicated oil poured over the forehead) and Nasya (herbal nasal drops) may help improve cognitive function. Meditation and deep breathing can also calm the mind. However, Ayurvedic medicines should only be prescribed after a careful physical examination by a qualified practitioner. Let me know if you also experience sleep disturbances or mood swings.

Have you undergone any imaging or cognitive testing to assess the level of impairment? Additionally, are you on any medications for dementia, anxiety, or mental health management? How is your daily routine, diet, and sleep quality? This information would help guide a more accurate approach.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, dementia and cognitive decline are often related to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs the nervous system and mental faculties. Vata imbalances can lead to memory issues, anxiety, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Ayurveda aims to balance Vata, nourish the brain, and enhance cognitive function.
For mental clarity and memory, Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri) is a well-known herb used in Ayurveda to improve brain function, memory, and reduce stress. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that helps reduce anxiety, improve energy, and support cognitive function. Shankhapushpi is another powerful herb that enhances memory and calms the mind. Turmeric with black pepper helps reduce inflammation in the brain, while also supporting general health.
In addition, Triphala can support detoxification and rejuvenate the body, including the nervous system. Jatamansi is another herb that calms the mind, reduces anxiety, and enhances memory retention.
A Vata-pacifying diet, which includes warm, nourishing foods like soups, stews, whole grains, and root vegetables, can help strengthen the nervous system. Coconut, almonds, and ghee are particularly beneficial for brain health. Avoiding excessive stimulants, processed foods, and cold, dry foods can help reduce Vata imbalances.
Regular meditation, yoga, and deep breathing exercises (Pranayama) can be helpful in calming the mind and reducing anxiety, while also enhancing mental clarity.
