Dear Aasim,
Here is an easy to follow Ayurvedic Prescription for Digital Eye Strain and Sleep Issues
1. Internal Remedies:
Triphala: 1 tsp of Triphala powder with warm water or honey before bed (supports eye health and digestion).
Brahmi: 500 mg twice daily (calms the mind and improves concentration).
2. Topical Remedies for Eyes:
Triphala Eye Wash: Soak 1 tsp Triphala powder in water overnight, strain properly, and use as an eye wash in the morning.
Rose Water: Apply 2-3 drops of pure rose water to each eye before sleeping (soothes and cools the eyes).
3. Lifestyle Adjustments:
20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look 20 feet away to reduce eye strain.
Blue Light Filters: Use blue light filters or night mode on your mobile devices.
Limit Screen Time: Reduce mobile phone use, especially before bed.
4. Sleep Improvement:
Pranayama: Practice 10 minutes of Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) before bed.
Oil Massage: Apply warm sesame oil to the soles of your feet and gently massage before bed (promotes relaxation).
5. Diet:
Ghee: Consume 1 tsp of ghee daily to nourish the eyes.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water and consume foods rich in vitamin A (carrots, spinach, and sweet potatoes) for eye health.
This routine will help soothe your eyes and improve your sleep over time.

In the meantime, here are some Ayurvedic recommendations to help alleviate your symptoms and improve your overall eye health:
Herbal Formulations: Consider using Triphala, which is known for its benefits to eye health. You can take it as a powder mixed with warm water before bedtime. Additionally, Amla (Indian Gooseberry) in tablet or powder form can provide vital nutrients for your eyes.
Eye Drops: Use rose water or homemade eye drops made from Triphala (soaked in water and strained) to soothe dryness and irritation. You can apply these drops 2-3 times a day.
Warm Compresses: Applying warm compresses to your eyes can help relieve strain and discomfort. Soak a clean cloth in warm water, wring it out, and place it over your closed eyelids for a few minutes.
Dietary Adjustments: Incorporate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as flaxseeds and walnuts, as well as leafy greens and colorful fruits, to support eye health.
Lifestyle Changes: Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away. Ensure you are in well-lit environments and reduce screen brightness to minimize strain.
Panchakarma Therapies: Consider Shirodhara or Shirovasti, which involve the gentle pouring of warm herbal oil on the forehead and scalp, respectively, to relieve tension and improve mental clarity.
If your symptoms persist, it may be beneficial to consult an Ayurvedic physician for a more tailored treatment plan.

Ah, digital eye strain, it's becoming really common nowadays, isn't it? Our digital buddies like phones and tablets are a big part of life now but staring at screens all the time can really mess with our eyes and sleep.
First, important thing to remember is to take those little breaks. For every 20 minutes looking at a screen, try looking at something 20 feet away, for 20 seconds. It sounds a bit like a weird game but it's magic for your eyes. Think of it as a mini workout for your peepers.
Next, let's talk lighting. Using a screen in a dark room makes eyes work overtime. Try to have a soft light on nearby, helps with the strain. Also, consider adjusting the brightness, not too bright not too dim – your eyes will thank you!
Then there’s this: blue light from screens can stop you from feeling sleepy. You might wanna use a blue light filter app or, on your phone settings, switch on the blue light filter mode. Good for winding down before bedtime.
Now, Ayurveda time. Cooling your eyes can soothe them. Try splashing your eyes with cool water a few times a day. Or, use cotton pads soaked in rose water laying on your eyes, feels heavenly, really. And triphala, a mix of three fruits, is your eyes best friend in Ayurveda. You can even wash your eyelids with it after it’s well strained and possible.
About sleeping, avoid screens at least an hour before you plan to hit the sack. Read a book or listen to calming music instead. Chamomile tea or warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg can relax you too.
And hey, if your sleep or eyes don't improve, it's wise to chat to a doc or eye specialist. Better to catch things early, you know?
Hope you find these tips useful and your eyes and sleep thank you soon!
