Understanding the discomfort and distress you’re experiencing, let’s explore from an Ayurvedic perspective. It sounds like you’re dealing with Vata and Pitta imbalances, which can manifest anxiety and digestive issues all together. Let’s dive into a few areas to focus on:

Firstly, your diet is key to soothing this imbalance. Start with consuming warm, cooked foods that are easy on digestion – think of soups, stews, and khichdi. Avoid spicy, heavy, fried, overly sour or caffeinated items as these can intensify Pitta aggravation. Include cooling herbs like coriander, and mint while ginger tea can help with digestion but use it sparingly given your Pitta sensitivity.

Hydration is crucial – sip warm water throughout the day to support Agni (digestive fire) without overwhelming your stomach. Aim for small, frequent meals rather than large ones, respecting natural hunger cues.

Concerning your lifestyle, establish a routine balancing rest and activity. Yoga and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can be particularly beneficial. Bhramari Pranayama and alternate nostril breathing can calm your mind and reduce anxiety. Incorporate activities like walking in nature or gentle yoga for grounding.

To support mental tranquility, Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil can soothe the nervous system. Apply oil on the whole body, focusing on the head and feet, followed by a warm bath.

Meditation, even if just 5 minutes daily, can offer some peace and improve focus. Guided meditations are a good start if you find sitting in silence difficult.

For herbal support, consider Ashwagandha for stress reduction but consult a practitioner before starting, especially considering your existing symptoms. Sleep tea (made with chamomile or licorice) can assist with relaxing before bed ensuring sound sleep.

Keep a regular sleep schedule, allowing your body enough time to rest and heal naturally. If symptoms persist or worsen, its imperative to seek direct medical attention. Listen to your body, and try to create a rhythm that flows with it - understanding that healing can be a gentle journey.
