you should visit a nearby Panchakarma center for Shirodhara therapy. If that is not possible, you can take:
Stresscom tablets – 2 tablets, 0-2-0 (after meals).
Ksheerbala Tail – for Shiroabhyanga (head massage).

Your struggle with insomnia, especially with a history of using medications like Depran and Gabapint, is quite understandable. In Ayurveda, sleep disturbances are often associated with an imbalance in the Vata dosha. Here are some insights and recommendations to support your transition to a more balanced sleep pattern.
First, focusing on your evening routine can be quite beneficial. Consider establishing a calming ritual before bedtime. This could include activities like reading a book, listening to gentle music, or practicing meditation. It's best to avoid screens and intense mental activity at least an hour before bed.
Diet plays a crucial role too. Aim for warm, nourishing meals, especially dinner. Foods that are sweet, sour, and add a little salty like sweet potatoes, rice, or cooked grains might help balance Vata. Drinking a cup of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or a teaspoon of ashwagandha powder before bed can also aid in promoting restful sleep, as these are traditional remedies for calming the mind and inducing sleep.
Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular physical activity during the day, but not close to bedtime, can enhance sleep quality. Gentle yoga or a short walk during the day can be helpful too.
Herbs like Brahmi and Jatamansi could be considered helpful due to their calming properties. You might also think about applying warm sesame oil to your feet or head before sleep. This practice, known as Padabhyanga, is renowned in Ayurveda for promoting relaxation and grounding Vata dosha.
However, given your current use of medications, it's essential to proceed caution. Communicate with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication or starting new supplements. They might need to adjust dosages or provide additional guidance when integrating these Ayurvedic practices. Making small, gradual adjustments and observing how your body responds will allow a smoother transition.
Keep in mind, the key is to align your lifestyle with your natural circadian rhythm. Your efforts will not only help with insomnia but will also contribute positively to your overall well-being.
