Sir, How do we get relief from stress? I have been suffering from extreme stress for a long time. In my 40s now, it is affecting my sleep very badly. It has also led to my fatty liver condition. I am not an alcoholic, never was, never will be. Can you help me?

Addressing stress is crucial, especially as it begins to impact other aspects of health like sleep and liver condition. In Ayurveda, stress can often be linked to imbalances, especially in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system. Here are some tailored recommendations to help you:
Firstly, considering your age and symptoms, focus should be on calming Vata dosha. Incorporate a daily routine—it’s essential as Vata thrives on regularity. Try waking up and going to bed at the same time every day. Before sleeping, engage in a relaxing routine like a warm bath or gentle reading.
For diet, emphasize warm, nourishing foods that are soothing for Vata. Stews, soups made from root vegetables, and whole grains like rice can be helpful. Include healthy fats like ghee or olive oil; they are grounding. Avoid dry, cold, and raw foods which can aggravate Vata. Sip on warm ginger tea throughout day to aid digestion and support liver health.
Include specific herbs. Ashwagandha is known for its adaptogenic properties; it helps the body to manage stress. Take it as a powder (churna), about 1/2 teaspoon mixed with warm milk, preferably before bed. For liver support, consider Turmeric. It can be taken as a tea or supplement after meals, about 500mg to support detoxification.
Regular self-massage (abhyanga) with warm sesame oil can also be calming for your nerves. This enhances blood circulation and helps in releasing emotional toxins. Do it before your morning shower a few times a week.
Engaging in gentle exercises such as yoga or tai chi could also be beneficial. Such practices help in balancing Prana Vata, which is responsible for mental health. Mindfulness meditation, practiced for 10-15 minutes a day, can significantly reduce stress levels. Try being in nature often—it has a calming effect on the mind.
Since you mentioned sleep issues, it’s good to adopt a practice of Nasya, where a drop of warm Brahmi oil in each nostril can help calm your mind before sleep.
Though non-alcoholic, having a fatty liver requires constant check-ups and medical advice as well. Ensure you’re in touch with a healthcare provider for liver monitoring. For immediate stress relief, Ayurveda can support your journey, but evaluate any persisting stress with a healthcare professional. Altering lifestyle patterns in this way often show results gradually, but consistency is key to lasting change.
