You can take Medha vati Ashwagandha capsule- One tablet after food with warm milk Saraswathi aristha-four tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily after food

Do pranayama and a regular meditation

Your symptoms of anxiety, overthinking, heart palpitations, mood swings, and sleep issues indicate an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and activity in the mind and body. These symptoms are common when Vata is out of balance, especially with your intense study schedule.

To begin with your diet, focus on warm, cooked, and nourishing foods which are comforting. Avoid caffeine and cold, raw foods as they aggravate Vata. Make sure you keep regular meal times and include more grounding foods like sweet potatoes, ghee, and whole grains. Incorporating spices like cumin, ginger and turmeric can also help balance the digestive system and soothe Vata.

For sleep issues, establish a calming nightly routine. Try to go to bed around the same time each night, somewhere around 10 PM if possible. Before sleeping, consider warm oil self-massage (Abhyanga), using sesame oil, which has a calming deep effect on the nervous system. This can help settle Vata and improve your sleep.

Breathwork practices, like Nadi Shodhana, a form of alternate nostril breathing, are beneficial in calming the mind and reducing anxiety levels. Practice this daily for at least 10-15 minutes, especially before bed or study sessions. Meditation too can be incorporated to further steady your mental pace.

Considering your study requirements, Ashwagandha was a good choice, it’s great for reducing stress and supporting brain function. However, look to add Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) as well, known for enhancing memory and concentration without sedation. Brahmi can be consumed as a powder mixed in warm milk or as a tea brewed from leaves.

Continued use of Saraswatarishta is advisable as it supports mental clarity, but it needs consistent use over a longer period to truly manifest its benefits. Try this for a minimum of three months, ensuring regular consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor the dosage.

Remember to incorporate physical activity into your routine, such as gentle yoga or walking which aids in managing anxiety and grounding Vata. Make sure to consult with an Ayurvedic physician before making any significant changes, especially as you’re juggling a heavy study load.
