❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts.. Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time.. If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do) 🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only. ❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions. ❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks. ❌ Reduce screen time.. No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume.. Let it be spiritual or positive... too much motivation can also cause depression. ✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep. ✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must. ✔️ Eat only home cooked food... Avoid outside food, packed and processed food. ✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones. 💊 Medication: 💊 Panchendriya Vardhan Tailam 2 drops in each nostril early in the morning empty stomach. Cap. Memorin(S.G.Phytopharma) 2 caps twice a day before food. Syp. Prasham 4 tsp at bed time with lukewarm water. Tab. Manasmitra Vatak 2 tabs at bed time.

Your situation with anxiety and reliance on alprazolam is understandable, but moving towards addressing it through Ayurveda could bring balance to your system. Ayurveda identifies anxiety as typically a vata imbalance— the energy that governs movement, space and communication in the body and mind. This imbalance can lead to feelings of unease, restlessness, and anxious thoughts. First, incorporating a daily routine, or dinacharya. Waking up early, around sunrise, helps to align with nature's cycles, grounding vata. Performing Abhyanga(ayurvedic self-massage) with warm sesame oil or almond oil before showering can calm the nervous system, which is especially restless when vata is high. Also, practicing deep breathing or pranayama, ideally in the morning, such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) aids in balancing the left and right brain hemispheres, soothing the mind. Your diet should be nourishing and warm, focusing on sweet, sour, and salty tastes which pacify vata. Use spices like cumin, coriander, ginger, and pure ghee while cooking to boost agni (digestive fire) and harmonize the system. Evening meals should be light and taken at least two hours before sleep for optimal digestion. Try consuming herbal teas made from Brahmi or Ashwagandha, renowned for supporting mental wellness. However, these herbs require regular consumption over time to manifest noticeable calming effects. Limiting digital consumption, particularly in evenings, is important—reduce screen time and opt for calming activities such as reading a book, meditating, or gentle yoga. Professional supervision is needed to taper prescription medications like alprazolam. Consult with a healthcare provider for managing withdrawal safely before transitioning completely to Ayurvedic remedies. This multidimensional approach aims not just to manage symptoms but address root imbalances to bring sustained peace. Be aware, though, that these changes can take time—patience and consistency is key.
