NAMASTE VASUDEV JI,
SEVERE ANXIETY AND PANIC- shivering, suffocating ,abnormal breathing
DEPRRESION- sleeping too much and fatigue
PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS- dizziness, spinning head, tiredness
These symptoms may stem from a combination of Vata and pitta imbalance in ayurveda, often aggravated by mental stress, poor digestion, irregular routine or emotional trauma.
TREATMENT PROTOCOL
1) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 3 months = reduces anxiety, strengthen nervous system, stabilises cortisol

DON’T WORRY VASUDEV Follow your doctor’s advice and visit nearby ayurvedic hospital for SHIRODHARA…
And include pranayam ,yoga,meditation in your daily routine. Follow up after 15 days…
Hi vasudev this is Dr Vinayak Be calm and composed and that work as best medicine not to take more worry about anything… Along with medicine SHIRODHARA is best treatment for your problem Rx- Manasamitra vati 1-0-1 after food Brahmi grita 1tsp early morning empty stomach Stress calm 1-0-1 after food Regular meditation and Pranayam is good for mind and body
Take manasmitra vatikam 1-1-1 after food with water Tablet Mentat -DS 1-0-1 after food with water Kamdudharas 1-0-1 after food with water Triphala tablet 0-0-2 at bedtime with water Do pranayam lom -vilom kapalbhatti bhastrika bhamri 5-10mins daily twice Learn Rajyoga meditation and practice daily Take nasya of Brahmi grith,- put 2 drops of Brahmi grith in both nostril once daily Light massage on scalp with Brahmi oil twice weekly keep overnight.
Saraswatharishtam contains sugar, which is generally a concern for individuals managing blood sugar levels. Your caution in considering Saraswatharishtam is valid, given your prediabetic status and fasting sugar level of 125. Instead of Saraswatharishtam, you might consider using a combination that does not worsen blood sugar levels. Brahmi Vati, which you mentioned, is a good choice, as it helps calm the mind and enhance cognitive function without raising blood sugar.
Considering your hot nature and gastric issues, keeping pitta and vata in balance is crucial. You might explore alternatives or additional support, like Ashwagandha, which is calming and nourishing, or Shankha Pushpi, known for its mind-soothing properties and support for digestive health.
For constipation, triphala can be very beneficial. Take one teaspoon of triphala powder with warm water before bed to help regulate bowel movements. Consuming warm, unctuous foods that balance Vata, such as ghee, cooked vegetables, and warm soups, may also be supportive for both digestion and anxiety management, given their grounding qualities.
Yoga and pranayama can be excellent tools for managing stress and anxiety. Practices such as Anulom Vilom, or alternate nostril breathing, might help balance the mind and reduce anxiety.
As always, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner who knows your case history well before making significant changes, especially when prediabetes and a sensitive digestive system are involved. This approach will, hopefully, support your journey towards feeling more centered and having stable energy levels and digestion.
