HELLO RUSHIRAJ PANDYA,
Youâve always been a little more sensitive than others more aware, more affected, more emotional. Thatâs because your nature is Vata-dominant, which means your body and mind are wired to move fast, pick up everything around you, and think deeply. But when Vata goes out of balance, it brings restlessness, panic, overthinking, fear, dryness, and loss of control over your own body.This Vata imbalance doesnât just stay in the mind it affects the nervous system, your sleep, digestion, and energy too. You feel like you're not in control of your breath, body, or emotions. It can feel scary, but itâs your body's way of saying: âSlow me down. Hold me. Ground me.âAyurveda does this beautifully by giving the body a sense of warmth, safety, and rhythm. You donât need to fight your mind just calm your body and the mind will follow.
Treatment Plan
1. Internal Medicines
Saraswatarishta â 15 ml with equal water after food, twice daily
Ashwagandha capsules â 1 capsule twice daily after meals
Brahmi Vati (with gold if possible) â 1 tablet morning and night
Manasmitra Vatakam â 1 tablet at night with warm milk
Kalyanak Ghrit â 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water or milk
2. External Support
Daily abhyanga (self-massage) with Dhanwantaram Tailam or Ksheerabala Tailam
Warm bath after massage
Shirodhara therapy if possible (7 sittings)
Gentle walking or grounding music/chanting in the evenings
3. Diet & Lifestyle
Eat warm, oily, freshly cooked food
Add ghee to every meal
Avoid cold drinks, salads, raw foods, excess travel, loud environments
Sleep by 10 PM
No screen time at night
Stick to a fixed daily routine: same wake up, meal, and sleep time
If panic rises suddenly:
Âź tsp Jatamansi + Vacha powder with honey gives quick calmness
If you follow this even for 3â4 weeks with faith and rhythm, your system will slowly return to calm and steadiness your natural self. Donât force anything. Let your body heal gently.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me.
Take care, regards,
DR.Karthika

Anxiety and other disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur mind to get rid of them.
â 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)
đ§ââď¸ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.
â Donot get yourself into any addictions.
â Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.
â 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.
âď¸ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.
âď¸ 100 steps after both meals are must.
âď¸ Eat only home cooked food... Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.
âď¸ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.

Hello Rushiraj,
Your symptoms - anxiety, panic attack, fear, and overthinking especially in someone with a vata dominat prakriti like yourself
Understanding your symptoms in Ayurvedic view
ANXIETY, FEAR, PANIC= vata dosha imbalance in the mind and nervous system
OVERTHINKING, RESTLESSNESS= aggravated prana vata, a subdosha of vata
NO BODY CONTROL, SHAKINESS= vata causes erratic nerve impulses, weakness
COLD HANDS/ FEET, INSOMNIA= classic sign of vata excess
LONG STANDING FEAR SINCE CHILDHOOD= suggests a manasika dosha(mental constitution) that is rajasika, sensitive, and unstable under stress
Vata is dry,light,cold,mobile and irregular. When increased due to stress, irregular lifestyle, lack of sleep, improper diet , vata moves uncontrollably in the nervous system, creating
-chanchalatva(restlessness)
-bhrama(confusion)
-udvega(anxiety)
-bhaya(fear)
Hence ayurvedic treatment aims to ground,warm,nourish and stabilize vata
INTERNAL MEDICINE

FATS= Cow ghee, sesame oil and soaked nuts- nourishes brain and nerves

VEGETABLES= carrot , pumpkin, beet, sweet potato- warm and cooked balances vata
HERBS AND SPICES= cumin , coriander, fennel , turmeric, ginger- aids digestion reduces dryness

In Ayurveda, your high Vata constitution makes you more prone to anxiety and restlessness, as Vata dosha, when imbalanced, is responsible for such conditions. To address your anxiety and panic attacks, consider implementing these Ayurvedic strategies that focus on balancing Vata:
1. **Ashwagandha**, known for its calming properties, can be particularly beneficial. It is a powerful adaptogen that helps alleviate stress and anxiety. Taking 500 mg of Ashwagandha with warm milk before bed may ease your symptoms by promoting a sense of calm and increasing quality of sleep.
2. **Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri)** is another herb to consider. It helps enhance cognitive function while soothing nervous tension. You can take Brahmi in powder or capsule form. A daily dose of around 250-500 mg is advisable, taken with warm water or ghee.
3. **Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi)** is an excellent herb for reducing stress and anxiety. It has sedative properties and can be used in powder form, about 500 mg-1 gram per day with warm water, preferably at night to aid sleep.
4. Dietary changes can also support your treatment. Incorporate warm, nourishing, and slightly oily foods to calm Vata, like soups, stews, and root vegetables. Avoid cold, raw, or processed foods as they exacerbate Vata imbalance.
5. Maintain a regular routine. Having set meal and sleep times stabilizes Vata and fosters a calm mind. Engaging in calming practices such as yoga or Pranayama breathing exercises can be very helpful.
Please remember these recommendations serve as a potential aid in conjunction with professional guidance. Seek an Ayurvedic physician to tailor these suggestions further, ensuring they align with your specific balance of doshas and constitution type. If your symptoms become severe or unmanageable, prioritize seeking immediate medical attention to ensure safety and optimal care.
