Hey ma'am
You can take yashtimadu with warm water+ honey in morning if you feel its gastric.
Reasons may be other as well, Low Bp, gastritis, cervical spondylosis etc.
Giddiness is due to increased Vata + Pitta in the stomach, especially after long fasting (overnight)
You may also feel burping, bloating, or sour taste in mouth
➤ Remedies:
Remedy How to Use
Jeera + Ajwain + Saunf Tea Boil ½ tsp each in 2 cups water → reduce to 1 cup → sip warm on waking
Yashtimadhu (Licorice) YES — can be taken in the morning empty stomach OR at night before sleep. Best if there's acid reflux.
Triphala powder 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water – balances digestion & Vata
Hingwashtak churna 1–2 gm after meals with warm water – for bloating/gas
Warm water + ghee (1 tsp) Bedtime or morning – soothes gastric lining and supports Vata balance.
Lifestyle Tips
Do not get up suddenly from bed. Sit up slowly → then stand.
Use a thin pillow if you suspect cervical issue.
Get 7–8 hrs quality sleep — giddiness
worsens with poor rest.
*Don’t skip breakfast — eat within 30–60 min of waking.
*Hydrate with warm water in the morning, not cold.

Hello Thontadarya,
Thank you for your question. The giddiness you feel upon waking may be due to gastric imbalance, low blood pressure, or early signs of vertigo all common at this age when Vata and Pitta tend to increase.But dont worry we are here to help you out
**AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE**
1. Vata imbalance causes lightheadedness, bloating
2. Ama (toxins) accumulation lead to indigestion
3. Inner ear imbalance may lead to Bhrama (giddiness )(Vertigo)
4. Sudden BP drop or electrolyte imbalance upon waking
5. Mandagani ( low digestive power) this mat lead to disturbed sleep cycle
✅ ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTION
Q - Can I take Yashtimadhu (Licorice)?
Yes Yashtimadhu is a great Pitta balancing and supports gut health
For gastric giddiness, take ¼ tsp Yashtimadhu powder with honey or warm water, after breakfast, not at night.
**AYURVEDIC TREATMENT**
1 Sukumara Ghrita 1 tsp with warm water on empty stomach (Balances Vata, improves digestion)
2 Godanti Bhasma 1 pinch mix with honey once in morning (For head heaviness, vertigo)
3 Hingvashtaka Churna 1 tsp with buttermilk or warm. Water just before lunch Reduces gas and Vata in gut
4 takaristham 30 ml +30ml water after lunch for bloating
✅Diet Modification
✅ Favor:
Warm, well-cooked food with ghee
Jeera-ajwain water in the morning
Barley, rice, moong dal, bottle gourd
Dry ginger + cardamom tea post-meal
❌ Avoid:
Sleeping right after meals
Cold water or curd at night
Fried food, stale snacks, heavy dinner
Excess tea or coffee on empty stomach
✅ Home Remedies & Daily Routine
👉Wake up slowly sit on bed 1–2 mins before standing Prevents sudden drop in BP
👉Jeera + saunf water Morning Reduces bloating and Vata
👉Nasal drops (Anu taila) – 2 drops in each nostril Morning before bath Clears head channels (very helpful in vertigo)
👉Abhyanga (oil massage) – 3 times a week with sesame oil Morning before bath Balnces Vata, improves circulation
If:
Giddiness worsens when turning head or lying down
You feel ringing in ears or balance loss
You have blurred vision or fall risk
➡️Then ENT evaluation for Benign Positional Vertigo (BPV) is advised
☑️. But for most mild cases, Ayurveda + proper digestion + Vata management helps greatly.
Morning giddiness at age 65 is common and mostly reversible with digestive correction and balancing vata
Warm Regards
