Overwhelming fear,brain oxygen level,disinterest,numbness - #25586
First off I wanna thank the Ayurveda community for being so helpful to the world. 1. I am destroyed by my elder kins ( jija and bhai ) ,5 years ago they snatched my property and did physical abuse on me through their connections. I underwent physical and mental totrture for 2 years, but ever since I have become very coward, even a shout from a random guy will force me into submission, anybody can snatch my belongings, Ashwagandha rista was helpful though but not to the satisfaction.when I wake up I feel extremly angry and keep thinking of the hardest two years when I wasn't able to feed myself.i underwent allopathic psychiatry treatment for these but their treatment and bills never seem to cease. 2.whenever I experiance wet dreams I feel relaxation throughout the day and my emotions are back substantially or though very rare i Sit infront of shivling experiance the same relaxation. PS- kindly advise me the most strengthful medicines as many products lack the required strenghth

Light massage on scalp twice weekly with Brahmi oil keep overnight and wash in the morning. Rub both the soles of your feet with cowâs ghee using kansya vati at night. Follow up after 1 month

Madam this combination is powerful especially the brahmi ghrit Part and dashmoolarishta tastes awful
Follow up after 15 daysâŚ
Along with these medications include Meditation, pranayam, yoga in your daily routineâŚ
Dear Vashishta ji, Your words reflect deep pain that you ahve suffered in past but also a profound awareness of your own journey and healing potential, which is apowerful realiization and alsol start.It takes great courage to speak about trauma, abuse, emotional collapse, and your desire for real and natural recovery
â INTERNAL MEDICATION WHICH ARE POWERFUL ENOUGH 1 Vrihat Vata Chintamani Ras 125 mg with honey + ghee, once at night Strengthens mind & nervous tissue Very potent rasayana

HELLO VASHISHTA,
Thank you for courageously sharing your story. The kind of trauma and betrayal youâve experienced can leave deep scars- mentally, emotionally, and physically. itâs important that healing addresses all levels of your being- Manas(mind), sharira(body), and Atma(spirit).
AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS BASED ON SYMPTOMS
OVERWHEKMING FEAR= aggravated prana vata, disturbed manovaha srotas
NUMBNESS, EMOTIONAL FLATNESS= tamas domination + Ojas kshaya
PHYSICAL ABUSE AND TRAUMA= vata-pitta vitiation-> creates dryness, rage, instability
ANGER UPON WAKING= subtle pitta Dushti in sadhaka pitta(emotional fire)
RELIEF FROM WET DREAMS/ SHIVLING DARSHAN= indicative of apana vata + Ojas + spiritual alignment momentarily opening manovaha srotas.
This is not ordinary anxiety or depression. Its a post traumatic vata - pita - tamasic imbalance involving depletion of Ojas, memory, stability, and emotional resilience.
INTERNALLY START WITH
*MORNING(sattva restoration)
5-6 am= CHYAWANPRASHA = 1 tsp with lukewarm water
6 am= BRAHMI GHRITA= 1 tsp in warm milk
7 am= KALYANAK GHRITA(every alternate days)= 1 tsp with warm milk
*AFTER MEALS= SARASWATARISHTA= 15 ml with water =balances memory, speech , mood
CHOOSE AUTHENTIC BRANDS= ARYA VAIDYA SALA, AVP, VAIDYARATNAM, OR BAIDYANATH
*MIDDAY PROTOCOL(NADI AND MANAS SUPPORT)
2PM= SMRITI SAGAR RAS= 1 tab with water
3PM= JATAMANSI CAPSULE= 500mg for calming nerve and fear
*NIGHT PROTOCOL(VATA SHAMANA AND SLEEP REGULATION)
8PM= MANAS MITRA VATAKAM= 1 tab with warm milk
9PM= ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp in milk add pinch of nutmeg+cardamom
9:30PM= SHANKPUSHPI SYRUP= 1 tbsp aids deep sleep, mental clarity
SELF OIL MASSAGE WITH BALA ASHWAGANDHADI TAILA FOLLOWED BY HOT WATER BATH
DIET TO BE FOLLOWED FOR EMOTIONAL AND OJAS RECOVERY
-ghee + warm milk= restores Ojas, sleep - moong dal khichdi= easily digestible, vata pacifying -boiled root vegetables(beet, sweet potato)= grounding - soaked almonds , raisins, dates= build Ojas - ash gourd juice(early morning)= calms mind and nervous heat
AVOID STRICTLY -caffeine , fried food, cold foods -garlic/onion in excess= disturbs manas in trauma - late night meals - overthinking and isolation after 8 pm
SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALING you already found shivling Darshan soothing . that is a direct sign from your inner self.
JAPA OF âOM NAMAH SHIVAYâ= 108 times daily with rudraksha Mala =purifies deep karmic pain and shame
TRATAKA(candle gazing)= 5-10 min before sleep = removes tamas from mind
AGNIHOTRA= fire ritual at sunrise/sunset = deep vibrational cleansing
YOGA NIDRA = before bed =brings safety, body reconnection
READING FROM BHAGWAT GEETA OR SHIVA PURAN= 1-2 verses per day =emotional strengthen and clarity
LIFESTYLE SUPPORT -wake up with brahma muhurta - daily walking barefoot on ground grass - sleep before 10 pm
Vashishta, your experience was unjust- but your strength to speak now is divine. The path of Ayurveda + inner spiritual discipline will not only HEAL you but transform your inner power
This protocol is strong, if you begin it with sincerity and consistency- even 50% - youâll notice change within 30-40 days
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

BASTI(medicated enema)= 5-8 days = deep vata correction

THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
hello Vasishta, Thank you for your honesty and truly, Iâm so sorry that you had to go through all this. The kind of betrayal and trauma youâve faced, especially from those closest to you, can shake the very foundation of your self-worth, confidence, and mental resilience. And when emotional trauma isnât addressed deeply, it doesnât just live in your mind it settles in your nervous system, your Prana (life force), and your Manovaha Srotas (mental channels), as we describe in Ayurveda. What youâve explained the fear, sudden submission, suppressed anger, dependency on certain triggers for relaxation all show signs of Vata imbalance in the mind (Prana Vayu vitiation) and Ojas depletion (the core vitality).
Let me say this clearly: you are not broken. What youâre feeling is the nervous system trying to protect you itâs not weakness, itâs trauma held too long in your tissues. Ayurveda can absolutely help rebuild your mental strength, emotional courage, and clarity not with suppressants, but by grounding your Vata, rejuvenating your Ojas, and stabilizing Prana.
Also, that moment of relaxation you feel after wet dreams or while sitting before Shivling is not random itâs your Ajna Chakra and Apana-Prana balance temporarily restoring. Your mind finds stillness there. Weâll build on that to make it last longer.
Prescription (Strong Medhya + Ojas Restorative Protocol)
Ashwagandha Avaleha â 1 tsp with warm milk twice daily Saraswatarishta (with gold if affordable) â 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals Manasmitra Vatakam (Gold if affordable) â 1 tab at bedtime with milk Brahmi Ghrita â ½ tsp early morning on empty stomach with warm water
Nasya with Kshirabala Taila (101) â 2 drops in each nostril daily morning Abhyanga (self-massage) with Bala Ashwagandhadi oil before bath â 4x weekly
Sit in front of Shivling or Tulsi plant for 10 minutes daily after sunrise â donât rush this part; this is your healing anchor. Supportive practices Avoid cold food, skip raw salads or fridge water â this worsens mental Vata Include cowâs ghee, soaked almonds, dry dates, and warm milk with nutmeg daily Play Vishnu Sahasranamam or Rudram daily in background, even if you donât chant it Do not sleep late, even if you lie down without sleep â sleep timing resets trauma
Optional investigations (if not done recently) Serum Vitamin D3 and B12 Thyroid profile Serum testosterone (if libido or energy is low) Blood glucose and lipid profile (to check Ojas-supportive factors)
Youâve already survived the worst. Now itâs time to rebuild â not like before, but stronger, calmer, and clearer. Ayurveda wonât rush this, but with consistent use of strength-giving Rasayanas, you will absolutely regain your inner steadiness.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, Dr.Karthika.
Thank you for your kind words.Vitamin d3 and Hdl cholesterol ratio are low. LDL Ratio is high. Blood testerone is high by 400 score
Hi Vashishta , Thank you for updating me â that means youâre already taking charge of your healing, which itself shows your inner strength is rising again.
So based on your test results: ⢠Low Vitamin D3 and low HDL (good cholesterol): These are common in chronic stress, poor sleep, and irregular digestion. Theyâre signs that your Ojas (vitality) and Dhatu formation are not optimal yet â but they can definitely improve with the Rasayanas weâve started. ⢠High LDL (bad cholesterol): This reflects some Rasa-Rakta Dhatu Dushti and sluggish liver metabolism â it can be brought down by gently improving Agni and clearing Ama. ⢠Testosterone high by 400 score: This may sound surprising, but it often happens when the body is under emotional suppression or chronic survival mode â the body overdrives certain hormones to protect itself. Itâs not something to panic about unless symptomatic (like aggression, acne, or sleep issues). Weâll balance this by grounding Vata and cooling excess Pitta.
So overall, your current protocol is quite on track. But Iâll make a small addition and swap now:
⸝
Updated Prescription: 1. Ashwagandha Avaleha â continue 2. Saraswatarishta â continue 3. Manasmitra Vatakam â continue 4. Brahmi Ghrita â continue 5. Nasya + Abhyanga â continue
Now ADD: 6. Chandraprabha Vati â 1 tab twice daily after food (supports cholesterol metabolism, stabilises mood, strengthens kidneys) 7. Arjuna Ksheerapaka (or Arjuna Churna in milk) â 1 tsp boiled in 1 glass milk + 1 glass water till reduced to half. Take at bedtime. (helps regulate LDL, calms heart, supports sleep and Ojas) 8. Vitamin D3 supplement (Ayurvedic like Haridra-based D3 or as per allopathic dose) â once a week for 2 months.
⸝
Keep doing what youâre doing with faith and consistency. Nothing in your body is broken â itâs simply trying to reset after long years of holding pain inside. We are gently peeling away those layers.
If you ever feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even unsure â just write to me.
Thank you for the detailed response. I have been taking vitamin d supplement for three month so the condition is highly unlikely due vitamin d. And I forgot to mention some concerning things. 1.excessive sweating esp around forehead and eyes. 2. Pain in and around chest during stressful situations and involunatirly running away without even realizing. 3. Pain in veins around navel area. 4. Strange fear between 2 Am-3AM I usually stay awake till 3 probably due to high testerone. 5. Feeling of vomitting during meals Though irrelevant, when I mentioned dreams of being chased by snake met an astro-vaid who told me that migraine attacks and pain in lower abdemen during childhood are connected to these conditions, but wasnât relieved by his herbal remedies though
The experiences youâve described are affecting you deeply, and while itâs clear youâre seeking strength and resilience, Ayurveda can provide some pathways that may help you cope better, emotionally and physically. Given your experiences, Iâd recommend looking into a holistic approach that targets both mind and body, which will offer longer-lasting relief.
Grappling with such a traumatis art worth focused measures. Firstly, introduce Brahmi into your routine; itâs a potent herb recognized for enhancing cognitive function and combating stress. You can consume Brahmi powder with warm milk every night before bed. Itâs gentle yet incredibly effective in modulating stress and promoting mental clarity.
Ashwagandha churna can be continued; though you might try it in a different form â like a tincture or a capsule, sometimes they offer different bioavailability. Eveningâs a good time to take Ashwagandha, with warm milk, to bolster its calming effects.
Dietarily, nurturing your Agni (digestive fire) is pivotal. Incorporate ginger tea into your day, sip it about 20 minutes before meals to enhance digestion and warm the body, which can be soothing. Favor meals that are simple but nourishing, like kichari (a mix of rice and lentils) to sustain your energy without complicating digestion. Too spicy or heavy foods might overwhelm the system now.
Pranayama and Yoga practice can also provide mental peace. Consider deep breathing (nadi shodhan), it balances the energies in your body and clears mental clutters. Spending time in nature, if possible, can also offer tranquility and comfort.
While herbal remedies can bring relief, please ensure that youâre integrating these suggestions with ongoing professional psychological support, given the depth of your experiences. A mental health professional can support the healing alongside these Ayurvedic practices. Remember, healing doesnât always happen at a quick pace, so kindness to yourself will be an important companion on this path.
Thanks,Ginger tea before meals is doing its job .but I found brahmi ghrita and awagandharista to work better than powder. I have undergone prescription medicines for 6 months back then I wanted to save time. I fear combining these herbs with those drugs may cause serious side effects.
Take Medha vati Ashwagandha capsule- One tap twice daily after food with warm milk Saraswathi aristha- 4 tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily after food Do regular Pranayam meditation
