hello keshabhai jumma bhai Maheshwari,

You’re 58 and have been facing anxiety, depression, insomnia, and sexual weakness for 20 years, along with high BP and cholesterol. Long-standing psychiatric medications may help symptoms temporarily but do not always rebuild the nervous system or correct the root imbalance. According to Ayurveda, this condition reflects a chronic Vata imbalance, especially affecting the Manovaha Srotas (mind channels), Majja dhatu (nervous tissue), and Shukra dhatu (reproductive essence).

This leads to disturbed sleep, overthinking, nervous fatigue, and eventually impacts libido, performance, and mental resilience.

Internal Medicines (6–8 weeks):

Manasamitra Vatakam – 1 tablet at bedtime with warm milk Brahmi Ghritam – 1 tsp with warm water in the morning Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with milk at night Saraswatarishta – 20 ml + 20 ml water after lunch and dinner Makardhwaj Vati (Plain) – 1 tablet after breakfast (for stamina and mood) These will help improve mood, reduce anxiety, calm the mind, and improve both sleep and sexual vitality.

External Support:

Abhyanga (Oil massage) – Use Bala Taila or Ksheerabala Taila, warm and apply over whole body 3–4 times a week, especially on spine and feet Shirodhara therapy (if available) – 7 sittings with Brahmi Taila or Ksheerabala oil can calm the nervous system deeply

Diet & Lifestyle Tips:

Eat warm, freshly cooked, easy-to-digest meals Avoid cold food, raw salads, and stimulants like coffee Start the day with 1 tsp cow ghee + warm water Include almonds (soaked), dates, and ghee in diet Avoid excessive mobile/TV exposure before sleep Sleep by 10.30 PM – maintain strict routine Practice Bhramari pranayama and Yoga Nidra daily at night

Investigations: Vitamin B12 Vitamin D3 Serum Testosterone HbA1c (to check blood sugar status) Lipid profile TSH

With proper support, you can regain mental clarity, improve sleep, balance moods, and restore natural vitality. Vata disorders need gentle but regular attention Ayurvedic care is particularly effective in chronic emotional and nervous system issues.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO KESHABHAI JI,

You’re experiencing: -INSOMNIA= taking 3-4 hours to fall asleep -ANXIETY= worry, tension , racing thoughts -DEPPRESSION

These symptoms are not separate problems. They’re all connected and arise mainly from an imbalance in your vata dosha, which governs nervous system, thoughts, movement and sleep.

When vata becomes excessive, you feel -mentally overactive or restless -anxious and tense -unable to calm the mind or body -weak digestion -sleep becomes light, delayed or disturbed

WHY THIS HAPPENS? Imagine your mind like a lake. When the wind(vata) is strong, the water becomes wavy and disturbed.you can’t see clearly or rest. This is what’s happening in your mind and nervous system.

CAUSES OF INCREASED VATA IN MODERN LIFE- -irregular sleep and food times -too much phone/computer use, especially at night -excessive thinking, worrying, multitasking -skipping meals or eating dry, cold, spicy foods -lack of grounding activities like nature, rest and silence

GOAL OF TREATMENT -balance vata -calm the nervous system -restore natural sleep rhythm -improve digestion and mental clarity

INTERNALLY START WITH

1) MANAS MITRA VATAKAM -1 tab twice daily with meals after food for 6-8 weeks = a powerful nervine tonic. calms the mind, improves memory, reduces anxiety, and promotes restful sleep. balances vata and pitta in the brain. often used in cases off insomnia, mental stress and even epilepsy.

2) SARASWATARISHTA - 15 ml with equal water twice daily after meals for 3 months =improves memory, focus, and clarity of mind. reduces anxiety and support long-term mental stability

3) ASHWAGANDHARISHTA - 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food for 6-12 weeks =tonic for nerves , promotes energy and reduces stress-induced fatigue. supports sleep. balances vata.

4) KALYANAKA GHRITA -1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk for 6-8 weeks =enhances memory, intelligence, releievs insomnia, nourishes the nervous system.

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI - 1 tab twice daily after meals for 1 month =mild sedative effect, support calmness and reduce psychosomatic tension. helps with fatigue and sleep regulation

TOTAL DURATION -start with a minimum 6-8 weeks -continue saraswatarishta or kalyanaka ghrita longer for chronic anxiety, memory issues

TAPERING OFF once sleep stabilises -reduce kalayanaka ghrita to alternate days -continue saraswatarishta + healthy routine -maintain yoga and breathing exercises

A regular daily routine is medicine itself

6:00- 6:30 am= wake up, splash cool water on eyes 6:30-7:00 am= empty bowel- drink warm water to help 7:00- 7:30 am= light walk in fresh air and slow yoga 8:00 am= warm breakfast 12:30 pm= lunch (main meal of the day) 4:00 pm= herbal tea or light snack- no caffeine 6:30- 7:00 pm= light dinner 8:00 pm= relax- no phone/laptop after this 9:00 pm= warm bath or foot soak with rock salt 9:30 pm= deep breathing, then lie down to sleep

DIET :- Your food should be -warm, soft, well cooked -light, oily, grounding -mild in spices- not too pungent or cold -easy to digest

EAT MORE OF -ghee- 1 tsp daily with rice or roti -khichdi-rice+moong dal with ghee -milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night -stamed or sautéed vegetables -dates and soaked almonds -herbal teas- ginger, tulsi, chamomile- avoid caffeine

AVOID -cold foods or drinks -raw salads at night -leftover or packaged food -caffeine soft drinks -spicy chutney, pickles, fried foods

EAT YOUR MEALS AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY

YOGA AND MOVEMENT movement helps ground vata, but is must be gentle calming not intense.

MORNING YOGA- 30 MIN DAILY -tadasana- improves focus -vrikshasana- balances nervous system -setu band hasana- calms the mind -balasana-reduces anxiety -viparita karani- deep relaxation

PRANAYAM breathing calms your thoughts and resets the nervous system

DO THESE BEFORE SLEEP OR WHEN ANXIOUS -ANULOM VILOM= 5-7 mins, balances left and right brain, calms thoughts -BHRAMARI= 3-5 min, deeply calming for anxiety, promotes sleep -CHANDRA BHEDANA- 5 min, cools the mind and prepares for sleep

SIT COMFORTABLY. DO SLOWLY, SOFT BREATHING. DON’T STRAIN

NIGHT ROUTINE FOR BETTER SLEEP -warm bath or foot soak before bed -apply sesame or almond oil on soles of feet and temples on head -avoid phone or tv 1 hour before sleep -read something calming -keep the room dark and quite

TIPS FOR ANXIETY , DEPRESSION, INSOMNIA -practice mindfullness- stay with what you’re doing- avoid multitasking -avoid late night thinking or big decisions at night -talk to someone or journal your thoughts to empty the mind -take breaks from screens and noise

DON’T CHASE SLEEP. CALM YOUR MIND AND BODY- SLEEP WILL COME NATURALLY

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

For addressing issues of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and sexual problems from an Ayurvedic perspective, coupled with existing treatments, consider a holistic approach. Given your age, weight, and height, it’s important to focus on balancing Vata dosha, since imbalance here may contribute to such issues. Here’s what you can do:

Diet is crucial. Favor warm, cooked foods and avoid cold, raw, or dry foods that can aggravate Vata. Include ghee in your meals for its nourishing properties. Focus on grounding meals; rice, warm non-spicy vegetable soups, and stews are beneficial. Regularity in meals supports digestive health, which Ayurveda links with mental health.

For anxiety and stress reduction, Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can be effective. These herbs help calm the mind, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Brahmi is known for its anxiety-reducing properties. You may take it as a powder, one teaspoon with warm water or milk in the morning and evening.

Sleep can improve by establishing a routine. Aim to go to bed before 10 PM, as natural body rhythms are crucial. Applying warm sesame oil to the feet before sleep is a time-tested remedy. It soothes the nervous system, encourages sleep, and reduces insomnia signs.

Practicing mindfulness, meditation or yoga daily can be very beneficial. These practices cut down stress levels, improve focus, and can positively affect mood disorders. Try to allocate at least 20 minutes a day to simple meditative practices like focusing on breathing.

About sexual health, Mucuna Pruriens helps to support libido and combat depression and anxiety naturally. Consuming half teaspoon of the powder mixed with warm milk before bedtime might be beneficial.

Always discuss with your current healthcare provider before adding any new treatments, especially considering your ongoing psychiatric treatment and medication like Rousosun and BP management. Safety and a tailored approach are paramount. If any symptoms worsen or don’t improve, reevaluate with a healthcare professional.

Addressing anxiety, depression, insomnia, and sexual problems requires a holistic approach, considering your age and ongoing conditions. The foundational principles of Siddha-Ayurveda focus on balancing the doshas – in your case, likely a Vata and Pitta imbalance may be influencing these symptoms.

First, for anxiety and depression, incorporate Vata-pacifying foods like warm, cooked meals with grounding spices like cumin, and fennel. Regular Abhyanga (self-oil massage) with sesame oil can help soothe the nervous system. Incorporate Ashwagandha powder with warm milk at night, which helps stabilize mood and supports restful sleep.

Regarding insomnia, establishing a calming evening routine is crucial. Consider a decoction of Brahmi and Shankhapushpi leaves steeped in boiling water, consumed before bed to encourage relaxation and promote sleep. Avoid caffeine and stimulants late in the day.

To address sexual health, consider herbs like Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens) and Safed Musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) which are known to support vitality and help with libido. These should be taken in powdered form with warm milk daily.

It’s vital you consult with your healthcare provider regarding any new supplements, especially due to ongoing psychiatric treatment and medication. They can interact with prescribed medications. Regular practice of Pranayama can help in balancing overall mental health; prioritize techniques that calm the mind, like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing).

Monitor blood pressure and continue taking your prescribed medication for cholesterol as advised by your allopathic doctor. Both Siddha-Ayurveda and contemporary treatments can coexist, ensuring a comprehensive approach to wellbeing without discontinuing essential medication. If symptoms persist or deteriorate, seek immediate attention from a healthcare professional.

Dr. Ayush Bansal
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with 1 year of hands-on clinical experience, committed to providing effective and holistic healthcare solutions. I began my professional journey as a VOPD (Virtual Outpatient Department) doctor at Hiims Hospital under Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited, where I served for 6 months. During this time, I gained valuable experience in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning while managing a variety of acute and chronic health conditions through Ayurvedic principles. My role involved virtual consultations, customized treatment protocols, and continuous patient follow-ups, allowing me to sharpen my diagnostic and counseling skills in both preventive and curative aspects of Ayurveda. Following this, I worked as a Resident Doctor at Chauhan Ayurved and Panchkarma Hospital, Udaipur, where I further strengthened my clinical expertise. Here, I was actively involved in the management of patients undergoing traditional Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic detoxification procedures, and personalized treatment regimens. My responsibilities included in-depth patient consultations, planning and executing Panchakarma therapies, and collaborating closely with senior Ayurvedic consultants to ensure safe and effective patient care. This role enhanced my understanding of classical Ayurvedic therapies, lifestyle modifications, and integrative approaches tailored to individual patient needs. With experience in both OPD and Panchakarma settings, I approach each patient with empathy, attentiveness, and a commitment to delivering authentic Ayurvedic care. My goal is to help patients achieve long-term wellness through natural healing methods rooted in traditional Ayurvedic knowledge.

Dr. Khushboo
I am someone who kinda started out in both worlds—Ayurveda and allopathy—and that mix really shaped how I see health today. My clinical journey began with 6 months of hands-on allopathic exposure at District Hospital Sitapur. Honestly, that place was intense. Fast-paced, high patient flow, constant cases of chronic and acute illnesses coming through. That taught me a lot about how to see disease. Not just treat it, but like… notice the patterns, get better at real-time diagnosis, really listen to what the patient isn’t saying out loud sometimes. It gave me this sharper sense of clinical grounding which I think still stays with me. Then I moved more deeply into Ayurveda and spent another 6 months diving into clinical training focused on Panchakarma therapies. Stuff like Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara—learned those not just as a list of techniques, but how and when to use 'em, especially for detox and deep healing. Every case felt like a different puzzle. There wasn’t always one right answer, you know? And that’s where I found I loved adapting protocols based on what the person actually needed, not just what the textbook says. Alongside that, I got certified in Garbha Sanskar through structured training. That really pulled me closer to maternal health. Pregnancy support through Ayurveda isn’t just about herbs or massage, it’s like this entire way of guiding a mother-to-be toward nourishing the baby right from conception—emotionally, physically, all of it. That part stuck with me hard. My overall approach? It’s kinda fluid. I believe in balancing natural therapies and evidence-based thinking. Whether it's seasonal imbalance, hormonal issues, Panchakarma detox plans, or just guiding someone on long-term wellness—I like making people feel safe, heard, and actually understood. I’m not into rushing plans or masking symptoms. I’d rather work together with someone to build something sustainable that really suits their body and where they’re at. In a way, I’m still learning every day. But my focus stays the same—use Ayurvedic wisdom practically, compassionately, and in a way that just... makes sense in real life.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.
