hello Fareed,
Aap jo bata rahe hain, usse lagta hai ki aapko chronic insomnia (नींद न आने की आदत) ho gaya hai. Jab hum lambi samay tak sirf dawa se hi so paate hain, to body uski aadat bana leti hai. Phir bina medicine, dimaag relax hi nahi hota. Yeh cycle todna thoda waqt leta hai, lekin possible hai. Aapka stress ya overthinking bhi is problem ko badha sakta hai. Iske liye Ayurvedic medicines ke saath saath dincharya aur relaxation bhi zaruri hai.
Treatment Plan:
Ama Pachana (First 3 days)
Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with warm water after dinner
Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime
From Day 4 onwards (Main Medicines)
3. Manasmitra Vatakam – 1 tablet at night with warm milk
4. Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime
5. Brahmi Ghrit – ½ tsp in the morning empty stomach
6. Tagara Tablet – 1 tablet at bedtime
Follow this for at least 6 weeks. Slowly reduce dependency on sleeping pills under your doctor’s guidance. Try light evening walks, avoid screens 1 hour before bed, and take dinner early.
Warm regards,
Dr. Karthika

aapko kahne se it seems to be chronic insomnia. dawaai ke binaa sleep nahi aata kai is ka matlab your insomnia converts into medicine dependent.
We can focus on your sleep cycle.
Fix you sleep time and go to bed at that time and turn off the screen at least 1 hour before bed.
If you don't fall asleep after 20-30 minutes, you can read some books and keep trying fall asleep.
Avoid tea/coffee at evening and night.
Use your bed only for sleep.
1. Ksheerabala tailam for regular head massage.
2. Put the above tailam as talam over your head at evening time for 30 minutes and wipe off with a towel and pour kachooradi choornam.
If above things doesn't work, took manasamitram gulika 1 at night for 2 weeks.
Stay calm

Hello,
1. As you are saying the issue is since a year, which means there is a reason for it to start. So please think about that and see how to get out of that reason.
2. Please do have a sleep routine by going to a bed in particular time and waking up at a fixed time, irrespective of the sleep.
3. Have a regular exercise routine. Learn Yogasana and pranayama form a good teacher and start practicing consistently-daily immediately.
4. Have early dinner which is easy to digest preferably vegetarian.
5. Avoid coffee/tea after 4PM in the evening.
6. Please see to it that you do not become dependent on any sleep medicines; they need to be taken for very short period till you adopt the above said practices in your life.
Along with the above, taking the following for 30 days will help:
1. Manomitram 1---0----1 after food.
2. Valiya chandanadi thailam need to be applied to the head.
Take care,
Kind regards.

Hlw Fareed Ji,
Aapki neend ki dikkat kaafi serious lag rahi hai, aur aapne kaafi samay tak medicine bhi li hai. Aap keh rahe hain ki bina dawai ke neend nahi aati, aur ab phir se wahi problem shuru ho gayi hai. Iska matlab hai ki aapka body ne neend ki dawai par depend karna shuru kar diya hai.
Chaliye hum ek step-by-step solution dekhte hain, jisme Ayurvedic tareeke, lifestyle changes, aur thoda patience zaroori hoga.
Ayurvedic Remedies for Insomnia (अनिद्रा)
1. Ashwagandha Churna / Capsule
Kaise lein: Raat ko sone se 1 ghanta pehle 1 chammach garam doodh ke saath.
Kaam karta hai: Stress aur anxiety ko kam karta hai, jo neend me badha dalte hain.
2. Brahmi / Shankhpushpi Syrup
Kaise lein: 1-2 chammach raat ko pani ya doodh ke saath.
Faayda: Dimaag ko shaant karta hai, overthinking kam karta hai.

Faayda: Mind relax hota hai, breathing achhi hoti hai, neend aati hai.
Lifestyle & Sleep Hygiene Tips (Bina Dawai ke Neend lane ke liye)

Har din ek hi samay par sone jaayein—even weekend par bhi. Body ko routine chahiye.

Soft music / meditation (YouTube pe “Yoga Nidra” search karein)

Roz 30 minute walk ya yoga kijiye—lekin raat ke waqt vigorous exercise na karein.

Zyada TV/phone raat ko
Din me 2 baje ke baad power nap
Thank you!
