hello Sunita, Thank you for sharing about your mother’s condition. From your description, it seems she is in the post-menopausal phase with chronic hypertension, sleep disturbances, and symptoms of vata-pitta imbalance such as overthinking, fatigue, night sweats, constipation, and frequent urination. All these are interlinked, and with an Ayurvedic approach, her quality of life can be improved, and medications can often be reduced gradually under supervision. At this age, hormonal changes lead to vata and pitta going out of balance. This can result in hot flashes (pitta), disturbed sleep and anxiety (vata), and fatigue. Long-term use of medications for BP also slightly affects digestion and natural rhythms. If sleep is poor, digestion and bowel movements also get affected. Ayurveda believes if digestion (agni) is regulated and mind is calmed, most issues including BP can improve. Strengthen digestion (agni) Calm the nervous system Cool down pitta (heat) and regulate vata Improve deep sleep Support heart and kidney function naturally Treatment Plan Step 1: Ama Pachana (3–5 days) To clear out sluggish digestion and toxins that affect energy and sleep. Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with warm water before lunch and dinner Jeera-Dhaniya-Saunf Tea – Boil ½ tsp of each in 2 cups water, reduce to 1 cup, sip 2x/day Light food like moong dal soup, rice kanji, steamed veggies during this phase Avoid cold foods, curd, wheat, and sugar during this time Step 2: Internal Medicines (30 days at least) Sarpagandha Vati – 1 tab at night with water (for BP and calming mind) Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk at bedtime (for sleep, strength, stress) Punarnavadi Mandoor – 1 tab morning and evening after food (supports kidney and BP) Shatavari Gulam – 1 tsp at bedtime (balances hormones, reduces hot flashes) If constipation persists: Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at night as needed Lifestyle and Diet Tips Sleep by 10 PM – avoid screens 1 hour before sleep Oil massage – Warm sesame oil on feet, back, and scalp 3–4 times/week Food timing – Dinner by 7 PM, light and warm (like soup or khichdi) Avoid: Pickles, papad, tea/coffee at night, curd, and cold water Suggested Investigations (if not done recently): Serum Creatinine, Electrolytes HbA1c, Fasting Lipid Profile TSH, FSH (for menopausal status) ECG or Echo (if there are palpitations or chest heaviness) This integrative approach will not replace medicines immediately, but may help reduce dosage over 3–6 months with regular monitoring by her physician. The goal is to restore her natural sleep cycle, digestion, and energy step by step. Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
