Nervous System Weakness & Ayurvedic Medicines - #31288

hello garvit ,

From what you’re describing, it sounds like your nerves are getting tired easily and not able to recover well. That’s why you feel exhausted more in the evenings, restless at night, and your mind feels heavy with anxiety, headache, and slow thinking. It’s not paralysis or nerve damage, but more like your “nervous system battery” is drained. Ayurveda has safe medicines that can strengthen your mind and nerves, improve your sleep, and calm down that inner restlessness.

Before we decide the exact medicines, I need to know in your words: How are your bowels – any constipation, loose stools, or normal? How is your urination – burning, frequency, or normal? How is your sleep – falling asleep, waking up often, or not deep enough? How is your hunger and digestion – appetite low/high, acidity, gas, or bloating?

if everything is normal then you can start these medications if not please do mention , so we can alter the medications accordingly .

Treatment plan 1. First step – Ama Pachana (clearing toxins if digestion is weak)

If you feel heaviness, gas, bloating, or indigestion,

Amapachana Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after food with warm water for 5 days.

2. Internal medicines (to be started after 4–5 days, for 1 month initially) Brahmi Vati (with gold, if available) – 1 tablet twice daily after food with milk. Ashwagandha Churna – 3 g (half teaspoon) with warm milk at night. Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily after meals.

(These medicines are supported by clinical evidence for anxiety, fatigue, and sleep improvement

3. External support (calming and nerve-strengthening) Shiro Abhyanga (oil massage on scalp with Ksheerabala taila or Brahmi taila) at night before sleep. Padabhyanga (foot massage with sesame oil) daily before bed for deeper sleep.

4. Investigations (to rule out hidden causes): Hemoglobin, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D levels Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4) Fasting blood sugar

With these steps, your nervous system can be gently strengthened, your sleep will improve, and anxiety will reduce.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Based on your symptoms, which include tiredness, broken sleep, anxiety, headaches, dizziness, and slow thinking, it is understandable that you are looking for ways to strengthen your nervous system. Ayurvedic medicine offers several remedies that are often used to address these types of concerns.

​Brahmi Vati and Ashwagandha ​Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) are two of the most well-known and respected adaptogenic herbs in Ayurveda. They are frequently used together to help the body manage stress and support nervous system health.
​Ashwagandha: This herb is a powerful adaptogen that helps the body cope with stress by potentially reducing cortisol levels. It is commonly used to combat physical and mental fatigue, improve sleep quality, and reduce anxiety and irritability.
​Brahmi: Often called a “brain tonic,” Brahmi is known for its ability to enhance cognitive function, improve memory, and calm the mind. It helps to reduce restlessness and promote a sense of calmness, which can be beneficial for anxiety and sleep.
​Combining these two herbs is a common practice in Ayurveda to provide a synergistic effect—Ashwagandha helps with stress and energy, while Brahmi supports mental clarity and calmness.

​Safety and Consultation ​While Brahmi and Ashwagandha are generally considered safe for most people when taken for a limited period, it is crucial to approach any herbal treatment with caution. Here’s what you should consider: ​

​Quality of Products: Ensure you are using high-quality, reputable brands for your Ayurvedic medicines to avoid contamination and ensure efficacy.

​Potential Side Effects: While rare, some people may experience side effects. For example, large doses of Ashwagandha might cause stomach upset, and it should be avoided by pregnant women and those with certain autoimmune or thyroid conditions. Your practitioner can guide you on potential contraindications.
​Other Ayurvedic Approaches ​Ayurveda is a holistic system, and addressing your symptoms may involve more than just taking a couple of herbs.

​Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet and a healthy daily routine (Dinacharya). Recommendations might include:
​Eating warm, nourishing foods and avoiding cold or raw meals. ​Minimizing stimulants like caffeine and processed foods.
​Practicing gentle yoga and meditation to calm the nervous system.
​Getting to bed and waking up at consistent times to regulate your body’s rhythm

For the symptoms you’re experiencing—tiredness, headaches, anxiety, and more—Ayurveda often looks to balance doshas and support the nervous system with specific herbs and lifestyle adjustments. Brahmi Vati and Ashwagandha are both widely used in Ayurveda for promoting mental clarity, reducing stress, and supporting nervous system health, and they can be a start.

Brahmi, known for its cognitive benefits, can help enhance concentration and calm the mind. A standard dosage might be 250 mg to 500 mg of Brahmi Vati, taken twice a day with lukewarm water after meals. This timing aids in its absorption and action on the nervous system. Ashwagandha, on the other hand, is an adaptogen that helps the body manage stress. A common dosage of Ashwagandha root powder is 3-5 grams per day, preferably with warm milk in the evening, which might also help improve sleep quality.

Additionally, consider the use of Jatamansi and Shankhapushpi. Jatamansi is helpful for calming the mind and improving sleep, with Shankhapushpi supporting mental function and reducing anxiety. Incorporating small doses, approximately 1-3 grams of Jatamansi powder or Shankhapushpi syrup, before bed, might support your current regimen.

Also, dietary adjustments can enhance treatment outcomes. Prioritize easy-to-digest foods, warm and freshly cooked meals, which aid in balancing Vata dosha. Reduce or avoid caffeine, which can exacerbate anxiety and disrupt sleep.

For lifestyle, try introducing regular practices like yoga and meditation—these help reset the mind and body and can be incorporated into your morning or evening routine.

Regarding regular guidance or follow up, it’s best to work with a local practitioner who can regularly assess your condition and adjust treatments as needed. Remember, while these guidelines can support nervous system health, if symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional to rule out underlying conditions that might require additional intervention.

Medha vati Ashwagandha capsule- 1 tab twice daily after food with warm milk Kalyanaka gritha- 1 tsp with warm milk at night Saraswathi aristha-4 tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily after food Anu taila- 1 drop each nostril once daily Do pranayama meditation regularly

Based upon your symptoms it seems that you have vat pitta imbalance Shankapushpi tab 1-0-1 Jatamamsi tab 1-0-1 Ashwagandha churna -0-0-1/2 tsp with warm milk Sleep b4 10 pm Avoid exc scree time Pranayama and meditation will be beneficial

Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in the Vata dosha, often linked to issues with nervous system function. Both Brahmi Vati and Ashwagandha are indeed well-regarded for supporting mental and nervous system health. Brahmi is known for its role in improving cognitive functions, reducing anxiety, and promoting tranquility, while Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that helps manage stress and boosts vitality.

It’s crucial to ensure that the/herbs you’re considering are sourced from reputable providers to avoid any risks due to impurities. The general recommendation is to take these medicines under the supervision of a qualified Ayurveda practitioner, especially as you’ve experienced these symptoms for a prolonged period. Typically, Brahmi Vati can be taken in a standard dose after meals twice daily, and Ashwagandha can be consumed alongside milk to enhance its absorption and effects.

In addition, you might consider other preparations like Saraswatarishta, which is traditionally used for improving memory and alleviating stress. Including grounding and warming foods in your diet, like cooked root vegetables, ghee, and warming spices such as ginger, can help stabilize Vata. Consider implementing regular routines that soothe Vata, such as Abhyanga (self-massage with warm oil) and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule.

If symptoms persist or intensify, it would be wise to get evaluated for any other underlying conditions that may need immediate medical attention. Handling nervous fatigue and irritability might need more comprehensive lifestyle changes and possibly consultation with an integrated healthcare provider. Unfortunately, I can’t personally provide ongoing guidance or follow-up, but you should seek a local Ayurvedic specialist for personalized, regular advice.
