Hello Bhumi, I can understand your concern about your symptoms of mood swings, brain fog, dullness, depression, forgetfulness, and body inflammation point towards a combination of hormonal imbalance + VataâPitta aggravation + Ama (toxins) accumulation in Ayurveda. But dont worry we are here to help you outđ
â AYURVEDIC APPROACH
1. Detoxification (Ama Pachana) â clearing toxins to reduce inflammation.
2. Balancing Hormones & Nervous System â with Rasayana (rejuvenating) herbs.
3. Mind-Calming Support â to relieve anxiety, mood swings, and forgetfulness.
â AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
âď¸FOR HORMONAL BALANCE
1 Shatavari kalp 1 tsp morning with warm milk â balances female hormones, reduces hot flashes, mood swings.
2 Ashokarishta 30ml-0-30ml after food â regulates cycles and improves uterine health.
3 Panchajeeraka rasyana 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water
âď¸FOR BRAIN FOG, DEPRESSION
1 Brahmi cap 1-0-1 after food â sharpens memory, relieves brain fog.
2 Ashwagandharistha 30ml after lunch â reduces stress, stabilizes mood, nourishes nervous system.
â DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
Take warm, freshly cooked meals with ghee, turmeric, and cumin.
Avoid processed, packaged, and inflammatory foods (refined sugar, excess fried food).
Drink herbal teas of ginger, tulsi, and turmeric daily.
Ensure early bedtime (before 11 pm), as late nights worsen hormonal imbalance.
Practice Pranayama (Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari) â calms the nervous system.
Gentle yoga: Balasana, Setu Bandhasana, Supta Baddha Konasana â excellent for hormones.
â ď¸ IMPORTANT NOTE
Since you are experiencing confusion and forgetfulness, please also get thyroid profile, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and hormone levels checked, as deficiencies and thyroid disorders often mimic these symptoms.
The above approach when combined with a wholesome diet, regular detox, yoga, and pranayama, can bring long-term relief.
Wish you a good healthđ
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO BHUMI,
From what you described, your body is showing signs of -Hormonal imbalance= irregular mood swings, fatigue, brain fog. Hormones like thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, or progesterone could be out of balance, affecting mood, sleep , memory, and energy
-High inflammation= feeling of heaviness, dull ness, brain fog, possibly joint stiffness or low immunity . chronic inflammation affects almost every organ, including the brain, and can worsen hormonal issues
-Brain and mental symptoms= confusion, forgetfulness, slow thinking. In Ayurveda , this is seen as âManas dhatu (mind tissue) imbalanceâ caused by vata and pitta vitiation
In simple terms = your body and mind are out of balance, stress hormones are high, inflammation os high, and your natural energy flow is disturbed
TREATMENT GOALS -reducing inflammation= calming the overactive immune response in the body -balancing hormones= normalising thyroid, adrenal , and reproductive hormones -improving brain function= enhancing memory, focus, clarity, and reducing confusion -stabilizing mood and energy = reducing anxiety, irritability, and depression - detoxifying the body= removing accumulated toxins that worsen brain and hormonal issues
INTERNAL TREATMENT
1) BRAHMI GHRITA= 15ml with warm milk in morning for 3 months =enhances memory, concentration, reduces confusion, calms mind, supports hormonal balance indirectly
2) CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp twice daily morning and evening for 3 mnoths =general immunity, anti inflammatory , hormone support, mental clarity
3) ASHWAGANDHA + BRAHMI + SHANKHAPUSHPI COMBINATIO POWDER/CAPSULES= Ashwagandha 250mg, brahmi 125 mg, shankhapushpi 125 mg = 2 cap twice daily with warm water for 3 mnoths =strong stress reducer, improves brain function, stabilises mood, lowers cortisol
4) TRIPHALA GHRITA= 10 ml at night with warm milk for 2 months =detoxifciation, improves digestion, removes ama, indirectly supports hormonal balance and inflammation
EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) OIL MASSAGE= self oil massage with Almond oil + sesame oil =improves blood flow, calms nervous system, balances vata
2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of brahmi ghrita in each nostril daily morning =calms mind, reduces brain fog, depression etc
LIFESTYLE CHANGES -reduce stress -meditation, gentle walks -regular sleep schedule, ideally 10-11 pm to 6-7 am -avoid excess caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods -stay hydrated with warm water and herbal teas -avoid multitasking to reduce mental fatigue
YOGA ASANAS -sarvangasana= improves hormonal function -matsyasana= thyroid support -setu bandhasana= reduces fatigue -shavasana= reduce stress, mental dullness
PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= calms mind, balances nerves system -bhramari= reduces anxiety, improves focus -kapalbhati= energizes brain, reduces toxins
DIET -fresh fruits and vegetables - berries, leafy greens , carrots etc -whole grains- quinoa, oats, barley -nuts and seeds- almonds, walnuts, flax, chia -spices = turmeric, ginger, cinnamon -warm water, herbal teas
AVOID -fried, oily, processed foods -excess sugar and refined carbs -cold drinks or heavy foods -excess caffeine and alcohol
HOME REMEDIES -turmeric milk at night -ginger tea for inflammation -amla juice for antioxidants
-Your condition is treatable with a combination of herbal supplements, lifestyle, diet, yoga and detox therapies -improvement may take 2-3 mnoths with consistent efforts -focus on reducing inflammation, balancing hormones, and calming the mind
