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 + Vata–Pitta aggravation + Ama (toxins) accumulation in Ayurveda. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ AYURVEDIC APPROACH
1. Detoxification (Ama Pachana) – clearing toxins to reduce inflammation.
2. Balancing Hormones & Nervous System – with Rasayana (rejuvenating) herbs.
3. Mind-Calming Support – to relieve anxiety, mood swings, and forgetfulness.
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
☑️FOR HORMONAL BALANCE
1 Shatavari kalp 1 tsp morning with warm milk – balances female hormones, reduces hot flashes, mood swings.
2 Ashokarishta 30ml-0-30ml after food – regulates cycles and improves uterine health.
3 Panchajeeraka rasyana 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water
☑️FOR BRAIN FOG, DEPRESSION
1 Brahmi cap 1-0-1 after food – sharpens memory, relieves brain fog.
2 Ashwagandharistha 30ml after lunch – reduces stress, stabilizes mood, nourishes nervous system.
✅ 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) – calms the nervous system.
Gentle yoga: Balasana, Setu Bandhasana, Supta Baddha Konasana – excellent for hormones.
⚠️ 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 health😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

4) TRIPHALA GHRITA= 10 ml at night with warm milk for 2 months =detoxifciation, improves digestion, removes ama, indirectly supports hormonal balance and inflammation

Based on your symptoms, an Ayurvedic perspective would likely point to an imbalance of the Vata and Pitta doshas.
Vata Imbalance: The mood swings, brain fog, confusion while communicating, forgetfulness, and depression are all classic signs of an aggravated Vata dosha. Vata, associated with air and ether, governs all movement in the body, including the nervous system and mental processes. When out of balance, it leads to a feeling of being ungrounded, scattered, and anxious.
Pitta Imbalance: Your mention of “high inflammation level” is a key indicator of aggravated Pitta. Pitta, associated with fire and water, governs metabolism and transformation. When it’s in excess, it can manifest as heat, anger, irritability, and inflammatory conditions throughout the body.
The combination of Vata and Pitta imbalance is like a “forest fire,” where the dry, erratic qualities of Vata fuel the hot, intense nature of Pitta, leading to burnout and a foggy mind.
The Ayurvedic Approach Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to address the root cause of the imbalance, not just the symptoms. A qualified Ayurvedic practitioner would create a personalized treatment plan that includes:
1. Diet (Aahar):
Vata and Pitta-Pacifying Diet: Focus on warm, cooked, nourishing, and grounding foods. Avoid dry, raw, cold, and highly processed foods, which can aggravate Vata. To pacify Pitta, avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods.
Foods to Favor:
Grains: Whole grains like cooked oats, quinoa, and rice.
Vegetables: Cooked root vegetables, leafy greens, and cooling vegetables like cucumber and sweet potatoes.
Fruits: Sweet fruits like apples, pears, and mangoes.
Fats: Ghee (clarified butter) is highly recommended for its nourishing and calming properties.
Spices: Use calming and anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric (with a pinch of black pepper for absorption), cumin, coriander, and fennel.
2. Lifestyle (Vihar):
Establish a Routine (Dinacharya): A consistent daily routine is fundamental for balancing Vata. Waking up and going to bed at the same time, eating meals at regular intervals, and having a structured day can help anchor your nervous system.
Manage Stress: Stress is a major contributor to both Vata and Pitta imbalances. Practices like meditation, gentle yoga (particularly calming poses), and Pranayama (breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana) can be very effective.
Mindful Practices: Engage in activities that calm your mind and senses, such as walking in nature, listening to calming music, or journaling.
Sleep: Prioritize getting 7-8 hours of quality sleep. A light dinner eaten a few hours before bedtime can help improve sleep quality.
Treatment 1) tab manasamrita rasa 1 tab after food 2 times
2) ashwagandharishta+sarasvatarishta-20 ml after food 2 times
Hello its due to sever Vata dosha vitiation… Kindly consult nearest panchakarma center & take Basti karma procedure if you treat the vata dosha then your complaints will reduce…
❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts…

ACC to your issues your symptoms are suggesting of tridosha imbalance along with weak digestive fire First once check your CBC b sugar thyroid profile And start on Brahmi vati -1 tab twice daily after food with lukewarm water Ashwagandha churna-1/2 tap with lukewarm water at night Giloyghan vati-1 tab twice daily after food with lukewarm water Shankapuspi syrup - 10 ml twice daily
hello Bhumi sharma ,
I hear you. Living with hormonal imbalance along with mood swings, dullness, brain fog, forgetfulness, and inflammation can make day-to-day life very heavy. These symptoms show that both your hormonal rhythm and nervous system balance are disturbed. Ayurveda sees this as a mix of dosha imbalance (mainly vata + pitta) and low ojas (body’s natural strength and clarity). Let me guide you in simple, practical steps.
Mood swings, depression, brain fog, forgetfulness → these point to your mind–body connection being weak, almost like the “wires are not sparking properly.” Inflammation means there’s hidden irritation inside your body, often made worse by wrong food, stress, and poor sleep.
Hormonal imbalance often worsens when digestion and lifestyle are not in rhythm.
1. First stage – Calm the mind and reduce inflammation (10–15 days)
Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals (improves memory, focus, reduces anxiety). Ashwagandha churna – ½ tsp with warm milk at night (balances hormones, reduces stress). Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water after lunch & dinner (for brain fog, dullness).
2. Next stage – Balance hormones & rebuild strength (from 2nd week onwards)
Shatavari churna – ½ tsp twice daily with lukewarm water (for female hormonal balance). Chyawanprash – 1 tsp in morning with warm water (strengthens immunity, improves ojas). Kalyanaka Ghrita – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (excellent for mood, depression, forgetfulness).
3. Food guidance (very important) Include: Warm, freshly cooked meals, green leafy vegetables, ghee, soaked almonds, dates, pumpkin seeds, fresh fruits (papaya, apple, pomegranate). Avoid: Junk, cold drinks, packaged food, excess tea/coffee, late-night eating. Drink warm water or herbal teas (ginger–tulsi, cumin–coriander–fennel water).
4. Lifestyle support Sleep on time (before 11 PM). Poor sleep worsens both mood and hormones. Daily morning sunlight exposure – balances hormones naturally. Light yoga & pranayama (alternate nostril breathing, bhramari humming) for 10 mins daily. Write down tasks to reduce forgetfulness and confusion.
Investigations to check
Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4). Vitamin D & B12. Fasting sugar, HbA1c. CRP/ESR (inflammation markers). Hormonal profile (if cycles are irregular).
You’re not alone in this. Many people with hormonal imbalances feel the same brain fog and mood changes but with steady Ayurveda medicines, proper food, and daily habits, your energy, clarity, and confidence will slowly return. Give your body 2–3 months, and you will see a real difference. Trust your healing capacity.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
Addressing hormonal imbalances and associated symptoms like mood swings, brain fog, and depression through Ayurveda requires a comprehensive approach to balance the doshas and particularly pacify the agni (digestive fire). The symptoms suggest an imbalance of Vata and possibly Pitta dosha, which can affect the mind and body harmony.
First consider your diet, which plays a crucial role in managing inflammation and hormonal balance. Incorporate grounding and cooling foods that pacify Vata and Pitta. Favor cooked warm meals, like stews with root vegetables—sweet potatoes, carrots, and such. Add spices like cumin, coriander, fennel which harmonize digestion.
Stay hydrated with herbal teas like ashwagandha or tulsi, known for calming the nervous system and helping with brain fog. Tulsi particularly aids in clearing the mind and elevating mood. These should be non-stimulant alternatives to caffeinated beverages, which can aggravate Vata and Pitta.
Regarding lifestyle, a regular routine is important. Try to wake up before sunrise and practice gentle yoga and pranayama like Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing, which balances the nervous system, enhances mental clarity, and reduces stress.
A daily self-abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame or almond oil can help soothe Vata. It’s best performed before a warm shower to allow your body to absorb the oil’s benefits. This helps in nurturing the skin and reducing anxiety.
Herbal supplements, like Brahmi or Shankhapushpi, can promote better memory and focus. These herbs support mental clarity and cognitive function, promoting balance in the neurological system. Dabur’s Brahmi syrup is an accessible option available online.
Always consult with a certified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal supplements, especially to ensure they don’t conflict with ongoing medical treatments or conditions. If symptoms might be severe or affecting your daily life, seek professional medical or mental health services without delay.
To address the hormonal imbalances and inflammation causing symptoms like mood swings and brain fog, let’s focus on balancing doshas and enhancing overall well-being. Your symptoms suggest an imbalance, likely involving vata and pitta doshas, along with possibly affected agni.
Firstly, working with diet is essential. Include warm, nourishing foods that are easy to digest, which can be particularly beneficial for harmonizing vata. Think of meals like kichari or lightly spiced soups. Include herbs such as ashwagandha or brahmi to support mental clarity and calmness—add them in the form of powders or capsules, after meals, twice daily. Incorporate turmeric and ginger tea as both possess anti-inflammatory properties.
Besides, consider undertaking abhyanga, a soothing oil massage using sesame oil, to calm the nervous system and reduce stress, ideally in the morning before a warm bath. Daily yoga and pranayama practices like nadi shodhana or alternate nostril breathing will also aid mental clarity and balance.
For improving brain health and memory, ensure adequate rest and regular sleeping patterns. Set a consistent sleep schedule and avoid screens before bed to enhance their quality.
It’s crucial to keep track of any serious or worsening symptoms. If severe symptoms like persistent depression or significant memory lapses continue, seeking advice from a healthcare professional is important to rule out underlying conditions needing immediate attention.
Integrating these strategies should help manage your symptoms by addressing the underlying doshic imbalances and inflammation, fostering a balanced state of health. Remember, gradual lifestyle changes often bring perceptible benefits over time.
