Hello Venkat.

Disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur mind to get rid of them.

❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time… If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do)

🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.

❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.

❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.

❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive…

✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.

✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.

✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.

✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.

Mahapaishachika Ghrita, an Ayurvedic medicated ghee, is sometimes recommended for mental health issues including obsessive thoughts, but given your current medications and health conditions, there are several factors to consider before starting it. You are taking allopathic medicines like Serta and Clonazepam; these have specific actions on the neurotransmitters that could potentially interact with the ingredients in Mahapaishachika Ghrita.

The primary goal when managing OCD and negative thoughts is to achieve a balance between mental tranquility and physical well-being. The herbs in Mahapaishachika Ghrita, traditionally used to fortify the brain and stabilize thoughts, can be beneficial, but proceed cautiously because of possible interactions. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can collaborate with your current healthcare team. They can tailor the dosage and monitor for any unwanted effects.

Dietary adjustments can play a crucial role too. Favor warm and cooked foods such as soups and stews, avoiding excessively spicy or salty items that might exacerbate high blood pressure. Including soothing herbs such as Brahmi and Ashwagandha in your daily regimen can be helpful for calming the mind. You can have Brahmi in the form of tea and Ashwagandha as a supplement.

Regular routines like Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame or Brahmi oil in the morning can help calm Vata dosha, which often aggravates anxiety and overthinking. Engage in calming activities like meditation or deep breathing exercises, which are often highly effective for OCD. Avoid excessive screen time or overconsumption of information that might fuel negative thoughts.

Monitor your response to any Ayurvedic supplements closely. Keep an eye out for changes in your physical and mental health, and seek immediate medical attention if needed, especially given your history of moderate high BP and diabetes. Prioritize your safety and choose interventions that integrate well with your ongoing treatments.

It seems you’re seeking a Siddha-Ayurvedic approach to complement your current treatment for OCD and associated issues. First, balancing the mind and body through a comprehensive plan is critical, especially when dealing with conditions like OCD alongside BP and diabetes. In addressing these concerns from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, we prioritize establishing mental clarity while also supporting your overall health.

Mahapaishachika Ghrita is a classical Ayurvedic remedy reputed for mental health support, known for promoting cognitive balance and mental calmness. However, it’s imperative to use it judiciously, particularly alongside allopathic medications like Serta, Clonazepam, and Amitriptyline. Before incorporating it into your routine, a careful consultation with both your Ayurvedic practitioner and allopathic doctor is vital to ensure there are no interactions or contraindications.

From a practical standpoint, incorporating practices like regular Pranayama (breathing exercises) can support mental and emotional stability. Specific techniques such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can be effective in calming the mind. Daily practice for 10-15 minutes in the morning or before bedtime may aid in reducing negative thoughts.

Furthermore, dietary adjustments affect both mind and body. Avoid foods that aggravate the Vata dosha, which can intensify anxiety and restless thoughts. Focus on warm, grounding foods - cooked vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats such as ghee. Take meals at regular intervals to stabilize metabolic processes.

Lastly, integrating calming herbal teas like Brahmi and Ashwagandha can nurture mental health; they should be used under supervision considering your medical history. Remember, the holistic route works best when aligned with your lifestyle and under professional supervision. If symptoms persist or worsen, immediate contact with healthcare specialists is essential.
