From your symptoms, it appears that your Vāta and Pitta doṣas are disturbed — especially Prāṇa Vāta (which controls the mind, sleep, and heart rhythm) and Sādhaka Pitta (which governs emotional balance and clarity). When these become imbalanced due to stress, irregular food and sleep routines, excessive screen time, or weak digestion, the mind becomes restless, thoughts increase, and the heart feels overactive. This causes anxiety, palpitations, and sleeplessness.

Treatment Plan: Our goal is to calm the mind, balance Vāta-Pitta, strengthen the nerves, and bring back your natural sleep rhythm. You will be started on mild yet effective Ayurvedic medicines:

Saraswatarishta – 15–20 ml with equal water after food twice daily.

Manasmitra Vatakam – 1 tablet with warm milk at bedtime.

Ashwagandha churna or capsule – 1 tsp or 500 mg with warm milk.

Brahmi Vati (Gold) – 1 tablet with milk in the morning.

Jatamansi churna – ¼ tsp with honey at night

Since disturbed digestion often worsens anxiety and sleeplessness, an Anulomaka dravya (mild digestive regulator) will also be given.

Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp before dinner with warm water if acidity present.

Or Hingwashtak Churna – ½ tsp with the first bite of food

External Therapies: To relax the nervous system, you are advised to take:

Shirodhara with Brahmi Taila or dashmoola ksheer (30–40 min daily or alternate days)

Nasya therapy – 2 drops of Anu Taila or Ksheerabala Taila in each nostril every morning after mild head massage.

Padabhyanga (foot massage) every night with Ksheerabala Taila or Til Taila.

Lifestyle & Yoga: A stable daily routine is very important. Try to sleep by 10 pm and wake up early. Avoid screens and stimulants at least 30–45 minutes before bed. Incorporate gentle asanas like Sukhasana, Shashankasana, Viparita Karani, and Setu Bandhasana. These release tension from the body and soothe the mind. Practice Anuloma–Viloma and Bhramari Pranayama for 10 minutes both morning and evening to calm the mind and balance Prāṇa. Spend a few minutes in meditation or mantra chanting – “ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः” or “ॐ ". Listening to soft Sanskrit chanting or instrumental music in the evening also helps.

Diet & Routine: Your diet should be warm, fresh, and Sāttvika. Include ghee, milk, soaked almonds, dates, moong dal khichdi, and seasonal fruits. Avoid tea, coffee, cold drinks, spicy, and fried foods. Have dinner early (by 7:30 pm) and take a short walk afterward. Before bedtime, you can drink warm milk with a pinch of ashwagandha. Follow this with gentle foot massage and quiet sitting or prayer.

Follow-up & Progress: With this combined approach of internal medicines, therapies, and lifestyle correction, you should start experiencing calmness and better sleep within 10–15 days.

HELLO,

When you lie down to sleep but feel your heart racing, your mind restless, and an uneasy feeling in your chest - that’s a sign of imbalance between your body and mind.

Your nervous system is overactive, your thoughts are excessive, and your body isn’t able to relax.

In Ayurveda, this is mainly due to the vitiation of -Vata dosha= when aggravated it causes restlessness, anxiety, palpitations, and insomnia -Pitta dosha= when aggravated causes irritability, anger, heat sensation, and disturbed sleep

The mind also gets affected due to the dominance of Rajas (activity, overthinking) and Tamas (inertia, dullness) gunas- leading to mental disturbance, worry, and lack of peace.

COMMON AYURVEDIC CAUSES -irregular sleep habits, late nights -excessive use of mobile/computer before bed -skipping meals, irregular eating times -too much caffeine, alcohol, or spicy food -chronic worry, stress, fear -physical or emotional trauma -excessive fating or dieting increases vata -weakness after illness

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify aggravated vata and pitta doshas -calm the mind and nervous system -promote natural, deep, and restorative sleep -strengthen the heart and stabilize emotions -improve digestion and absorption - as poor digestion worsens vata -establish a peaceful lifestyle for long term stability
