Hello Shobha, I can understand your concern of — difficulty sleeping, high cholesterol, mild rise in A1C (5.8), and stress. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

In Ayurveda, this occurs when mental strain, irregular sleep, and overthinking disturb the nervous system (Vata), while excess metabolism or heated emotions (Pitta) affect digestion, heart, and hormones.

Long-term use of modern medicines like statins may also deplete Ojas (vital energy), causing weakness, bloating, or frequent urination.

✅FOR BETTER SLEEP

1. Brahmi Vati –1 tab at bedtime ( Calms nerves, improves memory, and induces deep, peaceful sleep.)

2. Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk before bed. ( Rejuvenates mind, relieves fatigue, and balances cortisol levels.)

3. Tagara – 250 mg capsule at bedtime. ( Works as a gentle natural sedative.)

👉Shiro Abhyanga (Head Massage): Use Ksheerabala Taila warm; massage scalp, forehead, and feet before bed. (Pacifies Vata, improves blood circulation, and calms the mind.)

👉 Bedtime drink: Warm milk + pinch of nutmeg (jaiphal) + 1 tsp ghee + ½ tsp Brahmi ghrita. ( A classic Rasayana for insomnia, fatigue, and anxiety.)

✅For Cholesterol & Blood Sugar Management

At this stage, metabolism (Agni) slows and fat tissue (Meda Dhatu) tends to accumulate. Ayurveda recommends improving digestion and clearing “Ama” (toxins).

1. Arjunarishta – 20 ml with equal water twice daily after food (Strengthens cardiac muscle, lowers LDL, and supports heart function.)

2. Lipomap 1-0-1 after food ( helps in cholesterol metabolism)

HOME REMEDIES 👉 Guduchi (Giloy) powder or fresh giloy stem you can use for preparing decoction ½ tsp twice daily with warm water. ( Reduces insulin resistance and strengthens immunity.)

👉 Fenugreek seeds (Methi) – Soak 1 tsp overnight; chew and drink the water in the morning. ( Helps control both sugar and cholesterol naturally)

👉Cinnamon & Turmeric Herbal Water: Boil ½ tsp cinnamon + pinch of turmeric + 1 litre water → sip warm through the day. ( Balances blood sugar and clears Kapha–Ama.)

✅DIET MODIFICATION

Start the day with lukewarm water + lemon + honey (if no acidity). Optional: Herbal tea of Tulsi + cinnamon + cardamom to awaken digestion. Oats porridge with cow’s milk, almonds, dates, and cardamom. Or vegetable poha / upma with ghee Fruit: papaya, guava, apple, or pomegranate. Herbal drink: Jeera-Dhaniya-Fennel decoction. Bedtime milk with nutmeg or Brahmi ghrita

❌Avoid

Fried or spicy food, refined flour, sweets, red meat, excess salt. Avoid coffee or strong tea. Avoid curd, sour pickles, or heavy desserts. Late-night meals and eating under stress.

✅Daily Lifestyle Routine (Dinacharya)

Morning (Brahma Muhurta – 5:30–6 AM): Wake up early, brush and scrape tongue to remove toxins. Drink a glass of warm water with lemon or 1 tsp triphala powder in lukewarm water (for gentle detox). 20 minutes of Anulom–Vilom, Bhramari, or Chandra Bhedi pranayama for calming mind.

Focus on a calm mind, light diet, gentle exercise, and regular sleep pattern.

Over 6–8 weeks, you will observe Improved sleep quality Reduced cholesterol and stable sugar levels

Wishing you a good health😊
