Ayurveda doesn’t have a 1:1 match for Clonazepam’s quick action, but herbs like Tagara and Jatamansi can kick in fast for acute calm by soothing the nervous system without the heavy sedation. We’ll layer in daily support for long-term balance (Vata-Pitta for anxiety). Start with- 1. Tagara Tablets : 1 tablet (250 mg) as needed for acute attacks (up to 2x/day); 2. Jatamansi Capsules : 1 capsule (250 mg) twice daily after meals 3. Saraswatarishta : 20 ml + equal water, twice daily after meals. 4. Ashwagandha Tablets : 1 tablet (500 mg) twice daily before meals
Diet Advice Include: Warm milk with nutmeg pinch at night, Brahmi tea (1 tsp leaves boiled), almonds (5-6 soaked), fresh fruits like pears/bananas. Avoid: Caffeine, spicy/oily foods, alcohol – they amp Vata and triggers. Hydration: 8 glasses warm water; sip chamomile or fennel tea 2x/day for gut-nerve calm.
Lifestyle advice Daily Routine: 10 mins pranayama (Anulom Vilom) morning; short walks in nature. For Attacks: Deep belly breathing (4-7-8 technique) + grounding (touch something cool). Go to Bed by 10 PM; avoid screens/social media pre-bed
Go for Panchakarma therapy which includes Shirodhara with Tila Tail for 10 days. In this continuous stream of oil is poured over the forehead for 40-45 minutes. It will help you in managing your symptoms.
