Why I can’t sleep peacefully - #3825

In Ayurveda, insomnia and overthinking are often linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs the nervous system and mental activity. To restore balance and improve sleep, follow these Ayurvedic recommendations: Diet: Eat warm, light meals in the evening, avoiding stimulants like caffeine or spicy food. Include milk with a pinch of turmeric before bed for its calming effect. Herbs: Ashwagandha: A calming adaptogen that helps with stress and anxiety. Brahmi: Enhances mental clarity and calms the mind. Jatamansi: A herb known for its calming effect on the nervous system and promoting restful sleep. Lifestyle: Follow a regular bedtime routine with self-massage (Abhyanga) using sesame oil to soothe Vata. Practice pranayama (breathing exercises) like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) to calm the mind. Sleep environment: Make your bedroom a peaceful, cool space, free of distractions. Consider a consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatment. These changes can gradually help improve your sleep and calm your overactive mind.
