Kutaj: Helps with diarrhea and improves digestion.
Brahmi: Reduces stress, which can be linked to IBS.

2. Insomnia:
Herbs:
Ashwagandha: Balances Vata and promotes restful sleep.
Jatamansi: Known for its calming and sleep-inducing effects.
Brahmi: Reduces anxiety and improves sleep quality.

3. Blood Pressure (on Atenolol):

Lifestyle Tips:

Dealing with both IBS and insomnia at the same time can be challenging, but Ayurveda has some insight that might help. For your IBS with diarrhea, focus on calming the aggravated Vata dosha and balancing the digestive fire, or Agni. Start by considering dietary changes: stick to warm, cooked meals and avoid raw, cold foods that might irritate your system. Opt for easy-to-digest items like rice, steamed veggies, and some soups. Small meals throughout the day can be easier on your stomach than fewer, larger meals. For you, sipping on warm ginger tea might be helpful after meals to support digestion. It's small, but avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fried foods can really make a differnce too.
Now for that stubborn insomnia, which can be super frustrating. The herb Ashwagandha is often used in Ayurveda to combat stress and promote restful sleep. You could try taking it as a supplement in the evening, but make sure you do this consistently to see the best results. Also, simple bedtime rituals like warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg can soothe your mind before bed, creating an environment that invites sleep. Try to create a calming bedtime routine—dim the lights, maybe read something easy, ditch the screens.
Sometimes our bodies and minds just won't cooperate, right? But self-care routines like light Abhyanga (self oil massage) with warm sesame oil at night can help ground Vata and ease tension. If you haven't already, practicing deep breathing exercises or meditation before bed can also be mindfulness tools to quiet the buzzing mind for a bit and maybe lower anxiety around sleep.
Should symptoms worsen, don't hesitate to reach out to a healthcare pro. Listening to your body and making small shifts can sometimes bring about a lot of relief—it's worth experimenting to see what fits with your lifestyle and brings balance.
