Hello Preksha,
These symptoms may stem from a combination of neurological factors, chronic migraine effects, and anxiety.
It is better to seek an evaluation to rule out conditions like hemiplegic migraines or other neurological issues, as these may explain numbness and brain fog.Anxiety can contribute to numbness and cognitive fog. Techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relaxation exercises (deep breathing, meditation) can help reduce stress.Prioritize quality sleep, follow a balanced diet (avoiding caffeine and alcohol), and engage in gentle exercise to support brain and nerve health.
Ayurvedic medication like Ashwagandha,
Brahmi, Vacha and Shankhapushpi help in supporting cognitive clarity and reduce mental fog.
Dry ginger: For its anti-inflammatory effects, which may help with pain and migraine relief.
Abhyanga: Warm oil massage with sesame or Mahanarayan oil to reduce body pain and improve circulation.
Shirodhara: Pouring warm oil on the forehead to calm the nervous system and reduce migraine and anxiety symptoms.
Diet: Follow a Vata-pacifying diet, emphasizing warm, cooked foods with anti-inflammatory spices like turmeric and ginger to reduce pain and support mental clarity.
Consult an Ayurvedic doctor for customised management.

Experiencing full-body numbness on the left side, shaky hands, and brain fog, particularly alongside a history of migraines and anxiety, suggests an imbalance of Vata dosha, which can lead to nerve-related symptoms and affect mental clarity. Chronic anxiety can further exacerbate these symptoms by increasing tension in the body and leading to overactivation of the nervous system.
To address these issues, it's essential to focus on calming the mind and nourishing the nervous system. Incorporating Ashwagandha and Brahmi can help reduce anxiety and support cognitive function. Regular practices such as Pranayama (breathing exercises) and gentle yoga can enhance relaxation, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. Additionally, Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil can relieve tension, nourish the nerves, and improve circulation, which may alleviate numbness and shakiness.
Maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, whole grains, and fresh fruits and vegetables is vital for nerve health and overall energy. It's also important to stay well-hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine or processed foods. If symptoms persist, a consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended to rule out any underlying conditions. Could you share more about your daily routine and any specific triggers that worsen your symptoms for a more tailored approach?

Well, numbness in the left side of your body combined with shaky hands and brain fog can feel pretty unsettling. Since you've mentioned anxiety, it could be part of the picture, but it’s really important to also rule out any serious medical conditions first. It’s crucial to see a doctor or neurologist to get a clear and immediate understanding of your symptoms. They’re the right folks for diagnosing any urgent conditions like a stroke or other neurological issues. Don’t hesitate on this one.
Now, from an Ayurvedic angle, what you’re describing hints at potential imbalances, often involving Vata dosha. This dosha is related to all things movement, like nervous function and stress responses. Anxiety can imbalance Vata further, increasing feelings of jitteriness and mental clouding.
To soothe Vata, think of warmth and regularity. Add grounding foods like warm soups, cooked veggies (sweet potatoes or carrots are great), and whole grains to your daily meals. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods for now—they might aggravate Vata more. Drink warm herbal teas like ginger or chamomile throughout the day. They can be calming to both your mind and body.
Establish a routine that includes some kind of slow-paced exercise like yoga or a brisk walk every day. It regulates Vata balance well. Practicing pranayama, particularly Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) for 5–10 minutes daily, can really help calm your nervous system.
Also, try applying warm sesame oil to your skin morning and night, with a soothing foot massage before bed. This can help ground you and promote better sleep.
Remember, while these steps support balance, you need to first ensure there’s no critical condition at play. Don’t push aside medical advice for Ayurvedic remedies if there's an immediate risk. Take everything one step at a time, okay?
