Balagraha - #4456
My child has been frequently crying at night without any apparent reason, and they seem restless and irritable during the day. A family elder mentioned the concept of balagraha in Ayurveda and suggested it might be related to this condition. I want to understand what balagraha means and how it is treated in Ayurveda. Does balagraha refer to physical issues like colic or teething, or is it more related to spiritual imbalances or negative influences? From what I’ve read, balagraha can be caused by dosha imbalances, particularly Vata and Pitta, or even external factors. Are there specific herbal remedies, rituals, or therapies used to address balagraha? I’ve heard that Dashamoolarishtam and Balashwagandhadi oil might be helpful—are these commonly used for balagraha treatment? How long does it usually take for treatments to show results, and are there any preventive measures to avoid the recurrence of balagraha symptoms? If anyone has dealt with balagraha in their family, please share what remedies or practices worked for you. Any advice on managing a child’s health and sleep during this time would also be helpful.
