Your symptoms suggest a considerable Vata imbalance, which often affects both the nervous system and digestion. This imbalance could be linked with your history of depression and ongoing issues. First, to assist in correcting this imbalance, focus on grounding and cooling practices.
For sleep, consider taking warm milk (preferably cow’s milk if you tolerate it) with a pinch of nutmeg and a little honey before bed. Nutmeg is soothing for Vata and can promote restful sleep. Another option could be Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) tea, taken in the evening. Brahmi supports the nervous system and may aid sleep without dependency. Avoid screens, caffeine, and rigorous activity before sleep, too, as these can further aggravate Vata.
Addressing your gut issues involves paying attention to Agni, or digestive fire. Begin each day with a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of ajwain (carom seeds) steeped in it. Ajwain can relieve bloating and acidity. Meals should be warm, freshly prepared and light — prefer soupy, less spicy foods during dinner. Ghee can be beneficial in both calming vata and supporting digestion, so adding a small amount to meals may help.
It’s esssential that you seek professional advice to remedy your vitamin deficiencies. Your described symptoms might indicate that theyre contributing to the sleep problems and fatigue. If you haven’t already, getting a prescription for Vitamin D supplements and ensuring B12 injections are administered under medical guidance is critical. Deeper evaluation by a healthcare provider is important should there be underlying issues needing immediate attention.
