🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.

❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.

❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.

❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive…

✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.

✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.

✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.

✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.

💊 Medication: 💊

Panchendriya Vardhan Tailam 2 drops in each nostril early in the morning empty stomach.

Cap. Memorin(S.G.Phytopharma) 2 caps twice a day before food.

Syp. Prasham 4 tsp at bed time with lukewarm water. Tab. Manasmitra Vatak 2 tabs at bed time.

Head massage with BHRAMI Oil. If possible take bhrami oil shirodhara at a panchakarma center near you.

Hii dear….I’m really glad you opened up about this — what you’re describing is not your fault and it doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you as a person. Your mind and body have been under constant stress, overstimulation, lack of routine, and emotional exhaustion for a long time. Anyone in your place would feel overwhelmed.

The fidgeting, jumping from task to task, nervousness, anxiety, and feeling like your brain is in a knot — these are your body’s signals saying “I’m tired, please take care of me.”

It doesn’t automatically mean you have a permanent mental disorder. Many of these symptoms happen when: Sleep cycle is disturbed Screen exposure is continuous Social disconnect increases Anxiety silently accumulates Nervous system becomes overactive

The good news? With the right routine, healing is absolutely possible. You’re not alone. You’re not broken. You’re just tired — deeply tired. You’re already taking the first step by asking for help.

🌿 Ayurvedic Supportive Medicines 1.Brahmi Ghrita – 1 tsp at night with warm water 2.Saraswatarishta – 10–15 ml with equal water after meals 3.Ashwagandha Tablets / Churna – 500 mg twice daily or 1 tsp at night with milk 4.Jatamansi Capsules – 1 capsule twice daily after food

🌱 Lifestyle Changes (Most Important for Your Recovery) ⭐ 1. Reset Your Sleep Cycle Sleep before 11 PM Stop using phone 1 hour before bed Warm shower at night Dim lights + calming music ⭐ 2. Phone Detox Put phone in another room while sleeping Limit screen time to 1–2 hours/day initially No phone while eating Replace scrolling with walks, journaling, or breathing exercises ⭐ 3. Reconnect Slowly Sit with family for 10 minutes daily Say one sentence more than usual Spend 5 minutes outdoors daily Your brain needs real interaction, not online dopamine hits ⭐ 4. Daily 20–30 min Movement Walking, yoga, or stretching Even 10 minutes helps anxiety massively ⭐ 5. Grounding Practices (helps with panic) One hand on chest, one on stomach Slow inhale 4 sec → hold 2 sec → exhale 6 sec Do for 5 minutes twice daily You’ll feel your mind calming

❌ Don’ts Don’t stay in bed on your phone Don’t skip meals Don’t stay isolated for long Don’t read too much about diseases (it increases anxiety) No coffee/tea after 5 PM Avoid sleeping in the afternoon

✔️ Do’s Eat warm, fresh foods Maintain a fixed waking time Drink 2–3 glasses warm water in morning Spend 10–20 min in sunlight Use calming herbal teas (chamomile, tulsi, brahmi) Journal your emotions before sleep

🌼 You Are Not Alone, You Are Recovering You are not going crazy. Your body is tired, your mind is overwhelmed, and your nervous system is overactive — but all of this can be healed step by step. With structure + herbal support + reduced screen time, you’ll feel like yourself again.

Warm Regards, Dr. Sumi MS (Ayu)
