THANK YOU FOR SHARING WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH THIS TYPE OF ANXIETY THAT COMES MAINLY BEFORE TRAVEL AND DISTURBS SLEEP WHILE YOU FEEL FINE WHEN WORKING FROM HOME SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT A SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS BUT A FUNCTIONAL IMBALANCE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IN AYURVEDA THIS IS SEEN AS VATA PRAKOPA WITH MILD RAJAS INCREASE AFFECTING MANOVAHA SROTAS WHEN THE MIND STARTS ANTICIPATING AND OVERTHINKING THE BODY GOES INTO ALERT MODE AND SLEEP DOES NOT COME

THE POSITIVE PART IS THAT YOU HAVE LOW AND MANAGEABLE STRESS OTHERWISE AND THIS KIND OF CONDITION RESPONDS VERY WELL TO ROUTINE CORRECTION HERBAL SUPPORT AND NERVOUS SYSTEM NOURISHMENT

AT HOME START A SIMPLE NIGHT ROUTINE ONE HOUR BEFORE SLEEP TAKE ONE CUP OF WARM MILK ADD ONE PINCH NUTMEG POWDER AND ONE PINCH CARDAMOM POWDER IF SUITABLE YOU CAN ADD HALF TEASPOON GHEE THIS HELPS QUIETEN THE MIND AND BRINGS NATURAL SLEEP MASSAGE BOTH SOLES OF FEET AND SCALP WITH KSHIRABALA TAILA OR COW GHEE DAILY FOR FIVE MINUTES AND WASH FEET WITH WARM WATER THIS IS VERY EFFECTIVE IN CALMING VATA

AYURVEDIC MEDICINES WHICH CAN BE SAFELY USED ARE ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON TWICE DAILY MORNING WITH WARM WATER NIGHT WITH WARM MILK THIS STRENGTHENS THE NERVES AND REDUCES ANTICIPATORY FEAR BRAHMI VATI ONE TABLET AT NIGHT AFTER DINNER FOR MENTAL CALM AND SOUND SLEEP TAGARA CHURNA ONE FOURTH TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER OR MILK ESPECIALLY ON NIGHTS BEFORE TRAVEL IF THERE IS RESTLESSNESS OR PALPITATION SARASWATARISHTA TEN ML WITH EQUAL WATER AFTER DINNER CAN BE ADDED

ON TRAVEL DAYS AVOID TEA COFFEE EMPTY STOMACH TRAVEL AND COLD DRINKS CHEW TWO RAISINS SLOWLY WHEN ANXIETY STARTS SIP WARM WATER APPLY ONE DROP OF GHEE IN EACH NOSTRIL IN THE MORNING NASYA HELPS CALM THE FEAR RESPONSE AND STABILISE THE MIND

DIET SHOULD BE WARM FRESH AND NOURISHING AVOID DRY PACKAGED AND LATE NIGHT FOOD INCLUDE GHEE RICE DAL SOUPS VEGETABLES AND REGULAR MEAL TIMINGS MOBILE SCREEN SHOULD BE STOPPED AT LEAST ONE HOUR BEFORE SLEEP

BASIC INVESTIGATIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO RULE OUT CONTRIBUTING FACTORS CHECK HEMOGLOBIN VITAMIN B TWELVE VITAMIN D AND THYROID PROFILE DEFICIENCIES CAN WORSEN ANXIETY AND SLEEP PROBLEMS

WITH REGULAR ROUTINE AND THESE MEDICINES MOST PEOPLE FEEL IMPROVEMENT WITHIN TWO TO THREE WEEKS THIS CONDITION IS REVERSIBLE AND DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE WEAK OR ILL IT ONLY MEANS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM NEEDS CALMING AND NOURISHMENT
