When the mind is involved only a strong will power will help you fight over the condition. 🧘‍♀️ 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. Chitrak Haritaki Avleham 1 tsp in the morning. Try doing 10 mins tratak (gaze any object outside or simple close your eyes and go thoughtless) just before you sleep. This will also help alot.

HELLO, Post viral anxiety with insomnia is common, especially after prolonged cough and weakness. In Ayurveda, this condition is usually related to Vata aggravation (sometimes with pitta involvement) After viral illness -Body becomes weak (dhatu kshaya) -Vata increases (causing anxiety, restlessness, poor sleep) -Ojas (immunity strength) becomes low TREATMENT GOALS -calm vata -nourish nervous system -improve sleep naturally -rebuild strength DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -moong dal khichdi with ghee -warm milk with nutmeg at night -soaked almonds 4-5 daily -herbal teas- brahmi, ashwagandha, chamomile AVOID -cold, dry, stale food -excess tea, coffee -late night meals -fasting INTERNAL MEDICATIONS 1) MANASMITRA VATAKAM= 1 tab at night before bed =for anxiety and strength 2) KALYANAK GHRITA= 1/2 tsp with warm milk in morning =foe axiety with weakness 3) JATAMANSI CAPSULE= 1 cap at night to improve sleep 4) TAGAR CAPSULE= 1 cap at night for severe insomnia 5) SARASWATARISHTA= 15ml with equal water twice daily after meals for anxiety with weakness DAILY ROUTINE -sleep by 10 pm -wake up before 6:30 am -avoid mobile 1 hour before sleep -gentle evening walk -no daytime sleep OIL THERAPIES BEST FOR VATA DAILY -warm sesame oil foot massage before bed -brahmi oil head massage 3-4 times/week PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana -bhramari -5 min deep belly breathing Avoid intense yoga or heavy workouts currently SIMPLE NIGHT SLEEP FORMULA 1 CUP warm milk -pinch nutmeg -small pinch turmeric Take 30 min before bed Since anxiety is severe, also consider -checkig thyroid levels -vitamin D and B12 RECOVERY TIMELINE With proper care -sleep improves in 2-3 weeks -anxiety reduces gradually over 4-6 weeks Consistency is key DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU
