Why I am feeling uneasy?? - #503

Hello Ranjan, have you consulted anybody before? Any tests done? This points out to Vata-Pitta aggravation and nutritional deficiencies. Dietary Recommendations Breakfast: Warm oatmeal with ghee, nuts (especially almonds and walnuts), and a dash of cinnamon. Ripe bananas and seasonal fruits (avoid citrus if Pitta is aggravated, as it can increase the sensation of warmth). Empty stomach - Ashwagandha Milk: Boil 1 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder in a cup of warm milk, add a pinch of nutmeg for its calming effects. Lunch: Khichdi (a mix of rice, split mung dal, and ghee) with mild spices like cumin and coriander for easy digestion and grounding effects. Steamed vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash for nourishment and calming energy. Fresh leafy greens like spinach or kale for iron and other vital nutrients. Dinner: Moong Dal Soup with mild spices, or a vegetable stew to aid digestion and avoid heaviness at night. Avoid heavy, oily, or fried foods that may aggravate anxiety or sleep disturbances. Snacks: Handful of soaked almonds or walnuts for sustained energy. Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Can be eaten fresh or as a supplement for immune support and to reduce heat in the body. Hydration: Warm water with fennel seeds or ginger throughout the day for digestion and to reduce internal heat. Chamomile or Tulsi Tea in the evening to relax the nervous system and prepare for sleep. Ayurvedic Herbal Medicines Ashwagandha (500 mg twice daily): Known for its adaptogenic properties, it reduces stress, promotes calm, and supports restful sleep. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri, 250 mg twice daily): Acts as a brain tonic, enhancing mental clarity, reducing anxiety, and aiding in depression management. Jatamansi (250 mg once in the evening): Known for its calming effects, it supports sleep and reduces overactive thoughts. Triphala (1 teaspoon with warm water at bedtime): Supports digestion and detoxification, which is important for mental clarity and overall wellness. Sleep Routine: Establish a calming bedtime routine, including warm Ashwagandha milk or Chamomile tea, and avoid stimulating activities.

Your symptoms—insomnia, depression, agoraphobia, hot sensations in the ear, shortness of breath, cold sweating, and panic attacks—indicate an aggravated Vata and Pitta dosha, which can disrupt mental balance and affect the nervous system. In Ayurveda, balancing these doshas through diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies can help restore mental peace, reduce anxiety, and alleviate physical symptoms associated with panic. To pacify Vata and calm the mind, establish a calming daily routine. Begin the day with meditation and deep breathing exercises, such as Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) and Pranayama, to promote relaxation, improve lung function, and reduce panic symptoms. Warm oil self-massage (Abhyanga) with Mahanarayan Taila or Ksheerabala Taila before a warm shower can provide grounding and ease both physical and mental tension. Internally, herbs like Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) are recommended for their adaptogenic properties, which reduce anxiety, promote mental clarity, and improve sleep quality. Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi) is also helpful for calming the mind and reducing insomnia. Avoid spicy, overly salty, or fried foods, as they can aggravate Pitta and increase heat sensations in the body. Instead, favor cooling, grounding foods like cooked vegetables, whole grains, and nourishing oils such as ghee. Incorporating yoga poses such as Shavasana (Corpse Pose) and Balasana (Child’s Pose) can help calm the nervous system and relieve stress. Avoid stimulants like caffeine, as well as late nights and intense activities that may aggravate Vata and Pitta. With consistent practice of these Ayurvedic practices, you may gradually experience a reduction in symptoms
