When vata increases in this way it creates a sense of insecurity inside even when there is no real external threat that urge to go to someone’s house and fear of being alone comes from prana vata instability and hridaya dhatu sensitivity and the repeated thoughts of losing your husband are not reality based they are vata driven chanchalata of mind Right now the approach should not be only calming the mind temporarily but grounding stabilising and nourishing your system so that vata settles at a deeper level Food plays a very important role here your appetite is low but you still need regular nourishment take warm soft slightly unctuous food at fixed timings rice with moong dal well cooked with a little ghee or butter if ghee is not tolerated is good avoid dry cold raw foods completely do not skip meals even if quantity is small Constipation itself is feeding your anxiety so bowel movement must be corrected gently without strong purgation at night you can take 1 teaspoon ghee in warm milk if tolerated or use soaked black raisins this will reduce vata from the root For sleep and mental stability your system needs snigdha and brimhana support more than only medhya Take Tab G kanth 1 tablet twice daily after food Take Manasamitra vatikam 1 tablet at night before sleep Take Brahmi pearls 1 capsule twice daily after food Take Saraswathi aristham 15 ml with equal water after food twice daily You can also take Ashwagandha churna half teaspoon with warm milk at night if it suits your digestion External support is very important apply warm sesame oil to scalp and feet at night this directly calms prana vata and improves sleep even gentle abhyanga to body before bath will help reduce restlessness Try not to stay completely alone during peak anxiety hours but slowly train your mind to feel safe in your own space keep a soft light or calming sound in the background to support mental stability Thyroid imbalance and weight loss both indicate depletion so avoid restrictive diets your body needs nourishment and grounding at this stage

Many many thanks for your prompt and quick reply . Pls allow me sometime to process what you have mentioned …

I understand how distressing this must feel for you. What you are going through is a severe Vata imbalance affecting the mind, digestion, sleep, and hormonal system together. The fear, restlessness, urge to not stay alone, poor appetite, weight loss, constipation, and sleep disturbance are all connected and need a structured approach. Start with Manasamitra Vatakam, one tablet at bedtime with warm water or milk. Take Saraswatarishta 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner. For strengthening the nervous system, take Ashwagandha churna half teaspoon twice daily with warm milk, and Brahmi ghrita one fourth teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach. Constipation must be corrected, otherwise anxiety will persist. Take Triphala churna one teaspoon at bedtime with warm water. If needed, add Gandharvahastadi kashayam 15 ml before dinner. For thyroid support, take Kanchanar Guggulu two tablets twice daily after food. Follow a simple routine. Begin the day with warm water and a little ghee, include ghee in meals, and avoid dry, cold, and raw foods. Apply warm sesame oil to the feet and scalp regularly, and have milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night for better sleep. Do not stop your current anxiety medication suddenly. With this combination, sleep improves first, then anxiety gradually reduces over a few weeks as the body becomes stable.

If you are taking any allopathic medication, continue the medicine along with ayurvedic approach. For sleeplessness and stress if you can do some panchakarma therapy like shirodhara, it will be very beneficial. There are some treatments like Takra dhara, Thalapothichil which will help to reduce stress level, and its cooling effect and other properties will help in induce sleep. Start some internal medicines like 1. Saraswatarishtam - 15ml twice daily just after food. It will help in mental stability, unwanted thoughts, fear, also help in weight gain. 2. Aswagandha choornam 1/2 tsp with warm milk twice a day. Give a gap with arishtam and allopathic medication while taking this. It also relieves stress and anxiety 3. Manasamitram vatakam 1 at night. Continue this medication for 1 month and follow up after that, then we can decide other medication acc to your situation. Take care, Dr. Shaniba
