●Medhya ahara (brain & nervous system support) Almonds: 2–3 soaked and peeled daily. Enhances dhi (intelligence) and dhriti (retention). Walnuts: 1 daily. Rich in omega-3, essential for majja dhatu (nervous tissue) healing. Goghruta (desi cow ghee): 1–2 tsp daily. Acts as a samskara-anuvartana (carrier), delivering nutrients deep into brain tissues. Kshira-Kadali Yoga: Banana with milk for instant Ojas (vitality) and brain nourishment. Draksha (Soaked Raisins): Support Rakta Dhatu (blood) and provide a cooling effect on the mind. ●Balya Ahara (Physical Strength & Immunity) Mudga Yush / Khichdi: Moong dal khichdi with ghee. It is Laghu (light) but Balya (strengthening). Daliya / Suji Porridge: Excellent for weight gain and improving stamina. Paneer & Milk: High-quality Prithvi and Aap element foods for tissue growth. Seasonal Fruits: Focus on Banana and Apple for energy. Vegetable Soups: Carrot, Bottle Gourd (Lauki), and Spinach to replenish micro-nutrients. ●Ayurvedic Formulations (Aushadhi) Brahmi Ghrita: ½ tsp daily with lukewarm milk. This is the gold standard for Majja recovery and cognitive restoration. Ashwagandha Lehya: A small dose (approx. 3-5g) to boost vyadhi Kshamatva (immunity) and muscular strength.
