Long-term insomnia related to stress, worry, legal pressure, and financial strain is commonly linked in Ayurveda to aggravated Vata and mental overactivity. Herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari may help support sleep, calmness, and nervous system strength when used properly. Common supportive dosage: Ashwagandha powder: 3–5 grams at night with warm milk or warm water Shatavari powder: 3–5 grams once or twice daily, usually with warm milk If digestion is sensitive, start with a smaller dose (around 2–3 grams) and increase gradually. General guidance: Ashwagandha is usually preferred when stress, anxiety, weakness, and disturbed sleep are prominent. Shatavari is more cooling and nourishing, often helpful when there is mental exhaustion, heat, or dryness. Helpful bedtime routine: Sleep at a fixed time Avoid mobile/screens late at night Warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg may help Gentle breathing practices, meditation, and foot massage with warm sesame oil can calm Vata Because your insomnia has been present for 15–18 years, a detailed Ayurvedic assessment is important before long-term use of herbs, especially if you have BP, thyroid issues, diabetes, or take other medications.
