Ayurveda can support anxiety, sleep, and emotional balance, but please do not stop her current medicines suddenly. Treatment should be gradual and supportive. Keep her routine calm and regular. Proper sleep, light exercise, meditation, and warm homemade food are very important. Avoid excess caffeine, late nights, and overthinking triggers as much as possible. Brahmi vati – 1 tablet twice daily Ashwagandha churna – 1 teaspoon with warm milk at bedtime Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food These can help improve calmness, sleep, and stress tolerance gradually.
