1. Montelukast Uses: Montelukast is primarily used to manage asthma and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). It works by blocking leukotrienes, which are chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and other allergy symptoms. It does not treat acute asthma attacks or common colds, but it can help prevent symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath in people with asthma. It is also used to treat seasonal allergies and allergic rhinitis. 2. How Montelukast Works: Montelukast helps by reducing the effects of leukotrienes, which contribute to inflammation and constriction in the airways, making it easier to breathe. It’s not immediate relief like an inhaler; it works best when taken daily to manage symptoms over time. 3. Dosage and Timing: Montelukast is typically taken once a day, in the evening. It's important to take it regularly to get the full benefit, even if you feel fine. Your doctor will guide you on the correct dosage. 4. Side Effects: Common side effects can include: Headaches Stomach pain Fatigue Sleep disturbances (like vivid dreams or insomnia) Mood changes (rare but serious) If you notice any unusual changes in behavior, mood, or sleep, it’s important to contact your doctor immediately. 5. Managing Side Effects: If you experience mild side effects like headaches or stomach upset, they might resolve after a few days. Taking Montelukast with food can help reduce stomach issues. If sleep disturbances occur, try taking the medication earlier in the evening. Natural remedies like relaxation techniques (e.g., meditation or deep breathing) can help with sleep. 6. Effectiveness and Long-Term Use: Many people find Montelukast effective for controlling asthma and allergy symptoms. However, responses can vary, and it’s important to use it alongside other treatments if prescribed by your doctor. It's generally considered safe for long-term use, but ongoing monitoring for side effects is important. If you’re experiencing any side effects or have concerns about its use, talk to your doctor to discuss adjustments or alternative treatments.

Ayurvedic treatments for psoriasis, such as Takradhara, Virechana, and Raktamokshana, are highly effective in addressing the root causes of psoriasis by detoxifying the body, balancing doshas, and calming the immune response. Nimbadi Kashayam and other herbal remedies help reduce inflammation, itchiness, and skin scaling while promoting long-term remission. Many patients have experienced significant improvements in skin clarity and overall health when combining these treatments with a Kapha-Pitta pacifying diet (avoiding sour, salty, and spicy foods) and stress-relieving practices like yoga and meditation.

According to Ayurveda, the best time to sleep is by 10 PM and wake up around sunrise (5-6 AM) because our body follows the natural energy cycles of the day. Ayurveda divides the day into Kapha, Pitta, and Vata phases, and sleeping late disrupts these cycles, leading to sluggishness, poor digestion, and mental fog. Kapha time (6-10 PM) is when the body naturally prepares for sleep, so staying awake past this window makes it harder to fall into deep, restful sleep. Waking up late, especially after Kapha time in the morning (6-10 AM), can cause heaviness, grogginess, and low energy throughout the day. If you start sleeping and waking up consistently during Ayurveda’s ideal times, you’ll likely see improvements in energy levels, mental clarity, and digestion within a few days to a couple of weeks. The key is consistency—even small adjustments like going to bed by 11 PM instead of 2 AM can make a difference. Your headaches and difficulty concentrating are probably due to irregular sleep affecting your body's natural repair process, so fixing your schedule should help. Ayurveda also suggests winding down properly with calming activities like herbal tea, light stretching, or avoiding screens before bed to improve sleep quality. Ayurveda isn’t overly strict—you can adjust your sleep timing gradually to fit your routine while still benefiting. The most important thing is to maintain a regular sleep schedule rather than constantly changing your bedtime. Also, good sleep hygiene matters—avoid heavy meals late at night, limit caffeine in the evening, and create a calm sleep environment. If you stick to a stable routine and align your sleep with Ayurveda’s natural cycles, you should feel more rested, focused, and energized fairly quickly!
