In Ayurveda, insomnia is often linked to an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas, which can cause a restless mind and disrupted sleep. Herbal remedies like Ashwagandha and Brahmi are highly recommended; Ashwagandha supports the nervous system and reduces stress, while Brahmi soothes mental restlessness. Taking 1/2 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder with warm milk in the evening or Brahmi oil massaged onto the scalp can improve sleep. Herbs like Tagara (Indian Valerian) and Jatamansi are also beneficial, known for their calming effects on the mind; 250 mg of Tagara powder mixed with warm milk before bed can be especially helpful. Additionally, Ayurvedic preparations like Manasamitra Vatakam and Saraswatarishta provide mental calmness and relaxation. Establishing a calming bedtime ritual, such as a warm sesame oil massage or drinking turmeric milk with nutmeg and honey, can further balance Vata and Pitta, encouraging deep, restful sleep. Please consult an Ayurvedic doctor physically to adjust the medication and it’s doses according to your exact condition.

Long-term insomnia can deeply affect your well-being, and Ayurveda considers sleep disturbances often due to an aggravated Vata dosha or mental stress. Since you’re managing slight blood pressure with Amlip 5 mg, gentle Ayurvedic approaches can support better sleep without interfering with your medication. To calm Vata and promote restful sleep, consider taking Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), both of which help reduce stress, calm the mind, and promote relaxation. Ashwagandha powder or capsules can be taken in the evening, and Brahmi can be taken in the morning to support mental clarity during the day. Alternatively, you may try Tagara (Indian Valerian) capsules or powder before bed, as it has a mild sedative effect and helps with sleep. A warm oil massage (Abhyanga) with sesame oil or Ashwagandha Bala oil, done in the evening before a warm bath, can deeply relax the body and soothe the mind, making it easier to fall asleep. Practicing Nasya (nasal drops) with Anu Thailam or ghee in each nostril at bedtime can also help calm the mind and balance Vata. Additionally, a cup of warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg, turmeric, and cardamom before bed can further induce calmness and aid in restful sleep. Setting a routine with Pranayama exercises, especially Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) and Bhramari (humming bee breath), can improve oxygen flow and help ease the mind, making it easier to fall asleep. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and avoiding stimulants like caffeine, especially in the afternoon, is also essential. This Ayurvedic regimen should help encourage deep relaxation and gradually improve sleep quality, but remember to consult your healthcare provider to ensure any new treatments are compatible with your blood pressure medication.
