Namaste Rashmi Ji, Your symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nerve weakness indicate an aggravated Vata-Pitta Dosha in the body, especially in the Majja Dhatu (nervous system). Ayurveda recognizes these imbalances and prescribes Rasayanas (rejuvenating formulations) to restore balance. I will address your concerns and guide you with suitable recommendations. 1. Combining Medhya Rasayana and Brahma Rasayana: Medhya Rasayana: These formulations (like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, Mandukaparni) are specifically meant for improving cognitive function, calming the mind, and supporting the nervous system. Brahma Rasayana: A general Rasayana to promote overall rejuvenation, enhance strength, and support immunity while calming aggravated Vata and Pitta. Can you take both? Yes, Medhya Rasayana and Brahma Rasayana can generally be taken together under guidance, as they complement each other. However: Take them in moderation: Avoid overloading the body with too many Rasayanas at once. Dosage Timing: Space out their consumption—e.g., take Medhya Rasayana in the morning and Brahma Rasayana at night or as prescribed. 2. Kanchanar Guggulu for Thyroid: Kanchanar Guggulu is beneficial for managing Kapha-related thyroid disorders (like hypothyroidism), goiter, and lymphatic stagnation. However, since you have a Vata-Pitta imbalance, excessive use may aggravate these doshas due to its heating nature. Suggestions: Continue Kanchanar Guggulu only if prescribed by your doctor and monitor for symptoms like dryness, excessive heat, or restlessness. Ensure you balance it with cooling and grounding foods (like ghee, coconut water, and herbs like licorice). 3. Addressing Your Symptoms (Vertigo, Dizziness, Nerve Weakness): Herbal Remedies: Vata-Pitta Balancing Herbs: Ashwagandha: Strengthens nerves and calms Vata. Take 1 tsp Ashwagandha powder with warm milk at night. Shatavari: Excellent for calming Pitta and promoting nervous system health. Take 1 tsp with warm water or milk in the morning. Brahmi: Improves mental clarity, relieves dizziness, and balances Vata-Pitta. Take Brahmi tea or capsules as per instructions. Specific Formulations: Saraswatarishta: A classical Ayurvedic tonic for improving memory, reducing dizziness, and calming the nervous system. Take 15 ml with equal water after meals. Vacha Powder: Mix a pinch of Vacha powder in honey and take daily to reduce vertigo symptoms. External Therapies: Shirodhara: A stream of warm medicated oil is poured on the forehead to calm the nervous system. Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Use warm sesame oil or Bala Ashwagandha oil for full-body massage to ground Vata. 4. Dinacharya (Daily Routine) to Support Healing: Morning Routine: Begin your day with warm water infused with a pinch of ginger and lemon. Practice gentle yoga or stretching to improve circulation (e.g., Tadasana and Balasana). Dietary Adjustments: Favor sweet, salty, and sour tastes to pacify Vata and cooling, non-spicy foods to pacify Pitta. Include ghee, almond milk, coconut, and cooked vegetables in your diet. Avoid stimulants like caffeine, fried foods, and sour curd, which aggravate your symptoms. Pranayama and Meditation: Practice Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing) for 10 minutes to balance Vata and Pitta. Meditation calms the nervous system and reduces stress-induced dizziness. 5. Additional Lifestyle Tips for Vertigo and Nerve Weakness: Stay hydrated but avoid drinking cold water. Prefer warm herbal teas like tulsi or ginger tea. Avoid overexertion, excessive screen time, and mental strain. Take adequate sleep (7-8 hours) to allow the nervous system to repair itself. Caution: While these remedies and lifestyle adjustments are beneficial, combining multiple Rasayanas and medications like Kanchanar Guggulu should be done under regular monitoring by an Ayurvedic physician to avoid dosha aggravation or unwanted interactions.

As per Ayurveda, Medhya Rasayan and Brahma Rasayan are both beneficial for mental health and cognitive functions, but combining them should be done with caution, especially in your case with a Vata Pitta dosha. These rasayanas are generally safe, but their effects on the doshas should be considered to avoid imbalances. Since both rasayanas can have stimulating or pacifying properties, their combination could aggravate Pitta if not properly balanced. Additionally, Kanchanar Gugulu, which is used for thyroid issues, generally doesn't have a direct contraindication with these rasayanas, but it’s important to monitor your overall body constitution and any specific symptoms. It’s best to consult with your Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure the combination aligns with your individual constitution and health needs.
