Insomnia

Insomnia, characterized by difficulty falling or staying asleep, often stems from imbalances in the Vata and Pitta doshas, heightened stress, or poor sleep hygiene. Ayurveda treats insomnia by pacifying these imbalances using herbal formulations like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Tagara, which calm the mind and nerves. Therapies like Shirodhara (continuous oil pouring on the forehead), Abhyanga (full body oil massage), and Nasya (nasal treatments) are employed to soothe the nervous system. Personalized dietary changes, meditation, and yoga further enhance relaxation and promote deep, restorative sleep without dependency on medications.
