Insomnia (Anidra): Ayurvedic Care in Pune

Doctor-led care for sleeplessness: Shirodhara, Ayurvedic Medicine and a night routine, planned for why your sleep broke.

Key Takeaways
Ayurveda calls insomnia Anidra and links it to aggravated Vata, a mind that stays in alert mode.
Care combines Ayurvedic Medicine such as Brahmi-based formulas, a night routine (Ratricharya) and, where suitable, Shirodhara, Abhyanga or Nasya.
Never stop a prescribed sleeping tablet abruptly; any reduction is planned with the doctor who prescribed it.
Read this first. Loud snoring with pauses in breathing, or falling asleep while driving, needs a medical sleep evaluation. If low mood or thoughts of self-harm sit underneath the sleeplessness, call the Tele-MANAS line on 14416 (free, 24 hours) or 112 in an emergency, and see a psychiatrist first.

It is 2 am. Your body is exhausted, but your mind replays tomorrow on a loop. Ayurveda calls sleeplessness Anidra and links it to aggravated Vata. At AMRUT AYU CARE™ the Wednesday Sleep and Mental Health OPD looks at why your sleep broke, then plans Ayurvedic Medicine, a personal night routine and, where suitable, Shirodhara. Prescribed sleeping tablets continue until your doctor plans any change. Call 8698282507.

How Insomnia Shows Up

Trouble falling asleep
Racing thoughts at bedtime keep the mind alert long after the lights go off.
Light, broken sleep
Frequent waking and early-morning alertness leave you unrefreshed.
The daytime cost
Low focus, irritability and acidity follow the lost hours.
A broken routine
Late dinners, screens and shift work push the body clock out of rhythm.

The Ayurvedic View: Anidra

Classical texts rank sleep (Nidra) as one of the three pillars of health, alongside food. Sleeplessness is traced to aggravated Vata, which keeps the mind on alert.

Cold, dry weather and irregular routine aggravate Vata further, which is why sleep often worsens in some seasons. Care works on Vata and on the daily rhythm together.

How Care Is Planned

Sleep and Vata assessment
A detailed sleep history, your work schedule and screen habits, and a dosha evaluation.
Mood screening
The doctor checks for anxiety or low mood underneath the sleeplessness, and refers to a psychiatrist where needed.
Ayurvedic Medicine
Brahmi-based classical formulas, prescribed for you. Please do not self-medicate.
Ratricharya
A personal night routine: a fixed dinner window, a wind-down sequence and a screen cut-off.
Review
Sleep is reviewed at each visit, and any change to a prescribed tablet stays with the prescribing doctor.
