Ayurveda reads restless sleep and chronic stress as aggravated Vata: too much movement in the nervous system. Remedies are grounding, warm and taken in the evening.

Digestive strength (agni) is the centre of Ayurvedic practice. Bloating, irregularity and sluggishness are treated by kindling agni rather than suppressing symptoms.

Immunity (ojas) is built through rasayana herbs, sound sleep and easily digested food, and protected by avoiding over-exertion during recovery.

Stiff, aching joints are linked to accumulated ama (metabolic residue) and dryness. Warm oils, anti-inflammatory spices and gentle daily movement are the core response.

Skin and hair are treated as outputs of blood quality and digestion. Cooling, blood-cleansing herbs are used internally alongside topical oils.

Fatigue and scattered attention are addressed with medhya (brain-nourishing) and rasayana (rejuvenating) herbs, taken consistently over weeks rather than as a single dose.
