Can Ayurvedic medicines alleviate work-related stress?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have developed anxiety problems due to severe work-related stress. Due to stress, I am having palpitations. I had a full echo, ECG, and a treadmill test to rule out cardiac problems and the results were normal. I was advised Betacap 20 mg and Restyl 0.25 mg each once a day. I have been taking these medications for close to one and a half years now. However, during a Siddha camp in our office for stress, they reviewed my medications and advised me to take Ashwagandha 400 mg twice, one in the morning and one night each along with my allopathy medications. Also, I have lost my sex drive due to stress. I would like to take advice on this medication and dosage. Will these ayurvedic supplements cause any interactions?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you have seven hours of continuous and undisturbed deep sleep, that is more than enough to compensate for your trouble. Your drowsiness during your working hours and loss of interest in sex is because of the side effects of the drugs. I suggest the following therapies:

Betacap (Propranolol) - only in the morning (stop at night).
Stop Restyl (Alprazolam) and Xyzal (Levocetirizine). If you do not get sleep for two days, then you can take one Restyl on the third day. It is better if you come out of these drugs or you will be addicted.
Taking Ashwagandha (Manjistha, Haritaki, Haridra) 400 mg twice is good for reducing stress and improving sexual interest (maximum for 6 months).
Tablet Vallarai (Mandookaparni and Babbula), a herbal drug from Centella Asiatica - take one in the morning and one in the evening before bed. This will reduce your stress. You can take it lifelong.
Capsule Rathnapurush (Twak, Chinoshana, Madanamastaki) - one in the morning and one in the evening (to reduce stress and improve happiness).
Karisalai madakku thailam (Bringaraja swarasa and Tila taila)- apply 10 drops on your head, and do self-head massage. Wait for 30 minutes. Then take a bath. Continue this practice every day. This is the best to reduce stress improve hair growth, and prevent aging. The above oil (Karisalai madakku thailam): one drop in each nostril. Apply in the morning after brushing, and before bed. You can put one drop on your finger and apply it to the nostril. This prevents stress-related allergic or nasal effects. This makes you alert during your working hours.
Tablet Karisalai karpam (Bringaraja, Neeli, Mundi) two tablets in the morning and one at night. This should be continued for six months. Then, one tablet in the morning and one at night. This can be continued for a long time.
You can join a yoga-pranayama course and practice it daily. It will bring positive changes.

I have prescribed you yogic drugs, which will make you healthy mentally as well as physically. After three months, you can stop Betacap.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, both Vallarai and Brahmi are the same. You can use Musli if you have already purchased it. Once Musli is finished, then you continue with capsule Rathnapurush. This capsule additionally contains Shilajit.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
