Chronic sleeplessness or insomnia is the disruptive sleeping routine of an individual giving rise to other health problems and this is very common these days. Apart from just stress, there are many medical conditions that lead to insomnia and need proper treatment.

One of the reasons that insomnia is on the rise is the high-stress levels and time pressures associated with modern living. Lack of sleep, in turn, creates more stress on the job and at home. Restful sleep is one of the three pillars of ayurvedic healing, the other two being diet and lifestyle.

In Ayurveda, Insomnia is known as Anidra. According to the Ayurvedic perspective, the sub doshas responsible for insomnia are Tarpak Kapha, Sadhak Pitta or Prana Vata.

The imbalance in Tarpak Kapha causes poor nourishment of brain cells, leading to insomnia.

The imbalance in Sadhak Pitta makes a person demanding and workaholic, thereby leading to situations that may cause lack of sleep.

The imbalance in Prana Vata leads Insomnia.

In each patient, different composition of doshas can lead to the disease. The Ayurvedic treatment of insomnia focuses on balancing the aggravated body energies through herbal medicines as well as customized diet and lifestyle plans.
