What is

Ayurvedic Treatment for Insomnia?

At Ideal Ayurvedic Resort, every guest is first assessed constitutionally, followed by an Ayurvedic diagnosis, and only then are therapies planned. Our Ayurvedic treatment for insomnia is unique to each individual and their body type (dosha), identifying the underlying factors behind the sleeplessness.

Chronic sleeplessness, or insomnia, is a disrupted sleeping routine that can give rise to other health problems, and it is very common today. Apart from stress, several medical conditions can lead to insomnia and need proper attention.

Your treatment plan is determined after consultation with an Ayurvedic physician, according to your constitution (dosha), health condition and wellness goals.

The Ayurvedic View of Insomnia

One reason insomnia is on the rise is the high stress and time pressure of modern living, and lack of sleep in turn adds more stress at work and at home. In Ayurveda, restful sleep is one of the three pillars of healing, along with diet and lifestyle. Insomnia is known as Anidra, and the sub-doshas traditionally linked with it are:

Tarpak Kapha

An imbalance is traditionally linked to poor nourishment of brain cells, which can disturb sleep.

Sadhak Pitta

An imbalance is linked to a demanding, workaholic pattern that can lead to lack of sleep.

Prana Vata

An imbalance in Prana Vata is traditionally associated with insomnia.

Every guest has a different combination of doshas. Ayurvedic care therefore focuses on balancing the aggravated body energies through herbal medicines and a customised diet and lifestyle plan.

What May Be Included in Your Insomnia Program?

Your program may include a combination of the following therapies as recommended by our physician. Where purification is advised, Snehana (oleation) with medicated ghee or oil is given first, keeping Vata and Pitta in mind.

Herbs & Lifestyle for Better Sleep

Ayurvedic care for insomnia also involves simple lifestyle changes and soothing herbs. Traditionally these may help support:

Ashwagandha

Traditionally used to reduce stress.

Jatamansi

Traditionally used to calm the mind.

Tagara

Traditionally used to promote deep sleep.

Regular Routine

A steady daily routine for body and mind.

Less Night Screen Time

Limiting screens in the evening to wind down.

Meditation

Calming practices to ease the mind before sleep.
