Got it â your brotherâs case is mainly **Vata aggravation** (restlessness, overthinking, excessive mental chatter) with some **Pitta aggravation** (anger, irritability), plus a **sensitive digestion** and tendency to develop cough when taking certain calming medicines.
That means we have to take a **gentle, harmonizing approach** that calms Vata *without* overwhelming digestion or creating excess mucus (Kapha). This is often where people go wrong â many anti-anxiety herbs like Ashwagandha, Shankhpushpi, or Brahmi are heavy and can slow digestion if given without balancing herbs.

## **Step 1 â Ayurvedic Medicines & Churnas**
Weâll focus on *lightly warming* and *Vata-calming* remedies that are digestion-friendly and avoid increasing Kapha.
### **Morning (empty stomach)**
* ******Ghrita** â 1 tsp in warm water or warm milk
â Nourishes nerves, calms Vata, and supports mild Pitta balance *without* clogging digestion if taken in small dose.
*(If digestion is very weak, start with ½ tsp.)*
---
### **After breakfast & dinner**
* *************** (Baidyanath or AVP) â 1 tablet
â Balances Vata & Pitta in mind, reduces anxiety, overthinking, and improves sleep.
*(Start with once daily for 4â5 days, then increase to twice daily.)*
---
### **Midday (before lunch)**
* ******** â 10 ml with equal warm water
â Improves mood, memory, and mental stability.
*Mildly warming, so it wonât create cough like Brahmi syrup might.*
---
### **At bedtime**
* ****** Churna** â 1 gram (¼ tsp) in warm water or warm milk
â Strong Vata pacifier, helps deep rest.
*Avoid more than 1 gram if digestion is weak.*
---
## **Step 2 â Supporting Digestion**
Since anxiety medicines can sometimes slow Agni (digestion), we balance them with mild deepanaâpachana herbs:
* **Before meals** â 1 pinch each of **dry ginger powder** + **ajwain** + **rock salt** in warm water.
â Improves digestion without irritating Pitta too much.
---
## **Step 3 â Food & Lifestyle**
* **Warm, lightly spiced meals** â khichdi with a little ghee, vegetable soups, moong dal, upma, soft roti with subji.
* Avoid **cold drinks, raw salads at night, leftover food, excess caffeine**.
* Gentle **abhyanga** (warm sesame oil massage) before bath 2â3Ã per week.
* **Evening routine** â avoid screens 1 hr before sleep; mild music, pranayama (alternate nostril breathing).

## **Why cough happens**
When heavy cooling herbs (Brahmi, Mandukaparni, Shankhpushpi) are given to a Vata-Pitta type with low Agni, they slow digestion â undigested ama + Kapha â cough, phlegm.
Thatâs why here we use **slightly warming + light** herbs (*, *) and keep doses small.

If you want, I can prepare **two different churna blends** for him â
one for **daytime focus & calm** and another for **night relaxation** â that will be both Vata-pacifying and digestion-friendly. That way you wonât have to juggle too many separate medicines.
Do you want me to make those custom churna formulas for you?
