Ayurvedic Perspective on Insomnia

According to Ayurveda, insomnia (Anidra) is primarily caused by an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas. Vata governs the nervous system and when Vata aggravates it causes restlessness and racing thoughts, preventing sleep. Similarly, Pitta imbalance results in excessive heat in the body. This disturbs the natural sleep cycle. Ayurveda integrates therapies, herbal medication, yoga, diet and lifestyle changes to balance doshas.
