I cannot sleep without sleeping pills. Is there an Ayurvedic solution?

This is a Vata-Pitta condition with significant anxiety component, common in your age group. Coming off benzodiazepines requires a careful taper — don't stop abruptly. Recommended Ayurvedic adjunct protocol while you taper (under both your psychiatrist's and an Ayurvedic doctor's supervision): Ashwagandharishta 15ml after dinner; Brahmi Ghritam 1tsp before breakfast; Padabhyanga (foot oil massage) with sesame oil for 5 minutes before bed; Shirodhara protocol planning with a CCIM doctor — 7-14 sessions usually produce profound sleep-quality improvement. Lifestyle: Last meal by 7 PM, screen-out 90 minutes before bed, dark and cool bedroom. Realistic timeline: Most patients achieve medication-free sleep in 3-6 months with consistent practice. Please don't attempt the taper without medical supervision.
