I am experiencing over thinking on everything, all the time. So I cannot sleep properly, cannot concentrate on any work. I feel drowsy when excessive thoughts come. What is the solution? I had thyroid - TSH was 11, diagnosed 3 years back. Allopathy medicine caused me heart palpitation so I stopped medicine. Is this because of thyroid I am facing this issue? I do alunom vilom , kapal bhati pranayam but it relaxes me for few hours only. Pls advise.

Overthinking can often lead us to sleep deprivation. Good sleep is a reaction of a healthy body, eating a light meal. When we eat something heavy it does not allow our body to relax as it makes our body tired by the metabolism process. Eating light is healthy for body and mind.
External sources of stress are also the cause of not getting sound sleep. We have to work here in all the ways to heal our sleeping pattern. The main thing here is, it should be about everything, food, meditation, sleep and exercise which amalgamate for good health.
Eat:
The first thing in the morning is to start your day with something light in nature. Easy to digest is what your breakfast should be because they are the kind of nutrients that get absorbed easily. Even the early morning ritual should include consumption of two-three glasses of warm water will help in flushing out all the toxins.
The ideal diet would be to depend on fruits and raw vegetable intake for at least one month and refrain from something oil-based.
- One inch of ginger boiled in two cups of water with one tablespoon lemon, boil them for 5-10 minutes before hitting the bed, as this helps in soothing nerves and relax your mind.
- Eating mineral-rich food like flax seeds, chia seeds, walnut and almonds make our brain stronger and prevent neuro-degeneration which overthinking causes.
Exercise:
- Pranayam helps in detoxifying the body. Practising it early morning in an area which has good sunlight will help in improving blood circulation.
- Suryanamaskar, daily 12 sets will help in increasing the blood circulation of your body.
- Do 15-minute stretches before hitting the bed, to allow your body to go under healthy rest.
Meditation:
In any kind of disease, stress comes complementary to it. But with our assurance and positive attitude, we can treat anything. The best thing to start with is breathing mindfully before sleeping with the help of music to stay positive. In a room take a bowl of water and add two-three drops of orange or lavender essential oil. This will help in soothing you and the aroma will relax you and keep you away from any kind of disease.
Use a 15-minute relaxation technique before sleep by hearing a piece of soothing music and deep breathing will help in relaxing your mind.
Take a head massage an hour before sleep, coconut oil preferable.
A positive attitude will help you to deal with everything in life.
Sleep:
Sleeping for at least 7-8 hours is really helpful in dealing with any problem. Sleep is our body's natural response and helps the body to heal. Sleep relaxes the muscles and strengthens our body. During sleep, our body goes into a repair mechanism where it heals itself.
Hopefully, these suggestions will help you.
Thank you.
Hello Amit,
Overthinking, anxiety, depression are all the indications about your bad mental health which may be because of thyroid as it results in hormonal imbalance. It is mainly due to incorrect lifestyle and incorrect eating habits like having a high fatty diet, not taking enough sleep which results in increased stress levels, etc. But everything can be cured naturally by making just some small changes in the daily routine and eating habits.
Here are a few tips that will surely help you:
Meditation
Meditation is the ultimate key to achieving good mental health.
Just like our physical health, our mental health is also equally important and meditation is the best to achieve the same.
Give 20 to 25 minutes from your busy day for meditation. Practice it in sukhasana or padma asana and concentrate on your breathing.
Daily meditating will surely lead to a healthy and happy mind.
Diet
Diet also has an impact on our mental health as our metabolism depends on the foods that we have which in turn affects the hormonal secretions.
- Drink a glass of warm water with lemon juice in it in the morning on an empty stomach. This will help to boost the metabolism at the start of the day.
- Have soaked raisins and other dry fruits to get the easily absorbable nutrients.
- Eat sprouts, nuts, beans and salads.
- Include Vitamin C in your diet like blueberries, amla, orange or lemon as they have antioxidant properties.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day to eliminate the toxins out of the body and to be hydrated.
- Avoid dairy products and animal products as they are not meant for the human digestive system and hence it results in the accumulation of toxins in the body.
- Avoid processed, packaged and preserved foods as they have bad effects on our digestive system.
Yoga
Daily yoga is very effective for achieving a good balance between the mind, body and soul.
- Practice suryanamaskar daily.
- Do bhujanga asana, paschimottan asana, gomukha asana and padahasta asana.
- Do pranayam regularly for 15-20min, specially anulom-vilom and kapalbhati pranayam.
- Take sunrays early in the morning.
Sleep
The quality and pattern of the sleep also determine the state of our mental health as it affects the circadian rhythm and in turn the hormonal balance. Sometimes, lack of proper also leads to mental illness.
So, take proper sleep of at least 8 to 10 hours daily.
Avoid electronic devices like mobiles, laptops, computers, tv, etc at least 1hour before sleeping to improve the quality of sleep.
Thank you
हेलो,
कारण - मानसिक स्वास्थ्य विकार सूचक है इस बात का की सिर में ऑक्सीजन और रक्त का संचार ठीक प्रकार से नहीं हो पा रहा है। रक्त और ऑक्सीजन के संचार में कमी होने का मुख्य कारण पाचन तंत्र में अम्ल का बढ़ना है। जैसे वायुमंडल में हवा दूषित होने पर ऑक्सीजन की मात्रा कम हो जाती है उसी तरीके से शरीर में अम्ल की मात्रा बढ़ने से ऑक्सीजन और रक्त की संचार में कमी आती है।
प्राकृतिक जीवन शैली को अपनाकर इसे पूर्ण रूप से ठीक किया जा सकता है इसको ठीक होने में 8 से 10 महीने का समय लग सकता है।
समाधान - भ्रामरी प्राणायाम,ताड़ासन, नटराजासन, वृक्षासन,हस्तपादासन, सर्वांगासन, हलासन, पवन-मुक्तासन, अनुलोम-विलोम प्राणायाम करें।
प्रतिदिन आप ख़ुद को प्यार दें अपने बारे में 10 अच्छी बातें कोरे काग़ज़ पर लिख कर और प्रकृति को अपने होने का धन्यवाद दें।
मानसिक समस्या भी इसी शरीर की समस्या है सब कुछ इस बात पर निर्भर करता है कि हम किसी भी परिस्थिति में सकारात्मक सोंच रखते हैं या नकारात्मक।
प्राकृतिक जुड़ाव आपको सकारात्मक सोंच प्रदान करेंगी क्योंकि प्राकृतिक जीवन शैली अपने आप में पूर्ण भी है और जीवंत भी है। पाँच तत्व से प्रकृति चल रही है और उसी पाँच तत्व से हमारा शरीर चल रहा है।
जीवन शैली - 1 आकाश तत्व- एक खाने से दूसरे खाने के बीच में विराम दें। रोज़ाना 15 घंटे का उपवास करें जैसे रात का भोजन 7 बजे तक कर लिया और सुबह का नाश्ता 9 बजे लें। वाद्य यंत्र शास्त्री संगीत (instrumental classical music)सुनें।
2 वायु तत्व- लंबा गहरा स्वाँस अंदर भरें और रुकें फिर पूरे तरीक़े से स्वाँस को ख़ाली करें रुकें फिर स्वाँस अंदर भरें ये एक चक्र हुआ। ऐसे 10 चक्र एक टाइम पर करना है। ये दिन में चार बार करें।
अपने कमरे में ख़ुशबू दार फूलों को रखें।
3 अग्Iनि तत्व- सूर्य उदय के एक घंटे बाद या सूर्य अस्त के एक घंटे पहले का धूप शरीर को ज़रूर लगाएँ। सर और आँख को किसी सूती कपड़े से ढक कर। जब भी लेंटे अपना दायाँ भाग ऊपर करके लेटें ताकि आपकी सूर्य नाड़ी सक्रिय रहे।
4. सर पर सूती कपड़ा बाँध कर उसके ऊपर गुड़हल(hibiscus) के पत्ते का पेस्ट लगाएँ।
पैरों को 20 मिनट के लिए सादे पानी से भरे किसी बाल्टी या टब में डूबो कर रखें। नहाने के पानी में ख़ुशबू वाले फूलों का रस मिलाएँ। नींबू या पुदीना का रस मिला सकते हैं।खाना खाने से एक घंटे पहले नाभि के ऊपर गीला सूती कपड़ा लपेट कर रखें या खाना के 2 घंटे बाद भी ऐसा कर सकते हैं।
मेरुदंड (स्पाइन) सीधा करके बैठें। हमेशा इस बात ध्यान रखें और हफ़्ते में 3 दिन मेरुदंड का स्नान करें। मेरुदंड स्नान के लिए अगर टब ना हो तो एक मोटा तौलिया गीला कर लें बिना निचोरे उसको बिछा लें और अपने मेरुदंड को उस स्थान पर रखें।
सर पर सूती कपड़ा बाँध कर उसके ऊपर खीरा और मेहंदी या करी पत्ते का पेस्ट लगाएँ,नाभि पर खीरा का पेस्ट लगाएँ।पैरों को 20 मिनट के लिए सादे पानी से भरे किसी बाल्टी या टब में डूबो कर रखें।
5 पृथ्वी- सब्ज़ी, सलाद, फल, मेवे, आपका मुख्य आहार होगा। आप सुबह खीरे का जूस लें, खीरा 1/2 भाग धनिया पत्ती (10 ग्राम) पीस लें, 100 ml पानी मिला कर पीएँ। 2 घंटे बाद फल नाश्ते में लेना है।
दोपहर में 12 बजे फिर से इसी जूस को लें। इसके एक घंटे बाद खाना खाएँ। शाम को नारियल पानी लें फिर 2 घंटे तक कुछ ना लें। रात के सलाद में हरे पत्तेदार सब्ज़ी को डालें, नारियल की गिरि मिलाएँ।
लाल, हरा, पीला शिमला मिर्च 1/4 हिस्सा हर एक का मिलाएँ।इसे बिना नमक के खाएँ, बहुत फ़ायदा होगा।सेंधा नमक केवल एक बार पके हुए खाने में लें। जानवरों से उपलब्ध होने वाले भोजन वर्जित हैं।
तेल, मसाला, और गेहूँ से परहेज़ करेंगे तो अच्छा होगा। चीनी के जगह गुड़ लें।
6. एक नियम हमेशा याद रखें ठोस(solid) खाने को चबा कर तरल (liquid) बना कर खाएँ। तरल को मुँह में घूँट घूँट पीएँ। खाना ज़मीन पर बैठ कर खाएँ। खाते वक़्त ना तो बात करें और ना ही TV और mobile को देखें।ठोस भोजन के तुरंत बाद या बीच बीच में जूस या पानी ना लें। भोजन हो जाने के एक घंटे बाद तरल पदार्थ ले सकते हैं।
हफ़्ते में एक दिन उपवास करें। शाम तक केवल पानी लें, प्यास लगे तो ही पीएँ। शाम 5 बजे नारियल पानी और रात 8 बजे सलाद लें।
7. उपवास के अगले दिन किसी प्राकृतिक चिकित्सक के देख रेख में टोना लें। जिससे आँत की प्रदाह को शांत किया जा सके। एनिमा किट मँगा लें। यह किट ऑनलाइन मिल जाएगा। इससे 200ml पानी गुदाद्वार से अंदर डालें और प्रेशर आने पर मल त्याग करें। ऐसा दिन में दो बार करना है अगले 21 दिनों के लिए। ये करना है ताकि शरीर में मोजुद विषाणु निष्कासित हो जाये। इसके बाद हफ़्ते में केवल एक बार लेना है उपवास के अगले दिन। टोना का फ़ायदा तभी होगा जब आहार शुद्धि करेंगे।
धन्यवाद।

Dear Amit,
Thanks for sharing your concern with us. We do empathize with your problem. Overthinking is an indication of stress/anxiety and that in turn leads to insomnia or inability to sleep properly.
To begin with, please understand that as per Nature Cure approach the body is seen as a whole unit and therefore any health issue (physical/mental) is concerned with the overall functioning and internal state of balance. Owing to wrong lifestyle choices, toxins get accumulated in the body and disrupt the internal balance. Our gastrointestinal tract ( GI Tract or GUT) is a long tube inhabited by millions of microbes and about 70% of our health depends on the quality of the gut. These microbes play a crucial role in communicating with the brain. When the sensitive balance of gut flora (microbes) is disturbed it affects our mental health too.
You mentioned you were diagnosed with thyroid. That is also an indication of some kind of hormonal imbalance owing to the accumulation of toxins.
If we support the body with the right inputs in terms of food as well as non-food elements (like sleep, exercise, relaxation etc.) we can prevent and heal physical as well as mental health issues. We would thereby encourage you to adopt a natural lifestyle to deal with your condition. You can explore our Natural Health Coaching Program that helps you in making the transition, step by step.
