Energy & Focus
Fatigue and scattered attention are addressed with medhya (brain-nourishing) and rasayana (rejuvenating) herbs, taken consistently over weeks rather than as a single dose.
Daily practice
- Morning sunlight and movement before the first screen
- Single-task blocks; Ayurveda treats attention as a digestible input
- Avoid caffeine after midday to protect the following night
