I'm wondering if it's okay to get uttar basti administered a few hours after dinner, maybe around bedtime. Is it safe or effective to do it at night before sleeping?

Yes, you can undergo uttar basti at night after 3 hours of dinner. It is recommended to have a light meal before the procedure. For men, uttar basti can be undertaken at night before sleep. You can use the Ayurvedic medicine brand "Dhanvantaram" for uttar basti administration. The recommended dosage is as per the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

I'm curious if there's a treatment or cure in Ayurveda that could help with this. Could anyone provide some guidance on this?

I've been thinking about using ashwagandha, shatavari, kaunch beej, and safed musli powder as supplements, but I'm worried about how safe they are for my liver and kidneys if I take them for a long time. I'm 24, male, and unmarried. Could you let me know if it's safe and how I should take them?

As a 24-year-old male, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Kaunch Beej, and Safed Musli powder are generally considered safe for kidneys and liver in moderation; to use them long-term, consult an Ayurvedic expert for personalized guidance, but a common approach is to cycle them for 3-4 months, followed by a 1-2 month break, and start with a small dose (12 teaspoon) twice a day, mixed with milk or water, and gradually increase as needed and under expert supervision.

I'm dealing with chronic anxiety and the allopathic treatment I'm on doesn't seem to be doing much for me. Is there something Ayurveda offers that could help with anxiety?

In Ayurveda, there are several herbs and formulations that can help in managing anxiety. One commonly used herb is Ashwagandha, which is known for its calming effects. You can try taking Ashwagandha capsules or powder, usually in a dosage of 300-500mg twice a day. Another herb is Brahmi, which is also beneficial for reducing anxiety. Brahmi capsules or powder can be taken in a dosage of 300-500mg twice a day. Jatamansi is another herb that is used in Ayurveda for anxiety. You can take Jatamansi capsules or powder in a dosage of 250-500mg twice a day. It is important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to get the right dosage and combination of herbs for your specific condition.
