Hi,
Thanks for writing to us
I have gone through your problem. Well your main issue of startle with sound or light even when you can anticipate the event as per Ayurveda can be taken under manovah rog. There is no physical abnormality to account for it but the XXXXXXX seated fear of subconscious holds back. This is lack of confidence. I usually advise my patients to change the version that you startle with every sound. Start feeding your mind with positive thoughts that such sounds are immaterial and have no value for me. Don't be an escapist , face the life with courage, fill your mind with blessings of God and not with short comings, by not enjoying the happiness bestowed upon you. Your mind forces you to grumble over every situation. Socialize with friends , have a hearty laugh. When you take up the challenges you find the solutions also. Start new life from today and live in present only. In medical world it is mind over body and have a robust mind which never seeks help or sympathy from any quarters. You are supreme. Minor short comings are the base to develop greater abilities needed to work wonders, develop them.
This is the way to weave a positive attitude in your mind . In ayurveda there is a complete range of herbs which boost your confidence and make your mind strong thereby curing problems like kesar , Brahmi, shankh pushpi, jatamansi, ashwagandha,malkangini,ajwain khurasani, XXXXXXX moti, etc. are a few commonly used ingredients in such medicines. Amongst medicines Brahmi vati with gold, Cap. Bravobol, saraswat arisht will offer good cure. Add kesar to your glass of milk.
As you are having this problem from last many years, I will also advise you to have body massage and specially shirodhara from some panch karma centre. This will ensure quick progress.
Wishing you a healthy life,
Dr. Rajesh Lakhanpaul

Welcome again.
Gotu Kola is the other name of Brahmi - I have already mentioned in my reply about this. The medicines suggested by me have this as major ingredient.
The same herb is also called as saraswat. As a single ingredient if you get this herb fresh, then this herb is very good. In olden times people use to crush this fresh herb, add almonds to it and crush them together. It can be added to milk and taken as milk shake. In this form it is better as preventive or tonic.
As far as medicines is concerned, it is better to have compounds as suggested in my previous mail.
If you have full faith, self confidence, practice my words and have these medicines, you will be fine very soon.
Positive mood, enjoying nature and environment, pleasure in mind, smile on face and dream to govern will acts as supreme force and give you confidence to surpass odds and capacity to work wonders. This will ensure a life at better platform where there is no trace of fear but language of pleasure to fill every moment with enthusiasm.
Wish you best of health.
Best Regards

Hi,
I am glad I was able to help you.
The dose is one tab. Brahmi with gold twice a day, Cap. bravobol twice a day and saraswat arisht 2 tea spoon mixed with equal quantity of water twice a day.
As far as duration is concerned, you will feel better in a short span but this should be taken for a longer period say two months. There are no side effects even if taken over still longer period.
wish you best of health.
Hope that helps
