The Ashwagandha and Brahmi combination for hypervigilance described in this article is interesting to me because both herbs have reasonably solid research on cortisol modulation. The Ayurvedic framing of it as Vata vitiation in the nervous system is different language for something that might overlap with the neuroscience.

ptsd requires trauma-apecialized psychological treatment (EMDR, CPT, PE therapy). Ayurveda as a primary treatment for PTSD is inappropriate and potentially harmful to suggest.
