Ayurveda has some supportive preparations that may help reduce anxiety and improve sleep in OCD, but they are not proven to cure OCD. Commonly used options include Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Jatamansi, Shankhpushpi, and Saraswatarishta, usually under an Ayurvedic doctor's guidance. These may help calm the mind, but should not replace standard or prescribed medicines. Always consult your doctor before starting Ayurveda, especially if you are already on psychiatric medicines.
