Anxiety Treatment in Ayurveda
Anxiety is a feel of worry or apprehensiveness about a certain situation or the outcome of the situation. Everyone feels anxious at some point of their life. The feeling of anxiety can be high during stressful moments like exams, starting a new job, making a life-changing decision, or loss of a loved one. Anxiety is mostly triggered by external situations and a person’s reaction to the situation. It is normal for everyone to feel anxious. But, for some people, anxiety is constant, which keeps them from enjoying their daily life and even having a normal relationship with people around.

Anxiety treatment in Ayurveda first involves identifying the type of anxiety disorder and its cause. Anxiety treatment in Ayurveda, no matter what type it is, involves ensuring the patient gets good sleep, strict diet, and proper regimen. These basic practices go a long way in reducing panic attacks and decreasing the intensity of anxiety attacks. Herbs such as ashwagandha, brahmi, mandukaparni, yashtimadhu, jatamamsi, amla, vacha etc have been found effective in reducing the symptoms of anxiety and relaxing the body and mind.
At Brahmasutra Ayurvaidyasala, we use a combination of physical therapy, counselling and herbal medicines to provide treatment for anxiety. In Ayurveda, we focus on treating the cause of the problem, so that the results are reliable and long-lasting.
