Anxiety and Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, anxiety is classified as Citto Udvega, and is also normally linked with toxin or waste product accumulation in the body, as well as exhaustion. The toxins are caused by negative emotions, causing negative imbalances, and thus, toxins. We need to bring the body and mind back into balance. A vata imbalance is normally the culprit of anxiety, but is influenced by many different factors (e.g. stress, diet, toxins, and digestion) and body types, and thus different Ayurvedic treatments may be offered to each individual.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatments for Anxiety

There are several methods for tackling anxiety, each made unique to the individual, and combined can correct the imbalances in the mind. It includes dincharya (daily routine), meditation, yoga and specific to the individual herbal capsules. Other elements from Ayurvedic lifestyle are also included, for example food recipes, spices, shirodhara, and Ayurvedic massage.

Shirodhara is the process of pouring liquids over the forehead of the individual. It can include oil, buttermilk, coconut water, and so on…depending on the client’s needs and unique treatment requirements. It is also used to treat many other ailments other than anxiety.

Also used is Shirobasti, where the oils used (again, specific to the person, and also medicated) are kept on the head for a prescribed period of time using a waterproof cap.

Furthermore, Nasya can be used to clear the respiratory tract and head. The Ayurvedic oil medication is administered through the nasal cavity and is a Panchakarma treatment. Panchakarma is known for increasing overall health and contains five actions, Nasya being one of them.
