Ayurveda links mental disturbances with the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body. I am clinging to negative emotions, and being unable to vent them out results in this accumulation. To treat such conditions, one should be able to contact one's mental awareness, bring it into balance, and channel that balance to the body.
Ayurveda For Mental Health
Ayurveda recommends several methods of managing mental health. These remedies combined may work toward correcting the imbalances in the state of mind.
Dincharya (Daily regimen) - Our routine profoundly influences the state of our mind. Getting up with the sun, eliminating toxins, cleaning the body, and beginning the day with worship promote purity in mind, body, and emotions. Selection of the right food according to body type, utilizing the time in the right manner, and staying away from self-indulgence all contribute to a balanced state of mind.
Meditation- It is the first and last remedy of Ayurveda and is the path to self-realization. It teaches one to rise above the actions and reactions of the mind and experience the stillness in self.
Herbal Preparations- Herbal preparations termed "Medhya Rasayanas" help stabilize the mind. They may help nourish the neurological tissues and raise the levels of intellect.
