Psychosomatic Diseases in Ayurveda: Mind-Body Connection & Holistic Healing

Psychosomatic diseases, which arise due to the interaction between the mind (Manas) and the body (Sharira), are well understood in Ayurveda. Unlike modern medicine, which often treats physical and mental health separately, Ayurveda recognizes that the mind and body are deeply interconnected, and any disturbance in one affects the other.

At EliteAyurveda, under the guidance of Dr. Adil Moulanchikkal, we provide a comprehensive Ayurvedic approach to psychosomatic disorders by addressing the root causes rather than just managing symptoms. Our holistic treatment includes personalized herbal formulations, detox therapies, stress management, and lifestyle modifications to restore long-term balance and well-being.

📜 Ayurvedic Perspective on Psychosomatic Diseases

According to Ayurveda, psychosomatic diseases occur when there is a disturbance in Manas (mind) and Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), leading to physical symptoms.

✔ Manas Doshas (Rajas & Tamas): Imbalance leads to emotional distress, affecting physical health.
✔ Sharirika Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha): Aggravated Doshas manifest as diseases in different organs.
✔ Agni (Digestive Fire): Weak digestion leads to Ama (toxins), which further worsens psychosomatic disorders.
✔ Srotas (Channels of Circulation): Blocked or impaired Srotas disturb the mind-body equilibrium.

“Sarvam Dravyam Panchabhautikam, Sarvam Chitta Prabhavakam”
All physical entities are composed of five elements, and the mind influences all bodily functions.
– Charaka Samhita
