How Does Our Anxiety Treatment Benefit You?

Anxiety is a feeling of fear, dread and uneasiness; which is a reaction to stress. This may cause a person to sweat, feel restless and tense, accompanied with raised heart rate. For some people this feeling may be normal and important for making quick decisions; but for some people this may be overwhelming. There are various anxiety disorders, in which these feelings become worse and its symptoms may affect daily activities such as job performances, school work and relationships. The causes of anxiety are genetics, over stress, over-thinking, brain biology & chemistry, etc. During anxiety, a person may feel shortness of breath, changes in behavior, rapid heart-beat, unexplained pains, nausea, etc.
‘Chittodvega’ is the term for anxiety in the ayurvedic text. It is characterized by a psychological and physiological state that has cognitive, somatic, emotional and behavioral components. This is caused due to accumulation of toxins in the body and emotions. This comes under manasa roga in ayurveda, which is complicated and exact cause cannot be noted.
The treatment for anxiety in ayurveda focuses on clearing the toxins from the body and stabilizing the emotional state of a person. The line of treatment involves Nidana parivarjana, Panchakarma procedures followed by samana chikitsa, which involves procedures like- abhyanga, snehapana, shiroabhyanga, shirovasti, shirodhara, Pichu, takra dhara, nasya karma, etc. This is accompanied by the yogic practices that help in clearing the emotional ama and proper counseling does reverse the process of anxiety easily.

Types of anxiety disorders

  1. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): This condition is normal when a person is over occupied with tension regarding health, money, relationships, work and family. Even little things provoke over response to feelings.
  2. Panic disorder: It is a type of anxiety disorder that is characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of excessive fear, which is accompanied by physical symptoms that include chest pain, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath, dizziness or abdominal discomfort.
  3. Phobias: Also known as social phobia, is an anxiety condition marked by intense self-consciousness and overwhelming anxiety in daily social interactions. Social phobia can be restricted to a single circumstance - such as a fear of speaking in official or informal settings, or of eating or drinking in front of others - or, in its most extreme form, can manifest itself nearly wherever a person is among other people.
  4. Post-Traumatic Stress disorder (PTSD): PTSD is an anxiety condition that can develop after being exposed to a traumatic incident or encounter in which significant bodily injury happened or was threatened. Violent Personal attacks, natural or human-caused disasters, accidents, or military conflicts are all examples of traumatic events that can lead to PTSD.
  5. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD): OCD is an anxiety condition marked by recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive activities (compulsions). Hand washing, counting, checking, and cleaning are common repetitive habits conducted in the hopes of preventing or removing obsessive thoughts. However, executing these so-called "rituals" only gives momentary respite, and failing to do so significantly increases anxiety.

Treatment

Ayurvedic anxiety disorder therapy provides a holistic approach to an individual's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These qualities have an influence on prana vata, a vata dosha subtype that is worsened by stress, anxiety, and depression. Prana vata causes mental imbalance by weakening the nerve system. The neuro-hormonal system and nerve impulses are also weakened. Ayurvedic therapy for anxiety disorder would entail reducing aggravated prana vata and boosting sattva guna, which entails self-realization and self-control, as well as proper dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
The line of treatment involves Nidana parivarjana, Panchakarma procedures followed by samana chikitsa, which involves procedures like- abhyanga, snehapana, shiro abhyanga, shirovasti, shirodhara, Pichu, takra dhara, nasya karma, etc. This is accompanied by the yogic practices that help in clearing the emotional ama and proper counseling does reverse the process of anxiety easily.

Anxiety Treatment, Naturally

Root Cause Treatment

“The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”

Wisdom of Ayurveda

“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”

More Than Just Medicines

"Heal your body naturally with 5000-year-old knowledge of Ayurveda and Modern Science. From its authenticity, structured approach and personalisation play a very important role in complementing the effect of medicines as well as sustaining the benefit of treatment after the medicines have ended."
