Ayurveda Approach to
Anxiety and Stress Reduction

Ayurveda and Anxiety

 

Anxiety is a Vata imbalance as per Ayurveda.

Anxiety feels like bad nervous energy, butterflies in the stomach, pounding heart, worried thoughts, or outright panic. It clouds our judgement and even disturbs our life in its highly imbalanced state.

While there are views that some anxiety can have a positive impact, such positive perspective of anxiety is not easily perceived by those suffering from anxiety.

Using its psycho-physiological tools, Ayurveda provides a concrete approach to manage, reduce and even get rid anxiety. It offers profound treatments like Shirodhara to assist on this journey.
