Ayurveda on Trauma

If you’ve ever been through a highly stressful event, series of events or abuse at any time in life, you’ve been through a traumatic experience. A feeling of helplessness, horror, and in some cases, the challenges of a serious injury (or the threat of one) are commonly experienced after these events.

Trauma leaves its physical impact as physical pain and psychological tension that is not the result of any other medical condition. This can happen anywhere in the body, and for trauma survivors, it is most commonly held in the core of the body, the stomach, abdomen, and low back, as well as the upper torso, chest, shoulders, and spine.

Sometimes there are no apparent physical effects but the need to protect oneself from perceived threats is stored in the memory and emotional centers of the brain, such as the hippocampus and amygdala, leading to specific emotions and behaviors.

Research says that trauma, especially complex PTSD, can change the brain chemistry and structure.

But help and hope is available.
