Ayurvedic Medicine For Anxiety

 

In everyday life, people suffer from frustrations, hassles, anxiety, demands and work deadlines, so stress becomes a part of our life most of the time. Normal stress or anxiety is not bad for the health unless it causes a hindrance in the daily routine and quality of sleep. Relaxation and adequate sleep remove most of the stress from the mind and prepare the person for next-day activities.

 

When stress causes a hindrance in routine work and a person becomes irritable, anxious and feels restlessness, sleeplessness or experiences other stress and anxiety symptoms, medical attention becomes important.

 

Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain. It disturbs the person's natural physical and psychological balance and causes some psychosomatic health problems in the body.

 

What Causes Stress or Anxiety

 

Mental stress or anxiety can sometimes happen without any triggers or reason but may often be associated with the following causes:

 

  • Constant unmanageable family problems
  • Unhealthy daily routine
  • Over workload
  • Sometimes leading to negative changes in life, such as losing a job, illness or divorce
  • Mental trauma due to losing a loved one or family member etc.

 

Natural Ayurveda Stress and Anxiety Remedy

 

Ayurveda, the science of life, may effectively manage stress and anxiety naturally. This ancient healthcare discipline is an amalgamation of treatments and remedies for over 5000 years.

 

According to Ayurveda, a person leading a healthy, stress-free life has the following main characteristics:

 

  • Healthy eating and sleeping habits
  • Good Memory
  • Self-awareness
  • Enthusiasm
  • Sharp intellectual functioning etc.

 

Symptoms of Stress and Anxiety

 

The following list some of the common symptoms and signs of stress:

 

  • Anxiousness
  • Seeing only the negative aspects
  • Concentration problem
  • Poor judgment
  • Worrying
  • Irritability
  • Inability to relax
  • Unhappiness
  • Body ache due to unknown reason
  • Sometimes rapid heartbeat during the panic phase

Natural Anxiety and Stress Management with Ayurveda

 

The Ayurveda pathway is based on balancing mind and body senses of humour or doshas to naturally alleviate anxiety and stress symptoms. In addition to this, Ayurveda also recommends relaxation therapies such as Shirodhara, and Ayurvedic body massage, along with organic Indian herbs and Ayurvedic medicines used traditionally in lowering stress.

 

Traditional Ayurveda Natural Herbal Remedies for Stress and Anxiety

 

The herbs that stabilise the mind have been classified as Medhya Rasayanas in Ayurveda manuscripts. These herbs are used in Ayurveda preparations that serve as nervine tonics. The therapeutic benefits of such Ayurveda medicines and herbs include improvement in memory and concentration, peace of mind, natural nourishment of the brain and alleviation of nervous behavioural disorders. 

 

The following herbs have been used traditionally in Ayurveda to reduce stress and anxiety and restore mental health and well-being:
 

- Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Jatamansi (Nardostachys chinensis)

- Turmeric (Curcuma Longa)

- Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri)

- Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis)

- Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza Glabra)

- Vacha (Acorus Calamus)

- Mandukaparni (Centella asiatica)

- Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia)

 

Ayurveda Therapies and Panchkarma Treatments are used traditionally for Stress and Anxiety.

 

Most the Ayurveda doctors use Ayurveda therapies or treatments in cases of stress and anxiety.

 

Nasya or nasal instillation

 

Nasya treatment helps to promote mental clarity and reduce stress. In this treatment method, nasal medication serves as a purifying agent for the head and enables to offer clarity of mind.

 

Shirodhara

 

Shirodhara treatment is a traditional ayurvedic therapy used to relax the mind for thousands of years. It helps to cleanse both the mind and the body. In this treatment method, a concoction of herbal oils, medicated milk and medicated water is poured over the forehead for a duration. It is suggested to assist in relieving stress, tension, anxiety and depression and rejuvenating the mind.

 

How to Reduce Stress and Anxiety with Yoga

 

Meditation is a great way to get rid of stress and anxiety. A person suffering from stress disorders and depression should do at least 30 minutes of meditation twice a day, especially since evening meditation is considered more effective in managing stress and depression. It also helps to relax the mind after finishing daily routine work. Sun salutation is a yoga exercise that can be useful in treating anxiety and depression.

 

The other yoga poses include Child's Pose (Balasana), Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana), Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana), Eagle Pose (Garudasana), Corpse Pose (Savasana), Extended Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana), Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose (Viparita Karani), Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana), Cat Pose (Marjaryasana) and Dolphin Pose.

 

Managing Stress and Anxiety Naturally

 

  • Do regular exercises. Exercises are an effective natural remedy to combat stress and depression. Regular exercise boosts the level of serotonin and endorphins in the brain, which helps the person to feel good.
  • Eating well is also a crucial part of stress management. A well-balanced diet keeps the energy level up and reduces mood swings.
  • Take adequate sleep and try to sleep at least 6-8 hours a day. Sleep is a natural remedy for combating depression and anxiety. Sleep deprivation can also cause irritability, sadness, moodiness and body fatigue.
  • Make some strong social connections with people and avoid being isolated from other people. Stay in regular contact with family and friends. Try to spend more time with children and friends.
  • Play an active game in which you have an interest. Playing games are also beneficial in reducing stress and treating depression.

  • I had an absolute life changing experience with Taking an Ayurvedic approach for coming out of my son’s eczema. We were struggling with eczema and other skin concerns for my 4 year old almost since his birth. Had tried all sorts of creams available in the market but every time the flareups were coming back . It is only until Someone recommended us Dr. Gurnam Saini and we were put on Ayurvedic healing path. In 4-5 months his eczema started going away; some stubborn eczema spots disappeared with no flareups, itchiness . I will highly recommend Ayurvedic holistic healing over western medicines.

  • Dr saini, explains very well..has really helped me overcome all health problems I had been facing. Will definitely recommend and safest solution to any health issues..thank you once again for your time and effort.

  • Three weeks after my first visit with Gurnam, I started noticing big differences in the symptoms that I was experiencing as a result of hormonal imbalance, anxiety & stress, sleeplessness, hair loss, diabetes and weight issues. The most noticeable change were my hot flushes. My constant hot flushes (approx every 20-30 minutes) were debilitating and driving me to the point where I was just not going out. I was constantly hot and not sleeping week at all. Within 3 weeks this changed to about 2 during the day and just general warmth overnight, which meant I was sleeping better and not having to get up and cool my face and wash my body before returning to bed. My anxiety levels have been reduced significantly, even though I have still been faced with stressful situations and the hair fall much less. The herbal tea that I make each morning and drink through the day keeps me full and is neutral tasting unlike other ‘tonics’ Ive tried before. I look forward to seeing Gurnam monthly to get my mix of Herbal treatments and feeling better with each visit. Thank you Gurnam 🙌🏽

  • Can't recommend highly enough. After 18 months of working with other health professionals (including doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors and osteopaths), I was finally able to heal my body with simple dietary and lifestyle changes recommended by Dr Saini. Ayurvedic approach tackles not only physical health but also emotional and spiritual, and the herbs and treatments are also tailored to your particular dosha (body type). After working with Dr Saini for a few months I did the Panchkarma cleanse, which I was very skeptical about, but I was amazed that this fixed my gut problems. The treatments during Panchkarma were actually quite amazing - Pooja is a miracle worker and so lovely. Dr Saini's knowledge and client base is very highly regarded in the industry, with other well-known Ayurvedic resorts using this clinic when in Melbourne. Highly recommend.

  • Dr. Gurnam and Pooja both are very knowledgeable and friendly. Ayurvedic treatments provided in the clinic were very effective, specially panchkarma. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking for ayurvedic and natural treatments.

  • I saw Dr Saini in July 2019 for “acid reflux” after suffering of months. I tried different medicines but didn’t work. There was a time I started believing that there was no permanent cure to this disease. Dr Saini is an authentic Ayurvedic doctor. He can do miracles for you. I honestly believe he’s a blessing for the city of Melbourne otherwise it would have been very hard to physically see an Ayurvedic doctor like him. My heart burn got worst with the time & became just unbearable. I couldn’t eat anything or sleep at all. Finally, I found him via google and peoples reviews convinced me to give him a call. He’s an angel & listens everything. He gave me a three month’s plan which I completed happily. But unbelievably my acid reflux reduced 80% within three days & completely gone in five days & it never came back since then. I’m so happy & enjoying my life like I used to. God bless Dr Saini & God bless those who wrote reviews which convinced me to give him a call first time.

  • Dr Saini has been so supportive in working with me to refine my mind, body and spirit to once again be able to consume gluten. Once I was diagnosed as gluten-intolerant, I thought I would never eat gluten again. But by embracing the ways of Ayurveda, I am now eating gluten on a daily basis that is pain free and discomfort free. Joseph Ferguson

I would recommend going here for sure. Thanks Dr Saini! Kat

  • I am very happy with the treatment and thankful for Dr.Saini. I was suffering from psoriasis for past 7 years. I never had such an improvement with any medications before. Psoriasis in my face was completed cleared in first 3 months. And almost 50% improvement in other places of my body in last one month. Ayurveda has a better impact on mind , body and soul rather than harmful anti immune tablets which is used as a medication for the condition. I really appreciate Dr.Saini for the his compassion.

  • Meeting Dr, Saini has been a blessing here in Melbourne. I've always believed in holistic health and I was looking for a practitioner who could not only treat some deficiencies but bring my health up to speed. Dr, Saini is an esteemed Doctor with years of experience in holistic healing globally. I had been in poor health this year however through Pachkarma and Pure herbal Ayurveda Clinic's treatments, there has been a transformation in my overall health, energy and spirit. Highly recommended if you want to transform your health holistically and want to get out of the rut of medications.

  • I highly recommend Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic. I saw Dr Gurnam for 6 months because of increased long term insomnia. The holistic approach offered definately was a huge help. I am able to sleep so much better and my general mental health has dramatically improved. Please consider the ancient practice of Ayurvedic Medicine for any aspect of your health. Dr Gurnam really cares and wants to work with you to give you the best possible health and wellbeing outcomes.
