Ayurveda- What Causes Mental Disturbances
 

Ayurveda links mental disturbances with the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body. Clinging on to negative emotions and not being able to vent them out results in this accumulation.  To treat such conditions one should be able to contact one’s own mental awareness, bring it into balance and channelise that balance to the body. 

Ayurvedic Medicine For Mental Health

Ayurveda recommends several methods of managing mental health. These remedies combined together may work in the direction of correcting the imbalances in the state of mind. 

Dincharya (Daily-regimen) - Our routine has a deep influence on the state of our mind.
