Bipolar BPAD Traditional Natural Ayurveda Herbal Treatment and Management

Author : Gurnam Saini  

 

 

Bipolar Affective disorder, BPAD is a psychological condition characterized by the episodic fluctuations in the moods and the energy and activity levels of a person.

 

 

 

BPAD is also sometimes referred to as manic-depressive illness. Due to these abnormal shifts in moods, the patient finds it difficult to perform the daily tasks. This condition can have a detrimental effect on the personal, academic, and professional performance of an individual.

 

The patients experience alternating episodes of mania and depression. The aim of Ayurvedic natural medication for bipolar would be to help minimize the intensity of these episodes and have a longer period of normal mood and allowing a person lead a normal and stress-free life. During the manic episodes, they may develop the following symptoms:

 

  • Racing thoughts

  • An inflated sense of self-confidence and self-esteem.

  • A feeling of euphoria

  • Impaired judgment

  • Excessive talking

  • Aggressive behavior

 

The symptoms during the depressive episodes may include:

 

  • Extreme sadness

  • A feeling of despair or hopelessness

  • Suicidal thoughts or tendencies

  • Insomnia

  • Anxiety and guilt

  • Low attention span

 

Natural Ways To Help your Mental wellbeing during Bipolar Disorder

 

Ayurveda recommends the use of natural mood stabilizers for bipolar to help the patients maintain the balance of emotional and intellectual functions of the brain and manage the symptoms of this condition. This is done by addressing the imbalcne of Vata dosha in the body and mind. Some of these herbs that have been used traditionally in Ayurveda to balance the vata dosha are described beneath:

 

 

Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi): It is considered to bring clarity in thinking and may help stabilise mood. 

 

Tagar (Valeriana officinalis): It is considered to produce a calming effect on the nervous system and may help to relieve the symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, and depression.

 

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): This herb has been used widely in ayurveda and now becoming a popular in pharmacies to support the functions of the brain and it may help to improve the memory, attention span, and concentration levels. Brahmi may also be effective in relieving stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue.

 

Vacha (Acorus calamus): This herb helps to control the symptoms in the manic as well as depressive episodes of bipolar disorders. It reduces stress and fears and also improves the functions of the brain.

 

 

Can Bipolar Be Treated Naturally?

 

Most patients want to know can bipolar be treated naturally. The Ayurveda herbs similar to mentioned above, along with diet and lifestyle changes may be able to help control the symptoms of this disease. Additionally, Ayurveda also recommends the use of yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises to relieve the stress and anxieties and attain a state of serenity, which can be highly beneficial in controlling the symptoms of this condition.

 

Ayurvedic Treatment of BPAD is based on the concept of Tridosha. It is believed to be the result of the imbalance in the Vata dosha. This condition also exhibits some recognizable factors related to the Pitta during manic episodes and the Kapha during the depressive episode. However, the Vata dosha is predominant in the development of this disorder.

 

The Vata imbalance is manifested as expansion, excessive movements, changeability, instability, insomnia, rapidly changing thoughts, fears, restlessness, hopelessness, and an over-stimulation.

 

The Ayurvedic treatment is aimed at improving the overall health of a person by making healthy changes in the dietary habits and lifestyle of the patient. The alternative treatments for bipolar are aimed at treating these symptoms in a holistic manner.

  • 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.

  • 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 🙌🏽

  • I was suffering from headaches for the past 5-6 years which lasted more than a day. Sometimes it was so severe that I had nausea and vomiting. Tried a lot of medications but they did not help. Then I thought of trying Ayurveda as my last remedy. 2 months with Gurnam Saini and I have no headaches. My sleep has also improved. I’m still continuing to improve my overall health as the medicine seems to work for me. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to improve their overall health and well being.

  • 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.

  • My four year old picked up a nasty viral cough every six-eight weeks lasting 2+ weeks each time. This has gone on FOR YEARS. Too many sleepless nights to count. She’s now on her third month of Ayurved treatment, and so far she hasn’t picked up so much as a runny nose. She’s still attending the same daycare, same level of exposure. Only now her immune system is strong enough to cope. We can’t thank you enough Dr. Gurnam.

  • 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.

  • Hello all, I have been consulting Dr. Saini for past 2years or so and have found his treatment very helpful and effective. He has a deep knowledge of Aryuveda and listens to your health issues, doubts and concerns patiently and advices Aryuved herbs and gives advice accordingly. He is kind and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Dr. Saini to anyone who is looking for treatment for their health issues or improving their overall health.

  • I’m very happy with the treatment and medication given by Dr. Saini to heal De Quervain tensosynovitis. Pain was really too bad , I couldn’t stretch my thumb or move my wrist. On my third and final day of treatment I completely forgot I had an injury on my wrist because after the second treatment I had zero pain. Thank you so much Dr.Saini.


    Suni Koshy

  • I decided to take my 10 yr old daughter to Dr Saini after 9.5 yrs of struggling with eczema and food intolerances, and no solutions found but topical, long term use of cortisone creams. After only one month, we saw massive improvements in her skin, finally clearing up the majority of her eczema. This was done with herbal capsules and without needing to remove various foods from her diet. That improvement allowed us to tackle other health concerns like her consistent disturbed sleep. Now 4 months on, her skin is perfect, and her sleep is mostly uninterrupted. Any sporadic nighttime waking is for a very short period of time. And even better, now we can focus on her digestion which is my last concern for her. I can’t recommend Ayurvedic medicine enough to gently and naturally heal and balance out your body. l had done lots of reading on Ayurveda before we tried it, and all my expectations have been met and I’m sure will be exceeded in the near future. Thank you Dr Saini, for your kind and gentle consultations, and genuine interest in better health outcomes for your patients.

  • 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.

  • I cannot recommend highly enough. This has been my first experience with Ayurvedic medicine and the Panchakarma cleanse and I can finally say that after years of striving for better health and wellbeing, I finally understand what is going to work for me moving forward. Having experience a traumatic event and subsequent PTSD 5 years ago, my gut and my body became increasingly compromised. In this time I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome and various ailments of the gut. I came to see Dr Saini and Pooja at a time that I felt frustrated with my years of work to see some more obvious progress with my healing. Having completed the Panchakarma cleanse, I am feeling fully renewed. Awake. Settled. I no longer struggle to wake each morning and get through each day. My appetite feels steady and all cravings have completely ceased. I now have some tools under my belt to fall back on when I know my digestive system needs a break. This cleanse has been a complete game changer. Thankyou Dr Saini and Pooja for you incredible guidance and support. Liz

  • 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.
