What Is the Best Ayurvedic Medicine to Increase Serotonin, and How Does It Work? - #12038

Anonymously

I’ve been reading a lot about serotonin and its role in mood regulation, and I want to know more about how Ayurveda helps boost serotonin levels naturally. What is the best Ayurvedic medicine to increase serotonin, and how does it work to improve emotional well-being? From what I understand, serotonin is a neurotransmitter that affects mood, sleep, and appetite. What Ayurvedic herbs or formulations can help stimulate the production of serotonin naturally? I’ve heard that herbs like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and St. John’s Wort can be helpful. How do these herbs support the nervous system and promote a balanced mood? Are there any specific Ayurvedic treatments or lifestyle practices that can help increase serotonin levels, such as meditation, yoga, or aromatherapy? What is the best way to consume these Ayurvedic medicines—as powders, teas, or capsules—and how often should they be taken for optimal benefits? Lastly, are there any side effects or contraindications when using these remedies to increase serotonin, particularly for those with existing mental health conditions or on medication?

Ayurveda naturally enhances serotonin levels through herbs, diet, and lifestyle practices that balance the mind and nervous system. Herbs like *Brahmi*, *Ashwagandha*, *Shankhpushpi*, and *Jyotishmati* support mental clarity, reduce stress, and nourish the brain. Brahmi calms the nervous system, Ashwagandha reduces cortisol (stress hormone) and enhances mood, while Shankhpushpi promotes relaxation and cognitive balance. Meditation, pranayama, and yoga (especially Anulom Vilom and Bhramari) stimulate serotonin production by calming the mind. Aromatherapy with essential oils like sandalwood and lavender also uplifts mood. These herbs are best consumed as powders, decoctions, or capsules, usually once or twice daily as per individual needs. However, those with existing mental health conditions or on antidepressants should consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before use to avoid interactions or excessive sedation.
