What is the best Ayurvedic medicine for depression? - #12700
For the past few months, I have been feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally drained, and unmotivated. I don’t feel like doing the things I once enjoyed, and I struggle with anxiety, mood swings, and difficulty sleeping. I don’t want to start taking antidepressants, so I am looking for a natural approach, and I recently came across Ayurvedic medicine for depression. I read that Ayurveda views depression as an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Vata and Kapha, and recommends certain herbs to balance the mind. Some of the Ayurvedic medicines I found include Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Jatamansi, and Vacha, but I am not sure which one is best for me. Do these herbs work individually, or should they be taken in combination? Does Ayurveda also recommend any specific diet, lifestyle changes, or meditation techniques for depression? If anyone has used Ayurvedic medicine for depression, please share what helped you. I really want to heal naturally without depending on pharmaceutical drugs.
