How does depression Ayurvedic treatment work, and what are the best natural remedies? - #12895
I have been struggling with stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalance, and while I have considered conventional antidepressants, I want to explore depression Ayurvedic treatment as a natural and holistic alternative. I read that Ayurveda treats depression by addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, but I want to understand how this works. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda sees depression as a result of Vata and Kapha imbalances, which affect mental stability, emotional well-being, and brain function. But how do Ayurvedic depression treatments work? Are there specific herbs like Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Jatamansi that can naturally relieve stress and improve mood? I also want to know whether Ayurvedic treatments for depression include therapies like Shirodhara, Abhyanga, and Panchakarma detox for emotional balance. Has anyone successfully managed depression using Ayurveda? What remedies or lifestyle changes helped you the most?
