Can Ayurvedic Treatment Help Manage OCD Symptoms Naturally? - #1291
I’ve been struggling with OCD for several years now. My mind gets stuck on repetitive thoughts, and I end up performing rituals that don’t make sense, but somehow I can’t resist the urge. I’m on medication, which helps a bit, but I’m looking for a natural, complementary approach that might help me feel more in control without increasing my meds. I came across Ayurvedic treatments and am curious if they can help with obsessive-compulsive behaviors and anxiety. Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments, herbs, or practices known to help manage OCD? I’ve heard that Ashwagandha and Brahmi might be useful, but I’m not sure how they’d fit into a larger treatment plan. Also, is there a particular lifestyle or dietary approach in Ayurveda that might help calm the mind? I’d appreciate advice from anyone who’s tried Ayurvedic approaches for similar mental health issues.
