What is deaddiction, and how does Ayurveda help in addiction recovery? - #13659
I’ve been researching natural ways to overcome addiction, and I keep coming across the term deaddiction in various health discussions. I understand that deaddiction refers to the process of overcoming substance dependence, whether it’s smoking, alcohol, or drug addiction, but I’m curious about how different treatment approaches work, especially in Ayurveda. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda treats addiction as an imbalance in the mind and body, using herbal medicines, detox therapies, and meditation to help cleanse toxins and calm the nervous system. Herbs like Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Shankhpushpi are often recommended to reduce cravings, anxiety, and withdrawal symptoms. Has anyone undergone deaddiction treatment using Ayurveda or natural methods? How effective was it, and what specific herbs or therapies helped the most? Also, how long does it take to see real improvements when quitting an addiction with Ayurveda? Another thing—does Ayurveda address the psychological aspect of addiction, or is it mostly focused on detoxifying the body? If anyone has successfully gone through a deaddiction program, I’d love to hear your experience!
