How Does the Nervous System Work, and What Are the Best Ways to Keep It Healthy? - #14472

Anonymously

I have been feeling frequent stress, nerve pain, and brain fog, and I want to understand how the nervous system works and what can be done to improve its health. Some people say that breathing exercises help, but I am unsure whether diet, exercise, or supplements play a bigger role. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, controlling movement, sensations, and automatic body functions. Common issues affecting the nervous system include neuropathy, stress-related nerve damage, and degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s. Many experts recommend B vitamins, magnesium, Omega-3 fatty acids, and meditation for nerve health. However, I want to know whether herbal remedies like Ashwagandha or Ginkgo Biloba can truly improve nerve function. For those who have worked on improving nervous system health, what helped the most in reducing stress, enhancing brain function, and preventing nerve damage? Would love insights into the best natural and medical ways to support the nervous system.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, the nervous system is governed by Majja Dhatu (nerve tissue) and is closely linked to Vata dosha. When Vata is aggravated due to stress, poor sleep, or nutritional deficiencies, symptoms like nerve pain, brain fog, and anxiety arise. Strengthening the nervous system requires a combination of Rasayana (rejuvenating) herbs like Ashwagandha for stress relief, Brahmi for mental clarity, and Shankhpushpi for cognitive function. A diet rich in healthy fats (ghee, nuts, sesame seeds) and warm, grounding foods helps nourish Majja Dhatu. Daily Abhyanga (oil massage with sesame or Mahanarayan oil), meditation, and pranayama (Nadi Shodhana) are essential for calming the nerves. Reducing caffeine, processed foods, and overstimulation further supports long-term nerve health.
