How Do I Overcome Claustrophobia Naturally? - #15605
I’ve struggled with being claustrophobic for as long as I can remember. Elevators, small rooms, and crowded spaces make me panic. My heart races, my hands get sweaty, and I feel like I can’t breathe. It’s getting worse, to the point where I avoid certain places or situations just to prevent that feeling. I know that claustrophobia is considered an anxiety disorder, but I don’t want to take medication unless I have no other choice. I’ve been researching natural ways to manage it, and I came across Ayurveda. Can Ayurveda help with claustrophobia, or is this just a psychological issue? I read that certain herbs like Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Jatamansi help calm the nervous system. Has anyone tried these for anxiety? Do they actually work? Are there specific meditation or breathing techniques in Ayurveda that can help reduce panic in situations where I feel claustrophobic? Also, is there a deeper reason why some people develop claustrophobia? Could it be linked to an imbalance in Vata or Pitta dosha? If so, are there specific lifestyle or dietary changes that can help with anxiety disorders like this? I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully managed claustrophobia naturally. What worked for you? Were there any specific Ayurvedic treatments or techniques that helped you stay calm?
