tripofobia - #18018

I don’t know when it started, but every time I see clusters of tiny holes or patterns, I feel this intense discomfort, almost like my skin is crawling. Things like honeycombs, lotus seed pods, or even zoomed-in images of pores make me feel uneasy. Sometimes, I get this weird sensation that the patterns are spreading or that something is crawling under my skin. It’s not just mild discomfort—it feels like a deep fear that I can’t control. I recently found out that this is called tripofobia. I’ve never had any other major phobias, and I don’t remember any specific incident that could have triggered this. But the reaction is real—sometimes I feel nauseous, my heartbeat increases, and I even get headaches if I look at certain images for too long. I read online that tripofobia isn’t officially classified as a phobia, but it definitely feels like one. I don’t want to keep avoiding things just because they have certain patterns. Since Ayurveda focuses on mind-body balance, is there any natural way to manage tripofobia? Can Ayurvedic treatments help with such fears and anxiety? I’ve heard of herbs like Brahmi and Ashwagandha being used for mental calmness—could they help in reducing the intensity of my reaction to tripofobia? I also wonder if my diet or lifestyle is making this worse. I noticed that when I’m stressed or haven’t slept well, my reaction to tripofobia is stronger. Does Ayurveda suggest any specific foods or breathing techniques to calm the nervous system? Could meditation or yoga help reduce my sensitivity to these patterns over time? I don’t want to rely on medication or therapy alone if there’s a natural way to manage this. Has anyone used Ayurveda to deal with tripofobia or other phobia-like conditions? What actually worked, and how long did it take to see a difference?
