According to Ayurveda, stress and anxiety are often caused by an imbalance in Vata dosha (air & space elements). Vata governs movement, nervous system activity, and mental agility. When aggravated, it leads to restlessness, fear, and racing thoughts. Depression, on the other hand, is often linked to an imbalance in Kapha dosha (earth & water elements), causing heaviness, lethargy, and sadness.
First try to be mentally strong by making this changes
1. Gratitude Practice
Write down 3 things you’re grateful for every morning or night. This rewires the brain for positivity.
2. Limit Social Media & Negative News
Reduce exposure to negative news and excessive screen time that can contribute to stress.
3. Express Emotions Through Journaling
Writing your thoughts and emotions in a journal can help release mental burdens and bring clarity.
4. Mindfulness & Positive Thinking
Observe your thoughts without judgment.
Replace negative self-talk with affirmations like:
"I am calm, strong, and in control."
"Everything is happening for my highest good."
5. Connect with Supportive People
Spend time with friends, family, or a support group who uplift you.
Engage in acts of kindness to shift focus away from stress.

Hi Kaifi,
Can you tell me if there are any specific triggers for your anxiety, like certain situations or people? Do you notice any physical symptoms when you're feeling stressed, such as tension in your body, trouble sleeping, or heart palpitations? Have you tried any lifestyle changes, like exercise or meditation, to help manage your anxiety?
In Ayurveda, anxiety and depression are often related to imbalances in Vata and Pitta doshas, which affect the mind and emotions. I recommend using Ashwagandha and Brahmi to calm the mind and improve focus. Jatamansi is also helpful for reducing stress and anxiety. Practicing daily meditation or Pranayama (breathing exercises) can help ground your mind, and a warm, nourishing diet with foods like soups, stews, and herbal teas can help stabilize your mood. Consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance.

When dealing with depression, anxiety, and stress, Ayurveda provides a comprehensive approach to find balance by understanding your unique constitution, or prakriti. It's essential to identify which doshas (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha) are imbalanced in your situation. For many experiencing anxiety and nervousness, Vata dosha might be elevated, affecting your mind and body stability.
Start by looking at your daily routine. Regularity can stabilize Vata, so try to maintain consistent times for waking up, eating, and sleeping. Rise early, ideally by 6 a.m., to align with the body’s natural rhythm. Make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep per night; sleep is restorative for the nervous system.
Include grounding and warm foods in your diet—think cooked vegetables, grains like rice, and nourishing soups. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods that might aggravate Vata energy. Spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom can aid digestion and stabilize the mind.
Engaging in practices like yoga and pranayama can be significantly helpful. Deep breathing exercises, such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) and Bhramari (bee breath) helps calm the mind and balance the nervous system. Try meditative mindfulness with a focus on gratitude—a few minutes each day to reflect on positive aspects can counter negative thought patterns.
Consider using herbal supplements with caution, under professional guidance. Ashwagandha is known for its adaptogenic properties which might enhance your stress resilience, while Brahmi can support mental clarity.
Massaging the body with warm sesame oil, particularly on the head and feet, at bedtime can be deeply soothing. Incorporate this 2-3 times a week. It assists in grounding your energy and reducing stress levels.
Ensure that you connect with nature, spend time outside in daylight, which improves the mood. If these interventions do not provide relief after some weeks, it may be wise to reconsult a healthcare professional. Prioritize immediate medical help if your condition intensifies. Balancing your life with these Ayurvedic steps might serve well, yet occasionally, modern medicine and therapy offers essential support for conditions like yours.
