Addressing anxiety through Ayurveda involves understanding your unique doshaimbalance and adopting a holistic approach. Anxiety often corresponds with aggravated Vata dosha, characterized by qualities like coldness, dryness, and movement. Integrating calming, warming, and grounding practices may help counteract these imbalances. However, it’s essential to continue with any prescribed medications and consult with your healthcare professional before making changes.

To potentially bring balance, consider incorporating ashwagandha, an adaptogen that may promote relaxation and stress resilience. Take about 500 mg of ashwagandha powder with warm milk or water, twice daily. Another consideration is brahmi, traditionally used for its calming effects on the mind. You can prepare a tea from brahmi leaves or use brahmi oil for daily head massages.

Focus on your diet too—favor warm, grounding, and oily foods. Stew vegetables and include warming spices like ginger and falt, while avoiding caffeine, refined sugars, and cold or raw foods. Regular meals support digestive fire (agni), staying on schedule strengthens mental and physical rhythms.

In terms of lifestyle, prioritize routine and stability. Try to sleep by 10 PM, waking up before sunrise to harness Vata-calming morning energy. Incorporate daily practices like Abhyanga, a warm oil self-massage, which helps ground excessive Vata. This can be done in the morning before showering, using sesame oil or olive oil warmed slightly.

Switch gears now – Meditation and Pranayama exercises are excellent tools. Practice deep breathing techniques, like Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana), for 10-15 minutes daily to center your mind and reduce stress levels. Shavasana, the corpse pose, is also beneficial, permitting moments of deep relaxation.

Finally, consider keeping a journal to unwind mental chatter, noting what triggers anxiety and reflecting on gratitude. These small acts of mindfulness can create space for peace. Remember that anxiety, stress, and the journey to balance is personal. Regular consultations with an Ayurvedic practitioner can help tailor treatments precisely to your constitution.
