First thing, it's important to look at the root cause of depression through the Ayurvedic lens. Ayurveda considers depression as an imbalance in the doshas, primarily the Vata and Kapha. This imbalance can be exacerbated by lifestyle, diet and stress factors. Let's dive into some practical strategies that can help balance these.
Start with daily routine. Ayurveda strongly emphasizes the significance of a consistent daily schedule or "dinacharya". Waking up and going to bed at more or less same time everyday helps in setting your body's natural rhythm. Try to wake early, around sunrise if possible, as this time holds positive energy and attentiveness.
Now, about your diet. It’s vital to consume warm, nourishing foods that pacify Vata and Kapha. Think about incorporating warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. Include more cooked foods like soups and stews, which are easier to digest. Avoid cold foods and beverages as they might aggravate imbalances. Don’t skip meals, especially during breastfeeding, as nourishment is important for both you and the baby.
Herbal remedies can be quite supportive for balancing the mind. Consider Ashwagandha, a rejuvenating herb that helps in calming the mind and promoting strength and vitality. Since you are breastfeeding, always consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbs to ensure safety for your baby.
Engage in stress-reducing activities. Yoga and pranayama (breathing techniques) can be incredibly grounding and soothing for the mind. Simple asanas like Child's Pose or Corpse pose can help ease anxiety. Pranayama exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can calm the nervous system.
Meditation can also be a helpful tool. Even if it's only 5-10 minutes a day, find a quiet space where you can sit and focus on your breath or use guided meditations available online for support.
Engage in self-massage with warm sesame oil (known as abhyanga) it can be incredibly grounding for Vata dosha, promoting relaxation and better sleep.
Finally, social interaction, though challenging right now, can slowly be reintroduced in small increments. Maybe start with a phone conversation with a trusted friend, or a brief walk outdoors to enjoy some fresh air and sunlight, which are natural mood lifters. Balance and moderation are key steps.
Remember, these steps can complement your current treatment, but ensuring you have community and support from family, friends or a professional in mental health is also important. If ever in doubt, always prioritize checking with healthcare professionals.
