How Do the 3 Doshas of Ayurveda Affect Mental Health - #2186

Anonymous

I’ve been feeling emotionally out of balance lately, and after some research, I think I might be dealing with an imbalance in my doshas. I have constant mood swings, struggle with anxiety, and have a tendency to overthink things. I’ve been feeling a bit ‘out of control’ in terms of emotions, especially during stressful situations. At first, I thought it was just stress, but now I wonder if my body’s dosha system could be a factor in all of this. From what I understand, Ayurveda talks about 3 doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. I’m not really sure how to identify which dosha might be causing my symptoms. I’m guessing that Vata could be an issue, since I have a tendency to be restless and anxious, but I also have a lot of Pitta-related characteristics like irritability and impatience. Is it possible for someone to have an imbalance of both Vata and Pitta? Can Ayurveda provide guidance on how to restore balance and feel more emotionally stable? I’m looking for practical advice on diet, lifestyle changes, or specific Ayurvedic remedies to help me manage my mental health.

Yes, it is possible to have an imbalance in both Vata and Pitta doshas simultaneously. Vata governs the mind's movement and can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and overthinking, while Pitta governs transformation and can cause irritability, impatience, and anger, especially under stress. Ayurveda can definitely help you restore emotional balance. To calm Vata, focus on grounding practices like meditation, regular routines, and warm, nourishing foods such as cooked grains, soups, and herbal teas. For Pitta, you’ll benefit from cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and dairy, as well as practices that soothe stress, such as deep breathing exercises, evening walks, or relaxing activities. Herbal remedies like Ashwagandha (for Vata) and Brahmi (for Pitta) can also be useful. Restoring balance in your diet and lifestyle will help calm both your mind and emotions, bringing more stability and peace.
