Anxiety and other disorders related to the mind can only be treated when you make up ur mind to get rid of them.

❌ Try and avoid the trigger factors as much possible. Anxiety is a state of mind which you can surely control by altering your thoughts…

Just note the patterns n timings of the feeling and make yourself busy in that time… If you have nothing to do at that time simple do some physical activity or go for a walk or if it is possible for you concentrate on your breath(which most of the people find difficult to do)

🧘‍♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.

❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.

❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.

❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive… too much motivation can also cause depression.

✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.

✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.

✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.

✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.

Hello Rushiraj,

Your symptoms - anxiety, panic attack, fear, and overthinking especially in someone with a vata dominat prakriti like yourself

Understanding your symptoms in Ayurvedic view

ANXIETY, FEAR, PANIC= vata dosha imbalance in the mind and nervous system

OVERTHINKING, RESTLESSNESS= aggravated prana vata, a subdosha of vata

NO BODY CONTROL, SHAKINESS= vata causes erratic nerve impulses, weakness

COLD HANDS/ FEET, INSOMNIA= classic sign of vata excess

LONG STANDING FEAR SINCE CHILDHOOD= suggests a manasika dosha(mental constitution) that is rajasika, sensitive, and unstable under stress

Vata is dry,light,cold,mobile and irregular. When increased due to stress, irregular lifestyle, lack of sleep, improper diet , vata moves uncontrollably in the nervous system, creating -chanchalatva(restlessness) -bhrama(confusion) -udvega(anxiety) -bhaya(fear) Hence ayurvedic treatment aims to ground,warm,nourish and stabilize vata

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

In Ayurveda, your high Vata constitution makes you more prone to anxiety and restlessness, as Vata dosha, when imbalanced, is responsible for such conditions. To address your anxiety and panic attacks, consider implementing these Ayurvedic strategies that focus on balancing Vata:

1. Ashwagandha, known for its calming properties, can be particularly beneficial. It is a powerful adaptogen that helps alleviate stress and anxiety. Taking 500 mg of Ashwagandha with warm milk before bed may ease your symptoms by promoting a sense of calm and increasing quality of sleep.

2. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is another herb to consider. It helps enhance cognitive function while soothing nervous tension. You can take Brahmi in powder or capsule form. A daily dose of around 250-500 mg is advisable, taken with warm water or ghee.

3. Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi) is an excellent herb for reducing stress and anxiety. It has sedative properties and can be used in powder form, about 500 mg-1 gram per day with warm water, preferably at night to aid sleep.

4. Dietary changes can also support your treatment. Incorporate warm, nourishing, and slightly oily foods to calm Vata, like soups, stews, and root vegetables. Avoid cold, raw, or processed foods as they exacerbate Vata imbalance.

5. Maintain a regular routine. Having set meal and sleep times stabilizes Vata and fosters a calm mind. Engaging in calming practices such as yoga or Pranayama breathing exercises can be very helpful.

Please remember these recommendations serve as a potential aid in conjunction with professional guidance. Seek an Ayurvedic physician to tailor these suggestions further, ensuring they align with your specific balance of doshas and constitution type. If your symptoms become severe or unmanageable, prioritize seeking immediate medical attention to ensure safety and optimal care.
