Anxiety and panic can be challenging to manage, but incorporating authentic Ayurvedic principles can help balance your mind and body. The root cause needs to be addressed - often connected to Vata dosha imbalances which can lead to mental unrest and disturbance. Firstly, diet plays a vital role. Consume warm, nourishing meals, rich in good fats like ghee, warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or turmeric before bed can help soothe your mind and promote better sleep. Avoid stimulants like caffeine, especially in the evening, as they can exacerbate anxiety and disturb sleep. Next, consider incorporating self-massage (Abhyanga) into your routine. Use warm sesame oil; it will ground and calm Vata dosha. Try this in the morning and allow few minutes before showering. Take it slowly, focusing on mindfulness during the process. When it comes to yoga and meditation, start with small, achievable steps. Gentle asanas or even just simple stretches can be effective. Use breathwork (Pranayama) like Nadi Shodhana (alternative nostril breathing) to help center your mind. Even if 5 minutes are challenging at first, consistency is key, allow progress over time rather than pressure to perfect it. Herbal support can often provide much-needed relief. Consider herbs like Ashwagandha to support stress relief, Brahmi for enhancing mental clarity, or Shankhapushpi for promoting calmness. It's recommended to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for appropriate dosages and suitability for your constitution. Finally, establish a consistent sleep routine. Try going to bed at same time each night, winding down with calming activities like reading or listening to soft music, falling asleep in dark, quiet environment can make a good difference. For immediate or severe episodes of anxiety, aryurveda recommends seeking professional medical advice to ensure comprehensive care is attained. Stay vigilant in allowing both self-compassion and external support.
