Arrhenphobia - #3839

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had this intense fear of men, which I recently learned is called arrhenphobia. It’s not just being shy or uncomfortable—it’s a full-blown panic response whenever I’m around men, especially strangers or in crowded places. Even at work, if there’s a male colleague nearby, I can’t focus on what I’m doing, and my heart starts racing. It’s gotten so bad that I avoid certain situations, like meetings or social gatherings, altogether. I’ve been reading about how Ayurveda approaches mental health, and I’m wondering if there’s a specific treatment for arrhenphobia. Are there herbs or therapies that can help calm the mind and reduce this fear response? I’ve seen mentions of Ashwagandha and Brahmi for anxiety, but I don’t know if they’re effective for something as specific as arrhenphobia. Does arrhenphobia happen because of a dosha imbalance? If so, how can I identify and correct it? Are there any dietary changes or lifestyle habits I should adopt to support my treatment for arrhenphobia? I’m open to trying meditation or yoga too, if that would help. If anyone has experienced arrhenphobia or treated it through Ayurvedic methods, I’d love to hear your insights. How long does it take to notice any improvements, and are there any side effects to worry about with Ayurvedic remedies? I really want to address this issue, but I’m not sure where to start or what approach to take.
