Excessive work stress and anxiety are often linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs the mind and nervous system. Overthinking and fear about future can over-activate this dosha, leading to mental turbulence. To address this, focus on grounding practices and lifestyle adjustments. Start with your daily routine; establish a consistent schedule for waking up, meals, and sleep, as Vata thrives on routine.
Diet plays a role here too. Opt for warm, nourishing foods, like cooked grains, stews, and warm milk. Spices such as cumin, coriander, and ginger can help enhance digestion and calm the mind. Avoid cold, raw, or dry foods which can aggravate Vata. Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can stabilize nerves and reduce anxiety. Practice it daily or at least thrice a week, spending 15-20 minutes massaging your body before a warm bath.
Breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing) can help calm mind and reduce stress levels. Spend 10 minutes each day practicing this breathing technique, especially in the morning or before bed. Yoga asanas such as Child’s Pose, Standing Forward Bend, and Legs-Up-The-Wall pose can also calm the mind—try to incorporate these into your daily routine.
Herbal remedies like Ashwagandha and Brahmi can be supportive for reducing anxiety. Consult with a qualified practitioner to find the correct dosage for your specific constitution.
Meditation is beneficial too. Starting or ending the day with 5-10 minutes of stillness can create a sense of inner peace and help manage stress. While these practices are helpful, if you feel the anxiety overwhelming, it may be beneficial to seek professional mental health support in conjunction with these Ayurvedic practices for balanced approach.
