Unmad - #5610
My cousin has been diagnosed with a mental health condition that seems to align with unmad in Ayurveda. He’s been experiencing symptoms like confusion, erratic behavior, and a constant sense of restlessness. While modern medicine has helped somewhat, I want to understand unmad and how Ayurveda addresses it. What exactly is unmad in Ayurvedic terms, and how does it differ from modern psychiatric diagnoses? Does unmad always involve imbalances in the mind, or can it be linked to physical issues too? I’ve read that unmad can be caused by dosha imbalances – is this true, and how is it diagnosed? What are the common treatments for unmad in Ayurveda? Are there specific herbs, therapies, or lifestyle changes that can help manage unmad? For example, would practices like meditation or nasya therapy be beneficial? If anyone has experience managing unmad through Ayurveda, I’d appreciate hearing your insights. How effective were the treatments, and how long did it take to see results?
