Anxiety, fear - #754

The persistent feeling of health anxiety, despite being physically well, is often linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs the nervous system and the mind. This overactivity of Vata can lead to overthinking and unnecessary worry. I recommend Brahmi and Ashwagandha to calm the mind, reduce anxiety, and stabilize Vata. Jatamansi is also beneficial for its grounding and calming effects. Practicing daily Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil can help calm the nervous system. Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation and Pranayama (breath control) to bring mental clarity and reduce overthinking. Additionally, following a Vata-pacifying diet—warm, nourishing foods—and maintaining a regular routine can help balance the mind and body. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized regimen is advised.
