Doctors’ responses
Anxiety and psychiatric issues such as delusion and bipolar disorder can be quite complex and often require a comprehensive approach to treatment. Ayurveda views mental health through the lens of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas—the three gunas (qualities) that govern the mind. An imbalance in these qualities can lead to mental health issues, and it’s crucial to address both the physical and mental aspects for effective healing.
If you’ve experienced loose motions while using Ayurvedic treatments, it could be due to a few factors, such as sensitivity to certain herbs, an imbalance of Pitta dosha, or the use of potent detoxifying herbs that might be too strong for your system. It’s essential to work closely with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor the treatment to your specific constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalances (Vikriti).
To manage anxiety and related psychiatric issues, consider using herbs like Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri). Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that helps the body cope with stress, while Brahmi supports cognitive function and mental clarity. You may start with smaller doses of these herbs to assess your tolerance. Additionally, Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi) is known for its calming properties and can help with anxiety.
Lifestyle practices, including daily meditation, Pranayama (breath control), and yoga, can also significantly contribute to mental well-being. Regular practices can help stabilize the mind and promote relaxation, reducing anxiety symptoms over time. Following a routine that includes wholesome, nutrient-dense foods can further support mental health.
Addressing delusions and bipolar-like symptoms requires a comprehensive approach. While Ayurveda offers supportive remedies and therapies, it’s important to continue working with mental health professionals who can provide additional support and monitoring. Combining Ayurvedic practices with conventional therapy may provide the best outcomes for managing your condition.
Please consult an Ayurvedic doctor to examine you properly and guide accordingly as these conditions need thorough analysis according to Ayurvedic principles.
Loose motions while taking ayurvedic medicines might be a sign that your agni, or digestive fire, isn’t handling the herbs well. Maybe it’s too strong, too weak, or just kind of imbalanced. In Ayurveda, we really emphasize understanding these things, since our body’s ability to digest and absorb is crucial.
In your case, there’s a chance the herbs or treatments prescribed might be too cleansing or heating, especially if your vata dosha is high. That could be causing these reactions. It’s super important to discuss this with an Ayurveda practitioner who’s familiar with your specific dosha and constitution. They might need to adjust the herbs or the dosage, or maybe even change the formulation completely. You’re unique, so your treatment needs to reflect that.
And anxiety, delusions, or bipolar disorders are complex, deep-rooted issues. Ayurveda can definitely be part of the journey to healing by balancing doshas and promoting a sattvic (calm, balanced) mind, but it’s not an overnight fix. Therapy, counseling, lifestyle changes, and sometimes allopathy are often in that mix.
For now, be mindful of your diet and lifestyle. Avoiding raw and cold foods which might aggravate vata, and including warm, nourishing foods could help. Maybe incorporate yoga and meditation, these are beneficial for settling the mind. And don’t forget proper rest is crucial, often underestimated in our busy lives. And always keep your healthcare provider in the loop about any symptoms or side effects you’re experiencing.
This sounds complex and it kind of is. Balancing all this requires a nuanced approach. But you’re on the right track by seeking solutions and understanding how Ayurveda can play a part.
