Understanding Anxiety: An Ayurvedic Approach to Emotional Well-being

Anxiety has become one of the most common emotional health concerns today, affecting people of all age groups. While occasional worry is a normal part of life, persistent anxiety—where fear, restlessness, or overthinking take over daily activities—needs mindful intervention. At Sanjeevani Ayurveda, we believe that anxiety is not just a mental disturbance but a sign of deeper imbalance within the mind–body system. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach that calms the mind, strengthens the nervous system, and restores inner balance naturally.

🌿 What Is Anxiety According to Ayurveda?

In Ayurveda, anxiety arises due to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs the nervous system, movement, and mental activity. When Vata becomes aggravated, it leads to:

• Racing thoughts
• Difficulty focusing
• Fear, worry, or restlessness
• Insomnia
• Physical symptoms like palpitations or trembling

Ayurveda works by grounding the Vata imbalance and restoring emotional stability through lifestyle, diet, herbs, and therapies.

⚠️ Common Signs & Symptoms of Anxiety

People experiencing anxiety may notice:

• Constant worrying or overthinking
• Irritability or mood swings
• Sleep disturbances or insomnia
• Panic attacks
• Dryness, constipation, or irregular digestion
• Breathlessness or rapid heartbeat
• Lack of concentration
• Feeling overwhelmed or fatigued

Early recognition and timely healing help prevent chronic anxiety disorders.
