🌿 Ayurvedic Remedies for Stress & Anxiety – A Complete Guide 🌿By Dr. Jasnas Ayurveda
In today’s fast-moving world, stress and anxiety have become part of daily life. Whether it’s work pressure, family responsibilities, financial concerns, or constant screen time — the mind and body often feel drained. Over time, this can lead to insomnia, high blood pressure, weakened immunity, and even heart disease.
✨ How Ayurveda Sees Stress
According to Ayurveda, imbalance in the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — leads to mental and physical distress. Stress is most often linked to a Vata imbalance (restlessness, overthinking, poor sleep), but aggravated Pitta (anger, irritability) and Kapha (lethargy, depression) also play a role. The goal is to restore balance naturally.
