Ayurvedic Psychiatry

Ayurvedic psychiatry—described in classical texts under “Manas Roga Chikitsa” (treatment of mental disorders)—focuses on balancing the mind (Manas) along with the body. According to Ayurveda, disturbances in the three gunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas) and the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) contribute to conditions like anxiety, depression, insomnia, and stress-related disorders. Therapies include herbal medicines (such as Brahmi or Ashwagandha), Panchakarma, Shirodhara, yoga, meditation, diet adjustments, and counseling to restore emotional equilibrium. This holistic approach aims to nurture mental clarity, emotional resilience, and overall well-being, complementing modern psychiatric care when guided by our Doctor.
