Anxiety and Depression

Ayurveda Treatment for Depression and Anxiety

At Atharva Ayurveda Clinic, we believe that mental well-being is the foundation of a healthy and fulfilling life. Anxiety and depression are increasingly common in today’s fast-paced world, affecting emotional balance, physical health, relationships, and overall quality of life. Through the wisdom of Ayurveda, we offer a natural, holistic, and personalized approach to help individuals regain mental clarity, emotional stability, and inner peace.

Rather than merely suppressing symptoms, Ayurveda focuses on identifying the root cause of mental distress and restoring harmony between the mind, body, and nervous system.

Understanding Anxiety & Depression in Ayurveda

According to Ayurveda, mental health is governed by the balance of the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — along with the strength of the mind (Manas) and nervous system.

• Vata imbalance often leads to anxiety, fear, restlessness, overthinking, and insomnia

• Pitta imbalance may cause irritability, anger, frustration, and emotional intensity

• Kapha imbalance is commonly associated with depression, low motivation, lethargy, sadness, and emotional heaviness

Stress, emotional trauma, irregular lifestyle, lack of sleep, poor digestion, unhealthy food habits, and continuous mental pressure can disturb this balance, resulting in anxiety and depressive disorders.
