Anxiety & Low Mood – Ayurveda’s Role in Mental Wellness

1. Introduction – Is Restlessness Your Constant Companion?

Do you often feel sad without a clear reason?
Does your heart race during anxiety, or do you feel a deep sense of unease?
These are not just mental issues — they are linked to physical imbalances too.
Ayurveda defines mental health as Sattvic Stability — a state where mind, body, and soul work in harmony.

2. Ayurvedic View on Mental Health

In Ayurveda, mind and body are inseparable.
The mind is influenced by three Gunas: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.

  • Sattva: peace, clarity, wisdom

  • Rajas: restlessness, hyperactivity

  • Tamas: heaviness, dullness, depression

When Rajas and Tamas dominate, anxiety and low mood appear.


3. Dosha Connection to Mind

  • Increased Vata: overthinking, anxiety, insomnia

  • Increased Pitta: irritability, self-criticism

  • Increased Kapha: lethargy, lack of motivation, depression


4. Common Causes

  • Stress and excessive worry

  • Poor rest and irregular sleep

  • Malnutrition or improper diet

  • Excessive screen time

  • Hormonal imbalance

5. Ayurvedic Solutions

Mind-Body Cleansing: gentle Panchakarma if needed
Sattva-Enhancing Herbs: for mental peace and focus
Yoga & Pranayama: Anulom-Vilom, Bhramari, meditation
Diet: fresh, warm, sattvic foods
Routine: fixed sleep schedule, waking before sunrise


6. Conclusion – Caring for the Mind is Caring for Life

Anxiety and sadness are not weaknesses — they are signals that your life and inner self need attention.
Ayurveda offers ways to restore this balance naturally.
