Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety treatment in Ayurveda first involves identifying the type of anxiety disorder and its cause. Anxiety treatment in Ayurveda, no matter what type it is, involves ensuring the patient gets good sleep, strict diet, and proper regimen. These basic practices go a long way in reducing panic attacks and decreasing the intensity of anxiety attacks. Herbs such as ashwagandha, brahmi, mandukaparni, yashtimadhu, jatamamsi, amla, vacha etc have been found effective in reducing the symptoms of anxiety and relaxing the body and mind.
