Ayurvedic Treatment for Stress Relief

Stress is a feeling that’s created when we react to particular events. It’s the body’s way of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet a tough situation with focus, strength, stamina, and heightened alertness.

Everyone experiences stress to some degree. The way you respond to stress, however, makes a big difference to your overall well-being. Sometimes, the best way to manage your stress involves changing your situation. At other times, the best strategy involves changing the way you respond to the situation.

The circumstances and pressing factors that cause pressure are known as stressors. We typically consider stressors being negative, for example, a rough relationship or an exhausting job. But anything that puts high demands on you can be stressful and this includes positive events too.

Ayurveda recognizes stress as the cause of numerous diseases. The stress is known as sahasa in ayurveda. Sahasa by causing ojahksaya (loss of immunity) increases the susceptibility of the body to various diseases. Avoidance of stress is the best strategy for treatment and where it is not possible, the body should be well protected by taking appropriate care of the diet and sleep, sleep here indicates adequate rest required by the body.

Ayurveda treatment for stress focuses on holistic healing.
