Depression is more than sadness; it is a deep imbalance that affects the mind, body, and spirit. While conventional treatments often focus on antidepressants, Ayurveda offers a holistic way to address depression at its root cause.
In Ayurveda, depression is considered the result of Kapha imbalance, sometimes combined with disrupted Vata and Pitta. This imbalance leads to heaviness, lethargy, and loss of interest in daily life. At Dr. Nambiar's Advanced Ayurveda, depression is approached by rejuvenating the body, uplifting the mind, and nurturing emotional well-being.
Herbal medicines like Brahmi, Ashwagandha, and Guduchi are used to improve energy, balance neurotransmitters, and uplift mood. Panchakarma therapies such as Virechana (therapeutic purgation) help eliminate toxins, while Shirodhara provides deep relaxation, reducing mental fog and sadness.
Ayurveda also emphasizes lifestyle corrections – maintaining regular sleep, practicing yoga, and engaging in meditation are vital steps. Foods that are light, fresh, and sattvic are suggested to promote positivity and energy.
The Ayurvedic path to treating depression is not about masking symptoms but reviving inner strength and self-awareness. If you or someone close to you is struggling with low energy and hopelessness, Dr. Nambiar's Advanced Ayurveda offers personalized treatment plans that can restore emotional balance and vitality.
