To be effective in treating stress, it is vital to be individualistic. The Ayurvedic approach is to target the contributory factors and then bring that area into balance. There are three major different manifestations of stress from the perspective of Ayurveda¬mental, emotional, and physical. Each requires its different solutions and therapies. Mental stress: according to Ayurveda, this is basically caused by an overuse or misuse of the mind. For example, if you perform intense mental work many hours in a day, or if you do your work long hours on the computer, it can then cause an imbalance in praana vaata, the mind-body factor concerned with the brain activity, energy and the mind. The first symptO,pl of praana vaata imbalance is losing the great ability to handle stress. As you become to more stressed, it alters to mental functions such as dhi, dhriti, and smriti, or acquisition, retention, and ability to think positively, to feel keen, and even to fall asleep at night. To treat with mental stress, you begin just by managing these mental activity. Secondly, you can then take some measures to pacify praana vaata.
• Favour vaata-balancing foods, these such as sweet, sour, and some salty tastes. • Favour warm milk, ghee, and other some light dairy products. • Sleep well, minimum eight hours a day. • Perform a full-body warm oil massage with ksheerabala tailam or dhanwantari /' tailam everyday. • Try meditation.
Emotional stress can be basically caused by problems in a relationship, the loss of a relative, or any situation that might get hurt the heart. Emotional stress shows up as irritability, depression, and very emotional instability. It affects to sleep in a different way than mental stress-it causes you to being wake up in the night and not be able to sleep again. With emotional stress, the treatment is quite different. Emotional stress then disturbs saadhaka pitta, the mind-body factor concerned with the emotions and functioning of the heart.
