What Is Stress According to Ayurveda?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn Ayurveda, stress and anxiety are primarily associated with an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system. When Vata becomes aggravated, it leads to restlessness, fear, insomnia, and anxiety. The goal of Ayurvedic treatment is to bring Vata back into balance through calming foods, lifestyle practices, herbs, and therapies.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
