In Ayurveda, the mind (Manas) is considered equally important as the body. A disturbed mind
can manifest as physical illness and vice versa. Ancient texts define mental health as a
balance between the three Gunas (qualities of the mind): Sattva (clarity), Rajas (activity), and
Tamas (inertia).
When Sattva dominates, the mind remains calm, stable, and joyful. Psychological imbalances
occur when Rajas and Tamas overpower Sattva, leading to conditions such as anxiety,
depression, insomnia, and more.

Common Psychological Disorders Addressed in Ayurveda:

 Anxiety (Chittodvega)

Depression (Vishada)

 Insomnia (Anidra)

 Mood swings

Phobias and panic disorders

Stress and burnout syndrome

 Obsessive behaviors

Post-traumatic stress

Root Causes According to Ayurveda:

Imbalance of Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), particularly aggravated Vata

Improper diet and erratic lifestyle

Suppressed emotions or unresolved trauma

Weak digestion (Mandagni) leading to Ama (toxin) accumulation

Disruption of Prana Vata (mental energy flow)

Understanding Psychological Wellness in Ayurveda

 Ayurveda views the mind as governed by three fundamental qualities or Gunas:

Sattva: purity, clarity, harmony

Rajas: activity, desire, restlessness

Tamas: inertia, darkness, confusion

A balanced mind is predominantly Sattvic, resulting in mental clarity, calmness, compassion,
and contentment. Imbalances occur when Rajas and Tamas dominate, leading to various
psychological disturbances.

Welcome to Chintamani Multi Speciality Clinic, your trusted destination for holistic health and wellness. Located in the heart of Wakad, PCMC, our clinic integrates the timeless
wisdom of Ayurveda with modern healthcare to provide comprehensive, patient-centered treatments.

1. Stress and Anxiety (Chinta, Udvega)

  • Excessive Rajas leads to restlessness, overthinking, and nervous system imbalances. Symptoms may include insomnia, fatigue, headaches, palpitations, and digestive
    issues.
  • Ayurvedic Approach: Adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Brahmi, Shirodhara, Nasya, and Abhyanga therapies, lifestyle changes with Dinacharya, meditation and Pranayama.

2. Depression (Mano-avasad)

  • Predominance of Tamas results in heaviness of the mind, lethargy, hopelessness and lack of motivation.
  • Ayurvedic Approach: Uplifting herbs like Vacha, Jatamansi, and Guduchi, Panchakarma detox and Rasayana therapy, sun exposure, movement therapy, Sattvic diet and routine.

3. Insomnia (Anidra)

  • Caused by aggravated Vata dosha and Rajas in the mind, insomnia often leads to
    irritability, fatigue, and reduced focus.
  • Ayurvedic Approach: Oil massages (Abhyanga) with calming herbs, herbal teas, warm
    milk with nutmeg, lifestyle discipline, screen detox, mantra chanting, and yoga nidra.

4. Memory Loss and Poor Concentration (Smriti Bhramsha)

  • Can arise from imbalances in all three doshas and weakening of Ojas (vital essence).
  • Ayurvedic Approach: Medhya Rasayanas like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, Nasya therapy and head oiling, balanced diet rich in ghee and herbs, mental exercises, and mindful
    practices.

The Role of the Heart and Gut in Mental Health

Ayurveda recognizes the deep connection between the Hridaya (Heart) and Agni (Digestive
Fire) with mental well-being. Improper digestion leads to toxin accumulation (Ama), clouding
the mind and emotions. A healthy gut is essential for mental clarity and emotional balance.

Panchakarma for Psychological Rejuvenation

Specially designed detox therapies like Takradhara, Shirodhara, and Nasya are powerful
tools to balance the nervous system and clear emotional blocks, helping cleanse the mind
and body of deep-seated emotional toxins.
