Best ayurvedic treatment for mental health in Chennai

To promote mental health and prevent illness, there is a need to create such living conditions and environment that support mental health and allow people to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyle. The intake of healthy ‘Ahara’ as per the rules prescribed and adhering to the principles of ‘Dinacharya’, ‘Ritucharya’ , ‘Sadvritta’ & ‘Achara Rasayana’ are the fundamental entities which play a pivotal role in attaining positive mental health. Ayurveda has description of many single drugs and formulations for Psychiatric illnesses like Brahma Rasayanam, Brahmi Ghrita, Kalyankaghritam, Mahakalyanaghirtam, Maha Panchgavya Ghrita, Sarasvata Churna etc

The concept of Dhatusamyata, is also relevant here. It is a state of equilibrium of dhatus, where the word Dhatu stands for Dosha, Dhatu and Mala. It is also the main objective of Ayurveda. The characteristics enumerated under Dhatusamyata encompass the equilibrium state of physical and mental wellbeing and may be considered as the subjective markers for ‘Vikaropashamana’ (alleviation of disease) is as follows

  • Alleviation of pain
  • Appearance of normal voice and complexion
  • Nourishment of the body
  • Increase in the strength
  • Appetite during the meal time
  • Proper digestion of the food taken
  • Getting sleep at appropriate time and waking up without fatigue
  • Absence of morbid dreams
  • Proper elimination of flatus, urine, stool, and semen
  • Unimpaired state of the mind, intellect, and senses
  • Absence of any type of diseases

Exercise and the brain

Mental Health

Exercise helps memory and thinking through both direct and indirect means. The benefits of exercise come directly from its ability to reduce insulin resistance, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the release of growth factors—chemicals in the brain that affect the health of brain cells, the growth of new blood vessels in the brain, and even the abundance and survival of new brain cells. Indirectly, exercise improves mood and sleep, and reduces stress and anxiety. Problems in these areas frequently cause or contribute to cognitive impairment. Exercise stimulates the brain plasticity by stimulating growth of new connections between cells in a wide array of important cortical areas of the brain. From a behavioural perspective, the same antidepressant-like effects associated with “runner’s high” found in humans is associated with a drop in stress hormones.

Yoga and mental health

The literal meaning of Yoga is ‘to join’, that is joining of Mind and Body. Yoga advocates that every life form is interconnected and united the eight limbed path of yoga includes: Yama (moral codes), niyama (self-discipline), asana (postures), pranyama (breath practices promoting life force), pratyahara (sensory transcendence), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (state of bliss).

The application of yoga as a therapeutic intervention began early in the twentieth century, taking advantage of the various psycho-physiological benefits of the component practices. The physical exercises (Asanas) may increase patient’s physical flexibility, coordination, and strength, while the breathing practices and meditation may calm and focus the mind to develop greater awareness and diminish anxiety, and thus results in higher quality of life. Other beneficial effects include, a reduction of distress, blood pressure, and improvements in resilience, mood, and metabolic regulation. It has been found in many researches that yoga have positive effects on mild depression and sleep problems, and it improves the symptoms of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and ADHD among patients using medication.

Some studies even suggested that yoga might affect the body in ways similar to antidepressants and psychotherapy. For instance, yoga may influence brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters (boosting levels of feel-good agents like serotonin), lower inflammation, reduce oxidative stress and produce a healthier balance of lipids and growth factors — just as other forms of exercise do.
