Stress - Ayurvedic Treatment

Stress is a very familiar & overused term in the medical field now. First of all, it is important to understand that it is completely okay to have a period of stress in some part of life. It does not imply any physical or mental situation or abnormality. Stress is a normal reaction the body has when changes occur, resulting in physical, emotional and mental responses. When the responses become chronic & uncontrollable, stress management training can help the person deal with things in a healthier manner.

Stress is a normal human reaction that happens to everyone. In fact, the human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. It is an important gift in the path of evolution to get over to a situation. When you experience changes or challenges (stressors), your body produces physical and mental responses. That’s stress. Stress responses help your body adjust to new situations. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated and ready to avoid danger. For example, if you have an important test coming up, a stress response might help your body work harder and stay awake longer. But stress becomes a problem when stressors continue without relief or periods of relaxation.

Physiopathologie

When the brain perceives stress, physiologic and behavioral responses are initiated leading to allostasis and adaptation. Over time, allostatic load can accumulate, and the overexposure to neural, endocrine, and immune stress mediators can have adverse effects on various organ systems, leading to disease. In simpler words, the body’s autonomic nervous system controls the heart rate, breathing, vision changes and more. Its built-in stress response, the “fight-or-flight response,” helps the body face stressful situations. When a person has long-term (chronic) stress, continued activation of the stress response causes wear and tear on the body. Physical, emotional and behavioural symptoms develop.

Diagnostic

Stress is subjective — not measurable with tests.

Patient is the only one who knows the severity of his suffering. Some values like blood pressure can be on the higher side in some cases. Psychiatric evaluation can help to confirm the diagnosis.

Traitements

Stress can not be avoided, but it can be stopped from becoming overwhelming by practicing some daily strategies:

Exercise on a daily basis. Even a short walk can boost your mood.

At the end of each day, take a moment to think about what you’ve accomplished — not what you didn’t get done.

Set goals for your day, week and month. Narrowing your view will help you feel more in control of the moment.

Consider talking to a therapist

Try relaxation activities such as meditation, yoga, tai chi, breathing exercises and muscle relaxation.

Take good care of your body each day. Eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep help your body handle stress much better.

Stay positive and practice gratitude, acknowledging the good parts of your day or life.

Accept that you can’t control everything. Find ways to let go of worry about situations you cannot change.

Learn to say “no” to additional responsibilities when you are too busy or stressed.

Stay connected with people who keep you calm, make you happy, provide emotional support and help you with practical things.

In necessary cases, anti-depressant or tranquilisers are used with a prescription from a psychiatrist.

Pronostic

Stress can be a short-term issue or a long-term problem, depending on the changes in life.

Maladies et Ayurveda

All problems related with mind are attributed with the name manoroga or unmada in Ayurveda. As the thridoshas cause the diseases of both body and mind, manorogas also come under the doshic vitiation of them. Other than very important bodily functions, Vaata controls the mind & thoughts too. Stress happens when there is Vaatakopa which deviates stability and strength of the person. It is seen mostly in Vaata prakruti people who are highly energetic but lacks stability.
