Stress and Depression Treatment

Regaining Inner Peace and Harmony

The continuous pressures of our fast-paced lives—work-related stress, personal challenges, serious illness, or even daily commuting—can all lead to fatigue and, over time, serious health issues. Prolonged stress weakens the body’s immune system and can cause numerous physical and mental problems.

The Modern and Ayurvedic Understanding of Stress

Stress is, in fact, the body’s natural response to an unfamiliar or threatening situation. However, when this state becomes chronic, the body reacts by releasing stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol), which can harm overall health. High cortisol levels may lead to issues such as high blood pressure, muscle stiffness, sleep disturbances, and eventually depression or anxiety.

According to Ayurveda, depression is a low emotional state caused by an imbalance of the Kapha dosha, which disrupts both Vata and Pitta. This imbalance leads to disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system. Common signs include loss of interest in daily activities, loss of appetite or overeating, and low self-esteem.

The Holistic Therapy Package for Stress and Depression

Ayurvedic treatment is based on a complex, holistic approach that addresses the body, mind, and spirit. The therapy begins with a detailed consultation to identify the root cause of the problem and your individual constitution. The goal is to reduce stress hormone levels and restore inner balance.

The package includes specialized therapies and detoxifying treatments designed to promote deep relaxation:

  • Abhyanga and Padabhyanga: Warm oil massages that deeply relax the entire body, with a special focus on the feet (Padabhyanga), helping to relieve stress and induce relaxation.
  • Shirodhara and Nasya: Shirodhara (warm oil poured on the forehead) and Nasya (herbal oil drops administered through the nose) directly affect the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and improve focus and sleep quality.
  • Pizhichil: Known as the “massage of kings,” this therapy involves pouring warm herbal oil over the body to nourish the tissues and deeply calm the nervous system.
  • Herbal therapy, diet, and healing teas: Treatments are complemented with herbal remedies, a personalized diet, and medicinal teas to support the body’s natural functions and emotional balance.
  • Yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation: An essential part of the program is yoga and pranayama practices that help you manage stress and cultivate inner tranquility.
