What is Anxiety

Anxiety is an extremely common problem, affecting about 23.4% of women and 14.3% of men. In fact, it is the most common mental disorder in the world. Only about a third of those with anxiety seek formal treatment, but anxiety is one of the most common reasons people use holistic modalities like Ayurveda.

Anxiety and Ayurveda

From an Ayurvedic point of view, anxiety is an imbalance in the Vata dosha. Vata is the "air" principle. It is light, dry and portable. Vata imbalance, mentally, is associated with lightness or overactivity - erratic thinking, anxiety, obsessions, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Vata imbalance is also associated with an excitable nervous system and sleep disturbances. If you've ever heard someone, say they feel "ungrounded," that's a classic description of a Vata imbalance. It's too much energy in the mind, not enough in the legs. So, when Vata is disturbed, you feel disconnected from the earth. To treat Vata anxiety/imbalance, you need to stabilize your energy - calm your nervous system, relax your mind, release obsessive thoughts, connect with your body and the earth, and ultimately surrender to the flow of the Universe.
