Ayurveda for anxiety

An Ayurveda practitioner may apply counselling, purification, grounding, nutrition plus tailored therapies to pacify and reset the nervous system.

Anxiety disorders affect one in four Australians in their life, according to healthdirect.gov.au. The WHO (World Health Organization) states “anxiety disorders are the world’s most common mental disorders, affecting 301 million people in 2019.”

The word anxiety originates from the Latin angere, to choke, and the condition can cause a slew of strangling symptoms from mild apprehension to recurring dread, even escalating to persistent panic. The symptoms of anxiety are recognisable but will differ from person to person. Which anxiety signs affect you or someone you know?
