AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON ANXIETY, FEAR, UNCERTAINTY

Modern psychology seeks to conquer fear and anxiety in all its forms. However, some amount of fear is natural and healthy. In Ayurveda, unhealthy anxiety must be transformed into healthy anxiety that is natural and appropriate for health. We suggest you perfect your fear, instead of trying to eliminate it.

Healthy fear includes all anxiety that accords with natural risks. For example, a healthy fear is one that avoids unhealthy foods. However, in unhealthy anxiety one begins to fear everything, or becomes preoccupied with slight imperfections. No food is perfect. Those who tend to obsess about food will find themselves preoccupied with these imperfections. Unhealthy fear also includes any despair over one's ability to heal.

Anxiety Due to Deficiency (Vata Type)

Deficiency is the root cause of unhealthy anxiety as a chronic pattern. In Vata individuals, chronic anxiety results from dehydration and hypoglycemia (deficient rasa dhatu), pale or anemic blood (deficient rakta dhatu), or toxins (ama) from constipation or indigestion. Blood plasma deficiency creates anxiety much the same way that a hungry person feels anxious about food. Anxiety due to deficiency blood plasma will show signs of dryness, including dry skin and a thin tongue.

Anemia creates a similar survival anxiety as dryness. Anxiety due to anemia will show a pale tongue with redness in the tip as the heart tries to overcompensate for the blood deficiency.

Toxicity irritates the nervous system, making a person feel anxious and uncomfortable.

Other Causes of Anxiety

In Kapha individuals, anxiety results from a deficiency in the adrenals - they simply lack the energy to deal with life's everyday problems. Then the Kapha individual withdraws as they become depressed and overwhelmed over these challenges. Kapha individuals may become anxious if their blood is congested and difficult to circulate, frequently associated with feeling tired and overwhelmed.

In Pitta individuals, anxiety is the result of heat in the liver and will be associated with feeling self-conscious, perfectionist, and critical.

Emotional factors could lead to high anxiety as well, including history of trauma, or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and

Effects of Anxiety on the Body

Unhealthy anxiety, fear and uncertainty tends to shut down circulation by constricting blood vessels. This constriction of blood vessels is adaptive - it shunts blood flow from non-essential organs so that adequate blood is available to deal with a present threat. Anxiety activates the sympathetic "flight or fight" nervous system, and deactivates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest). Circulation to digest organs is particularly affected.

Aromatic herbs such as peppermint and cloves open up blood vessels, restoring a sense of natural ease. For this reason, aromatics herbs are nervines that relieve anxiety. The root cause must be addressed as well.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

ANXIETY, FEAR, UNCERTAINTY IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

GET STARTED

To get started on your Ayurvedic journey, we first recommend that your find your body type by taking our free quiz. In Ayurveda, every solution is based on your unique body type, so by taking this quiz, you’ll get the best results.

About John Joseph Immel

About the Author

John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda biocharacteristics. His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.

John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.

John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 7 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
