In Ayurveda, managing stress is not just about calming the mind - it’s about restoring balance between the mind, body and daily routine. Certain traditional herbs are commonly used to support relaxation and emotional wellbeing.
Ayurvedic herbs traditionally used for stress support:
* Ashwagandha: Traditionally used to support the body’s response to everyday stress and promote calmness.
* Brahmi: Traditionally associated with mental clarity, focus and a balanced mind.
* Jatamansi: Traditionally valued for its calming and relaxing properties.
* Tulsi: Considered an adaptogenic herb that may support resilience during periods of stress.
Ayurveda works best as part of a holistic approach combining appropriate diet, sleep, breathing practices, exercise and a balanced daily routine.
For personalised Ayurvedic guidance, consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting herbal supplements, especially if you take regular medication.
