AYURVEDIC ASPECTS OF HYSTERIA
Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine in India. Ayurveda has the potential to treat a patient with its effective and non-reactive herbs. These herbs are natural as they are obtained from nature. Ayurveda believes that the mind is known as Manas which is afflicted by Sativik, Tamsik, and Rajsik doshas and any imbalance of Rajsik and Tamsik dosha will lead to emotional imbalance. These negative feelings are emotional toxins of mind. If these doshas are not eliminated out of the body for a while it will lead to various chronic conditions like stress, depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, etc. If it is further delayed it will cause a perpetual disorder like Unmad (unreasonable and irrational state of mind) like hysteria, Apasmara (epilepsy), etc. Ayurveda has the potential to treat mansik rogas without producing any adverse effects.
