Stress is a normal reaction of your body to anything you see as a demand or a challenge - be it physical, mental or emotional. Your brain releases various hormones, including cortisol and adrenaline, and sets the stage for your reaction to the event. This reaction is healthy because it makes you more focused, helps you act faster and more effectively. However, due to various reasons, if these hormones are released in surplus, then it starts harming you rather than helping. When the challenges don't subside - whether at work or at home - it means that you are constantly under pressure. And the more pressure there is, the more negative consequences it brings.
Stress is a health problem that the World Health Organization calls an epidemic. It can manifest itself through such symptoms as insomnia, mood swings, increased heart rate and many others. What's comforting is that there is a solution that Ayurvedic medicine have been practicing for over 5,000 years.
According to Ayurveda, human body is not an entity limited to the metaphysical realm, but also it has a spiritual dimension too, which is not much explored. It consists of three primary forces, namely Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, which regulate the functions of each organ and the entire body. Stress, from an Ayurvedic perspective, is viewed as an imbalance in the equilibrium of these three forces.
Stress-related disorders are grouped together under the categories of Sahasa, Chinta (worry), Bhaya (fear), and Shoka (grief), all of which affect Manas and, subsequently, the body of an individual. If mental imbalance continues to persist, Prana Vata, which regulates the nervous system, gets affected, and a cascading effect ensues on all other bodily organs.
Vata Imbalance
Rules activity and the nervous system. When triggered by stress, Vata results in anxiety, restlessness, distressed mind, lack of sleep and scattered energies. Stress-related problems usually have a Vata influence to a large extent.
Pitta Imbalance
Rules digestion and metabolism. When Pitta is overstimulated by stress, it manifests as irritation, frustration, high blood pressure, acidity, and an endless drive which will finally wear one out.
Kapha Imbalance
Rules form and stability. Kapha disharmony caused by stress leads to emotional heaviness, depression, laziness, excessive body weight and lack of participation in life activities.
