Anxiety is when one has Intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations.  Examples of anxiety disorders include panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. 

How Anxiety Affects you?

Anxiety is usually generalized and unfocused as an overreaction to a situation that is only subjectively seen as threatening. It is often accompanied by muscular tension, restlessness, fatigue, and problems in concentration. Several anxiety disorders include panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and generalized anxiety disorder.

Ayurveda describes Anxiety as the aggravation of Vata & Pitta dosha in the body.  Vata predominant individuals develop Vata-related reactions such as Anxiety, fearfulness, or nervousness.  Pitta predominant individuals react in anger and may suffer from hypertension, peptic ulcer, or colitis.  

Vata (air) and Pitta (heat) dosha get aggravated by improper or wrong diet & stressful lifestyles. These Doshas get lodged into the Manovaha Srotas (mental channel) and lead to the brain's poor nourishment. It ends up with abnormality in neurotransmitters like GABA, Serotonin. This affects the normal thought process of the mind. Due to the volatile nature of Vata (air) the person may experience increased anxiety in the form of a restless mind, nervousness, panic, and/or fearful thoughts.
