Depression is a mood disorder wherein a person persistently feels hopeless or sad. It brings down energy levels and hampers the health of an individual along with a loss in interest in day to day activities. Currently, about 80% of people with depression do not undergo treatment and the prevalence of depression is still a social stigma in some places. Ayurveda gives prime concern to mind-related disorders and defines depression or manovasad as a state of manasika vyadhi (disease of the mind) and manasika bhava (emotions).
Ayurvedic procedures like shirodhara (pouring liquids or oils over the head), vamana (medical emesis), and rasayana (rejuvenative) treatment help relieve mental stress, draw out toxins, and relax the mind. Along with Ayurvedic herbs like ashwagandha (Indian ginseng), vacha (calamus), yasthimadhu (mulethi), brahmi (waterhyssop) and shatavari (hundred roots), and Ayurvedic medicines like saraswatarishta and chandanasava, practising relaxation methods like yoga help manage depression better. Ayurveda also describes dietary changes like including whole foods, fresh vegetables and excluding non-vegetarian meals and tinned/canned foods to improve overall health and manage depression effectively.
