The pressures of modern city life have increased drastically in the incidence of chronic mental stress and anxiety disorders. With rapid urbanization in India, this problem is very well known, according to the results of a study, affecting an estimated 20% of the population. This is not just because of mental health effects, but because of the role that chronic mental stress and anxiety have played in initiating other diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
AN ANCIENT SOLUTION FOR MODERN DAY STRESS
Based on naturopathic insights into stress and anxiety disorders, the first step is to identify your stress type and strengthen that natural balance. This can be achieved by taking a diet, exercise routine and daily routine that fits your nature.
There are some extensive nature cure treatments for anxiety that can relieve stress regardless.
1. Follow a diet that is light and stimulating, using herbs and spices such as ginger and basil, which have been shown to control stress response. Basil is even used as an effective herbal ingredient for stress as studies show that the herbal has neuro-protective, knowledge-enhancing and stress-relieving properties.
2. It is advisable to limit exposure to caffeine stimulants, in addition to following a balanced diet to reduce stress. Consuming high sugar can increase cortisol levels and promote it over time. Stress hormone is elevated with obesity, which is again linked to high sugar intake. Caffeine may not have a direct effect on cortisol, but its stimulant effect can lead to sleep disturbances, contributing to stress.
3. Adequate rest and relaxation are one of the main recommendations for dealing with stress and anxiety. These include both sleep and relaxation activities. Sleep is considered important in naturopathy treatment for mental balance and there is considerable stress not only during periods but also during sleep periods. Proper sleep time is expected to be between 10pm and 6am.
4. While physical activity is always considered important in Ayurveda, the intensity of activity is also important. While mild to moderate activity is most effective in managing stress and anxiety, research has shown that this type of exercise can reduce cortisol levels, both in the short and long term. These can include yoga, aerobics, Pilates, walking, cycling, and swimming. Yoga is most beneficial for stress relief because it trains you to focus on breathing and meditation.
Remember that chronic mental stress and anxiety disorders are a disease that can have a cascading effect on both physical and mental health. Sometimes this state of mind leads an individual to death so it should be treated rapidly by naturopathic treatment.
