Stress Management in Ayurveda – Healing the Mind and Body at Vajra Periyar Heritage
Stress has become a part of modern life, affecting both physical and mental well-being. Long working hours, digital overload, and lifestyle imbalances lead to anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and even lifestyle diseases. Ayurveda, the ancient system of natural healing, offers holistic and time-tested methods for stress management. At Vajra Periyar Heritage, we combine authentic Ayurvedic therapies with a serene retreat setting to help you find balance, peace, and vitality.
Understanding Stress in Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, stress arises from imbalances in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These imbalances disturb the mind-body harmony and weaken the nervous system. Stress management in Ayurveda is not just about calming the mind; it focuses on restoring overall equilibrium through therapies, diet, lifestyle, and mindfulness.
