Imbalance in vata or pitta or kapha of the body and lack of awareness of one's inner self can cause depression according to the ancient science of Ayurveda. Most often a person is depressed due to vitiation in kapha and this needs to be corrected through diet, counseling, therapies and yoga with pranayama and meditation. Sadly, this can affect children, adolescence as well as adults. By understanding the nature and cause of depression Ayurveda offers a gentle, natural, and effective way of depression treatment without negative side effects. Ayurveda also provides the possibility of its prevention by promoting psychological health to higher levels. These methods not only restore the balance of mind in the body, but also progressively raise the overall level of inner contentment. At The Health Village we treat depression with specific therapies and Abhyangam, Shirodhara and Nasyam all help reduce the stress hormones in the brain thereby calming the brain of anxiety.
