Stress Management, Burnout and Rejuvenation

We are living in a society in which worries, stress and strain are too rich. Worries about security, economic difficulties, and emotions are becoming more common and will negatively impact health and longevity. The term “stress” is difficult to define and may mean different things to different people in different circumstances. When we are stressed, our bodies may show physical signs of tension. Sometimes irritation, anger, nervousness or sadness can be a clue you are feeling stressed. You may have difficulty concentrating or feel like you can’t stop worrying about something.

In the ancient Indian healing system of Ayurveda, stress reduction hinges on a complex understanding of each person. Since no two people handle setbacks the same way, everyone requires a different stress-relief strategy. According to Ayurveda,lack of ability to deal with stress is due to an imbalance of the three main mental functions, called dhi (learning), dhriti (retention), and smriti (long-term memory). Ayurveda & its therapies offers many recommendations for strengthening these mental functions, and thus gives the person more resilience to stress. When there is stress, there is an imbalance of Vata-Pitta-Kapha (doshas). Stress directly affects basic vital body tissue (Dhatus). Health of basic vital tissues can be maintained by taking steps to keep Vata-Piita-Kapha in balance through proper nutrition, lifestyle and rejuvenation programs.

It is well accepted that stress is the greatest threat to the well being of people. Stress weakens the immune system. As the strength of the host diminishes, the ability of microorganisms to penetrate bodily defenses increases. Stress plays a role in the onset of just about every disease people face, from the common cold to heart disease. Too much stress can be quite harmful, and can compromise our health physically, mentally, and emotionally. Ayurveda offers a beautiful perspective on stress management.

The ancient Ayurveda practice of massage with oil (called Abhyanga) calms the nervous system, lubricates and rejuvenates the tissues, and promotes healthy circulation throughout the body. Abhyanga is a profound practice of rejuvenation. In addition, the oil itself forms a protective sheath around the body that can help to buffer the nervous system against stress. Ayurveda helps a person come to a better understanding of themselves and their relationship to the world around them. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, Ayurveda helps people reduce stress. By reducing stress, each person can attain optimum health and peace of mind.

The treatment of Ayurveda, which also includes Panchakarma, basically indents to detoxify the body, reduce stress and enhance the immunity of the body. Ayurveda therapies work on both the physical and psychological levels to relax and ease pain, stiffness, soothing muscles, boost circulation and alleviate stress.
