Area of Science:

  • Integrative medicine
  • Ayurvedic science
  • Modern medicine

Background:

  • Stress is a recognized factor in disease etiology in both Ayurvedic and modern medical systems.
  • Ayurveda identifies stress as 'sahasa,' which can lead to 'ojahksaya' (loss of immunity), increasing disease susceptibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight Ayurvedic approaches to stress management.
  • To investigate the potential of rasayana herbs in mitigating stress.

Main Methods:

  • Review of Ayurvedic principles regarding stress (sahasa).
  • Examination of modern medical understanding of stress.
  • Analysis of rasayana herbs' stress-attenuating effects.

Main Results:

  • Stress (sahasa) contributes to decreased immunity (ojahksaya).
  • Stress avoidance, proper diet, and adequate rest are key management strategies.
  • Rasayana herbs show potential in enhancing the body's stress coping mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating Ayurvedic and modern approaches to stress management is beneficial.
  • Rasayana herbs offer a promising avenue for natural stress attenuation.
  • Further research is needed to optimize the use of rasayana formulations for stress management.
