Stress is a state of mental and physical pressure resulting from an imbalance between specific demands and the individual’s ability and motivation to meet those demands. In a stressful event, our body produces larger quantities of the chemicals cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, which trigger a higher heart rate and sweating. These biological events demand high energy and are harmful when they persist for long.
Prolonged stress leads to long-term health concerns, such as:
An imbalance in 3 main mental functions: Dhi (learning), Dhriti (retention), and Smriti (long-term memory), along with a lack of ‘Ojas’ (energy) in the body, makes us unable to deal with stress. At Shathayu, the Stress Management Program comprises various relaxation techniques like Sunidra to relieve the body from stress piled up over the years and raise the body’s Ojas (energy) level by bringing a proper hormonal balance and improving blood circulation. It focuses on strengthening the mental vigour to cope with stress in any situation, thereby enhancing sound sleep, stimulating the nervous system, and creating a healthier body.
We use renowned and deeply rejuvenating treatments like Shirodhara and Abhyanga. Studies have shown these techniques to positively impact the mind, soul, and body, leading to overall well-being. At Shathayu Ayurveda, Ayurvedic treatments for stress management are administered using specially formulated medicated oils tailored to suit the individual’s current physical condition and underlying body constitution most effectively.
