Sir soes this treat anxiety? An ayurvedic doctor has prescribed this medicine to me for generalized anxiety. Arent there better products like manasmrita vatakam for anxiety?
Hi,
My brother had a psychotic episode last year and he took English Medicine for a year. Although he is normal but still he is not properly normal he becomes confuse if much of information is given to him and Becomes easily irritable. So, now we want to switch him to Ayurvedic Medcine as it treats the ailment from root. Please suggest some Ayurvedic Medcine for psychosis.
It eliminates vaat dosha that is a culprit in mental ailments and disorders. but it alone cant do much with curing the disease, so it is given along with other medicines like manasmitra vati, brahmi vati, saraswatarishta, brahma rasyana…etc….medicine are chosen according to the disorder/ailment….and dosage is also accordingly…so yes vatkulantak play a major role in treating mental problems if vat dosha is responsible (that is quite probable)
Self medication NOT recomended, take guidance of a vaidya who has expertise in treating mental problems.
Hello doctor,
