Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Introduction

Panic attacks are intense episodes of fear and mixed emotions that can reach a peak within a few minutes. Each episode of a panic attack has a combination of many abnormal physical and psychological symptoms that are very severe. A person undergoing the attack does not have control over his senses and body movements as well as emotions. The person who has a problem with panic attacks is always in fear of having an attack and generally avoids going to places that may or may not trigger their condition. People used to isolate themselves to avoid the after-attack shame of doing abnormal things due to having no control over their bodies and emotions. These attacks are time-limiting and subside on their own after some time. They may occur with or without a triggering factor at any time of day.

Ayurvedic Aspect

According to Ayurveda panic attacks are a result of highly imbalanced Vata dosha. That disturbs the balance of Pitta dosha. The Imbalances of doshas in the body tend to show all the abnormal physical symptoms by regulating hormonal release. The Vata dosha also impacts the mind energies satva raja, and tamas.

Ayurvedic Aspect of Hepatic Sarcoidosis

In Ayurveda, hepatic sarcoidosis is correlated with tridosha involvement. These tridosha are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Sarcoidosis usually affects the lymph nodes where Kapha energy resides. However, when the pitta energy begins to affect the lymph nodes, the kapha energy disappears and the lymph nodes lose their properties. This can cause the lymph nodes to harden. Also, when the kapha energy in the lung region is disrupted, the vata energy dehydrates it and causes fibrosis in the lungs.
