OCD Healer Kit
Description-
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by obsessive thoughts, which are recurrent, unwanted, and typically anxiety-provoking, and compulsions, which are repeated acts performed to relieve feelings of tension. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a co-morbid condition of psychiatric disorders like anxiety and depression. It is characterized by uncontrollable unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors one feels compelled to perform. Obsessions are involuntary, seemingly uncontrollable thoughts, images, or impulses that occur over and all over again in one’s mind. Compulsions are behaviors or rituals that one feels driven to act out again and again. Usually, compulsions are performed in an attempt to form obsessions. In fact, the obsessive thoughts usually return stronger. and therefore, the compulsive behaviors often end up causing anxiety themselves as they become more demanding and time-consuming. Some examples of compulsions are: cleaning, repeating, ordering, arranging, checking, and mental compulsions.
Ayurvedic concept
Ayurveda embraces aspects of the well-being of living creatures, including physical, mental, and spiritual health. It systemizes and applies the knowledge to revive this health and to cure the disease through purification therapy and herbal medicine. Psychiatric disorders are explained in classics, where there’s a function of a mind deranged, including intelligence, cognition, and memory. OCD is such a disorder that may disturb all of those in a considerable manner. In Ayurveda classical text, there’s no direct or exact correlation between OCD is described. However, some references are present which mimic the symptoms of OCD. One amongst them is atattvabhinivesha in which the person sees predominantly the unreal as real and vice versa. Atatva means false, non-elementary having no existence, and therefore the term abhinivesha means interpretation, knowledge to take in sense, or indulgence.
