I'm dealing with chronic anxiety and the allopathic treatment I'm on doesn't seem to be doing much for me. Is there something Ayurveda offers that could help with anxiety?

In Ayurveda, there are several herbs and formulations that can help in managing anxiety. One commonly used herb is Ashwagandha, which is known for its calming effects. You can try taking Ashwagandha capsules or powder, usually in a dosage of 300-500mg twice a day. Another herb is Brahmi, which is also beneficial for reducing anxiety. Brahmi capsules or powder can be taken in a dosage of 300-500mg twice a day. Jatamansi is another herb that is used in Ayurveda for anxiety. You can take Jatamansi capsules or powder in a dosage of 250-500mg twice a day.
