Chronic stress keeps the nervous system in a prolonged state of activation, which Ayurveda associates with aggravated Vata (and often Pitta in high-achievers prone to irritability and burnout). Left unaddressed, this imbalance affects sleep, digestion, and immunity. Ayurvedic treatment combines oil-based therapies with structured rest to help the body exit sustained "fight or flight" mode.
Ayurveda views chronic stress as a Vata-Pitta imbalance driven by overstimulation, irregular routines, and insufficient rest. Long-term overexertion depletes Ojas (vital reserve energy), leaving the body less resilient to daily demands.
