Mental health is a reflection of inner and outer imbalance. This episode explores how Ayurveda views mental health as more than a chemical issue. It is a profound interplay of body, mind, soul, and nature. Rooted in Vedic psychology, this approach offers a deeply compassionate, holistic, and soul-centered path to emotional healing and balance.

• Why emotions are intelligent messengers


• The Ayurvedic view of mental illness and imbalance
