These techniques offer a trending new dimension of treatment in various psychiatric disorders. Manas chikitsa (treatment of Mental Disorders) Ayurveda recommends preventive medicine. Correct behavior, balanced–diet, and nonsuppression of natural urges, following daily and seasonal health regimens are integral part of the Manas chikitsa. Ayurveda advocates use of nervine-tonics like Brahami (Bacopa monnieri), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Guduchi (Tinosporia cordifolia), Yastimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and Vacha (Acromus calamus) for preventing onset of Manas roga.
