Today is the world of competition and everybody is running day and night to achieve the best in their terms. The mankind is set into a new dimension of time where ceaseless activity throughout is making everybody restless. Overall result is the never ending physical and mental stress coming out in the form of variety of health disorders which can be called as anxiety related disorders like hypertension, coronary artery disease, arthritis, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and behavioral disorders. Ayurveda mentions the anxiety and its impacts on the body as aggravation of Vata Dosha leading to lowered immunity and resulting number of diseases due to that, it also relates the stress to the degeneration in the body tissues causing early aging and reduced life span. Although Acharya Caraka states that in order to stay healthy and to save the life one should always avoid over-thinking himself, however, in today's world, anxiety is an inevitable part of life and so the anxiety induced diseases. Therefore, instead of looking for the stress avoidance strategy it is important to work on preventing the effects of stress on the body and increasing the coping capacity of the body by life style modifications, dietary interventions and other means.
