Stress-related disorders such as anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic conditions are increasingly prevalent in the modern world. Ayurveda and Yoga, two complementary disciplines rooted in Indian philosophy and science, offer a holistic approach to managing these disorders. This review synthesizes classical Ayurvedic concepts and recent research evidence on various Ayurvedic therapies, herbal remedies, and yogic practices including āsanas, prāṇāyāma, and meditation techniques. The analysis highlights the relevance and efficacy of integrative approaches combining Ayurvedic lifestyle regimens (Dinacharya, Ritucharya), Rasāyana therapy, and mind-body techniques in restoring psychosomatic balance and enhancing mental resilience. It concludes that Ayurvedic and Yogic modalities, when appropriately individualized and clinically guided, have significant potential in managing stress-related ailments.
