Anger Management: Ayurvedic Ways to Save Your Health

A split-second rage can derail your well-being in ways you never imagined. While expressing anger varies—some shout, others simmer silently—its hidden damages are universal. Both conventional medicine and Ayurveda warn of its destructive impact on hormones, heart, digestion, and brain function. Triggers abound in contemporary life: relentless workloads and mounting frustrations. When anger erupts, the body’s stress machinery activates ruthlessly, accelerating heartbeat and stressing arteries. Research underscores the dangers: habitual anger correlates with hypertension and acid reflux. Fortunately, time-tested Ayurvedic techniques provide accessible paths to control. Breathe deeply and deliberately while flinging arms outward to shake off stress. Science endorses the 90-second rule—pause, and watch anger evaporate. Cold water acts as a natural coolant; drink it or use it to wash your face, pacifying the Pitta surge. Build a supportive diet with Pitta-balancers like aromatic fennel, coriander, and creamy ghee.
