Stress: The Cause
Stress is the term now used more in the medical field as the cause for all
diseases. Modern science has not yet reached the penultimate destination
of Ayurveda, which says all diseases originate in the mind. Stress occurs in us
in two ways. One comes internally, through the mind and the
second through chemical poisons or toxins that invade our body as a
result of our lifestyle.
It is interesting to note that even the chemicals we use are a result of
incorrect thoughts in our mind.
Thoughts in our mind dictate everything from physical health to general
happiness. In daily life, while encountering different situations, when we fail to handle our
emotions, we end up releasing chemicals in our body that can cause great
damage resulting in various diseases. This is highly damaging and,
mostly, a
silent killer as we pay least attention to it. Most people take
medical treatment for cancer, arthritis, diabetes and many other diseases without
understanding that it was stress that released damaging chemicals in
their body which is the primary cause of their physical illness. We have to
really understand stress as the primary cause for disease.
Stress
is the Cause for all Disease
The
fact that stress is the cause for all diseases is not a modern concept; it
was conceived thousands of years ago by proponents of Ayurveda. This is why
in Ayurveda the mind and body is always taken into account together while
treating diseases.
As a preventive measure, health secrets were ingrained in Indian culture into
the daily lifestyle in the form of yoga, meditation and spiritual
practice. The spiritual
practices deeply intertwined in Indian culture gave the double benefit of
attaining the highest state of man - by evolving from animal tendencies to
human and also attaining good physical and
mental health.
