Real Ayurveda For Mental Health
According to Charaka, "Mind, self and body-these three make a tripod on which the living world stands. All depend on this."
Charaka's focus was on healing the body, mind and soul of the person in a minimally invasive manner
Charaka emphasized the process of investigation (pariksha) as opposed to blindly accepting something as already proven (pramana)
Charaka talked about animal fats as being the most nourishing
Charaka Samhita talks about ghee, lard and tallow
The Ketogenic Diet for Refractory Mental Illness: A Retrospective Analysis of 31 Inpatients: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.951376/full

Patients were in the mental health hospital; they received a ketogenic diet along with standard of care; the care didn’t change at all, except for the dietary intervention
The diet basically was about 75 to 80% fat (olive oil, coconut oil, butter, mayonnaise, and sour cream); 15 to 20% protein (meat, seafood, poultry, dairy products, eggs, and nuts); 5% carbohydrates (vegetables, nuts, lemon juice, a small amount of dark chocolate)
The overall results after 3 patients dropped out: 100% had symptoms improve; 96% lost weight; 63% were discharged on fewer medications; 43% achieved clinical remission
Ayurveda says that everyone is different but some truths apply universally to every one
Do your own investigation, take everything with a grain of salt and do not accept anything as gospel
