Add 1 cup warm milk. While blending, add a pinch of ginger and a small pinch of nutmeg and saffron.

For anxiety accompanied by a fast heart rate, a cup of orange juice with t teaspoon of honey and a pinch of nutmeg powder can be effective.

Calming Pressure Point

Make a fist with your left hand, so that the fingers rest in the middle of the palm. Locate the point where the middle finger ends, in the "heart" of the palm. Then, with the thumb of your right hand, press firmly on this point in the center of your left hand. Press for 1 minute. This will calm down the agitation of prana, which causes anxiety.

Ayurvedic Oil Massage

Giving yourself a full-body oil massage will greatly help to reduce anxiety. Vatas should use sesame oil; pittas, sunflower or coconut oil; kaphas, corn oil. Use 6 or 7 ounces of warmed-up (not hot) oil, and rub it over your whole body from head to toes. Ordinarily this massage is done before the morning bath, but if you have high anxiety or insomnia, you can also do it before going to bed.
A minimassage is also effective: Using the appropriate oil for your constitution, rub some on your scalp and spend a few minutes rubbing the bottom of your feet.

Relaxation Pose

Lie down on your back in the yoga posture known as savasana, the "Corpse" or Relaxation pose, arms by your sides.
