Summary: | Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic anxiety disorder that significantly interferes with an individual’s occupational and social life leading to low self-esteem. Ayurveda correlates to Atattvabhinivesha . This case report describes a 25-year-old female, diagnosed case of OCD managed through Satvavajaya Chikitsa ( Ayurveda psychotherapy ), Yoga, and Pranayama. Vijnana, Dhairya, Smriti, and Samadhi are the psychotherapeutic domains of this therapy. Satvavajaya Chikitsa was planned based on the philosophical aspects of Patanjali Yoga Sutra. Significant relief in anxiety and Yale–Brown Obsessive–Compulsive Scale were appreciated at the end of the therapy. Thus, the case report highlights the potential and usefulness of Yoga-based Satvavajaya Chikitsa in the management of OCD. |
