After an initial consultation, the physician advises the right pathway for you. Some conditions can be supported with outpatient medicines and home guidance, while many neurological conditions respond best to structured visiting therapy or an inpatient rehabilitation programme.

Treatment cost

We do not publish a price for anxiety & stress treatment, and that is deliberate. AVN Arogya does not use fixed protocols — the treating physician designs each programme individually, and it is that protocol which determines the cost.

It is only at the end of your consultation that the physician can say which kind of care you actually need:

  • Outpatient — medicines to take at home, with review visits. The least involved option, and for many people it is enough.
  • Visiting therapy — you come in for therapy sessions over a period and return home the same day.
  • Inpatient admission — you stay with us for intensive daily therapy. Here the estimate also depends on the duration the physician recommends and the room category you choose.

Once those are decided we give you a written estimate for your own plan, including what your insurance is likely to cover. Quoting a figure before the assessment would mean quoting one that may not apply to you.

Why Choose AVN Arogya for Anxiety & Stress?

Integrative Mind-Body Approach: Uniquely combines authentic Panchakarma (Shirodhara, Nasya, Vasti) with customized therapeutic yoga (Yoga Nidra, parasympathetic Pranayama, restorative Asanas) for complete neurological reset. Root-Cause Gut-Brain Axis Reset: Focuses on eliminating deep-seated Vata-Pitta imbalances and metabolic toxins (Ama) rather than offering temporary symptomatic relief through anti-anxiety medications or sedatives. Non-Habit-Forming Care: Provides a safe, natural pathway toward emotional balance and cognitive clarity without the risks of daytime drowsiness, cognitive fog, or drug dependence.

Tailored Precision Programs: Every therapy sequence, oil selection, internal medicine, and yoga prescription is individually customized to the patient's constitutional type (Prakriti) and unique stress triggers (work burnout, emotional trauma, or hormonal fluctuations).
