Abstract

Background and Objective: Mental health complaints have significantly increased in Europe over recent years. This study evaluated the effects and safety of a 4-month online, multimodal, complementary intervention on the mental and physical health of home-based adults.

Method: Ninety-eight home-based adults with mild to severe mental health and related physical symptoms were recruited across Europe through digital advertisements. This single-arm repeated-measures study utilized three individualized treatment groups to evaluate the impact of the Ayurveda Program for Detox and Lifestyle. The online program included a personalized Ayurveda diet, daily routine, yoga exercise, herbal detoxification procedures, and herbal preparations. Standardized online tests were administered monthly for 4 months to assess anxiety, depression, physical symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire for Somatic, Anxiety, and Depressive Symptoms), fatigue (PROMIS), and body mass index (BMI).
