Natural Remedies for Depression
Be Careful
Perhaps the biggest challenge with natural remedies for depression is knowing where to start. How do you know what you need? How do you know who to trust? There is a lot at stake...
Some risks in choosing a natural remedy for depression: Wasting your time or money Creating even more imbalance in your system Not knowing what will help you the most False claims or poor quality ingredients Not knowing whether (or when) to discontinue taking somethingWanting relief from the symptoms of depression is natural. Remedies for depression can help. Having said that, I remind you that it is rare for depression to have purely physical causes. Ignoring the mental/emotional causes of depression will not serve you in the long run. Warning! There are many products that claim to be natural antidepressants. When using any product, there are important issues to consider.
1. How do you know what the product contains? Is the product reliably tested?2. How do you know what you need? In what amounts and for how long? 3. Herb and vitamin supplements are intended to
balance a deficiency. How do you know you have a deficiency? How do you know when you've balanced the deficiency and are now creating a surplus? A surplus can create more imbalances.4. Many supplements get stale and lose potency in storage (because they are purchased in bulk)...before you even buy them. They are also exposed to extreme heat and cold that destroy active ingredients in storage and shipping. 5. How do you prevent negative interactions between herbs, supplements, drugs, and food? -- A great way to avoid these problems is to use food "as a drug". Plus,you can prevent imbalances from happening to begin with ~~ see
