What natural remedies can I take for Depression?
I drink St. John’s Wort tea. It’s one of the more traditional herbs used to treat depression and anxiety. If you can, go for Traditional Medicinals brand. They’re the only tea brand I’ve ever heard of to use medicine-grade herbs in their teas. I brought the tea to my doctor, and she told me it wouldn’t react adversely with my prescriptions, but it’s always good to check depending on what you are on. Particularly with mood-altering meds. Endorphins are also good, and you can get them by exercising. For an extra boost, try some positively-reinforcing yoga. Yoga is great because not only does it work out your whole body and stretch your muscles, but it’s a way to work out that’s also soothing to your mind. Regulating your breathing and meditating can also add to your overall mental health. I’ve included some of my favorites below. 🙂 Good luck! Depression is a heck of a journey, and we all need what help we can get.
