What you need are natural depression remedies to lift your mood.<\/h2>\n<p>This topic hits close to home for me, obviously because I have depression myself. I have tried all sorts of doctor prescribed medications only to feel like I was living in a haze.<\/p>\n<p>It was not until I started to experiment with natural depression remedies that I realized<strong> I was not taking advantage of what nature had to offer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing lifts the mood quite like a natural solution.<\/p>\n<h3>What does depression do to your body?<\/h3>\n<p>Depression doesn\u2019t just affect your mood, it also affects your body as well. Many people, or most people rather, didn\u2019t even know that. <strong>Depression causes inflammation, joint pain, digestive issues<\/strong> and even affects the cardiovascular system.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are other adverse effects that come from depression, but the goal here is to inform you of the ways you can combat this sickness without the harsh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/mental-health-medications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">medications<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Natural recipes<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to tell you to eat garlic or take a bath in green tea, but <strong>I will share a few recipes<\/strong> that you can replicate at home. These 7 natural depression remedies will improve your mood and even soothe the various aches and pains within your body.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what? There will be<strong> improvements in other areas as well<\/strong>. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<h4>1. Red Cabbage Juice<\/h4>\n<p>Cabbage is <strong>full of vitamin C and K<\/strong>, and also packed with <strong>folic acid<\/strong>. These things all fight depression symptoms.

Blend until smooth and <strong>enjoy as a hearty and healthy smoothie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Honey and Ginseng Powder<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Honey is a powerhouse<\/strong> in its own rights, providing natural sugars for lifting the mood and tryptophan, a natural enzyme, which helps you sleep.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5628357\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ginseng<\/a> <strong>has many great qualities<\/strong> as well. It improves digestion, concentration and also eliminates headaches. These two paired together have phenomenal benefits.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Here\u2019s what you need:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 tbsp honey<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp ginseng power<\/li>\n<li>1 cup hot water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Process:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Simply mix the Ginseng powder with the honey until you have an <strong>even mixture<\/strong>.

Soy Milk and Oatmeal<\/h4>\n<p>These ingredients together in the morning are <strong>a great way to start the day<\/strong> and ward off depression before it sets in. There are other ingredients, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/garlic-with-honey-empty-stomach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">honey<\/a> and nuts that will amplify this <strong>powerful breakfast treat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Here\u2019s what you need:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup soy milk<\/li>\n<li>3-4 tbsp oatmeal<\/li>\n<li>A handful of almonds<\/li>\n<li>A handful of dried fruits<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp honey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Process:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Prepare the oatmeal as you would normally do, replacing regular milk or water with the soy milk.

Rose water tea<\/h4>\n<p>Tea made from rose petals serves as one of the great natural depression remedies.
