Natural Remedies To Relieve Depression On An Energetic Level

Homeopathic Remedies

These amazing little pills are not only safe to use, but can be effective for a wide variety of depression symptoms. They also work on a vibrational level to help your body naturally restore emotional and physical balance.

I love using these, because unlike prescription medications, there are no side effects and you can’t overdose because of their dilute nature. It is best to consult a professional homeopathic practitioner, but here are a few of the most common remedies for depression.

* Calcarea carbonica – use for anxiety, fatigue, confusion, discouragement, self-pity, and a dread of disaster

* Causticum – relieves feelings of grief and loss (either recent or over time) and frequent crying

* Natrum carbonicum – combats the tendency to isolate and withdraw to rest or listen to sad music

* Sepia – works for those who use anger to keep people away or have difficulty showing affection

* Staphysagria – helps to release hurt feelings, shame, resentment, and suppressed emotions

It is up to the individual to notice how these remedies are working for them. If improvement is seen after one dose, simply allow it to continue to work. When you notice that it is not working, or has stopped, take another dose. Continue to take as needed to improve symptoms, and do not eat or drink 15 minutes before or after taking for optimal results.

Essential Oils

These aromatic plant medicines are as pleasurable as they are effective. I suggest them to clients who suffer from depression because they offer instant emotional support. They relieve symptoms such as anxiety, stress and tension, while promoting a sense of well-being by releasing and healing old emotional wounds.

Mix the following oils in a 15ml dropper bottle or other glass container. Fill with almond, jojoba or other massage oil. Apply to heart area several times a day until symptoms improve.

* Bergamot – 4 drops
* Geranium – 6 drops
* Jasmine – 4 drops
* Lavender – 8 drops
* Rose – 8 drops

For best results, only use therapeutic-grade, organic essential oils and never apply them undiluted to skin. Do not take internally, and pregnant women should consult their doctor before using.

There is a time and place for conventional medicine, and if anti-depressants are currently keeping you out of a nasty down-ward spiral, then that is great. Prescription drugs are an amazing tool, but are really not a long-term solution. However, if your goal is to gradually reduce your dependency on anti-depressants, these remedies can be very helpful in that process.
