AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON DEPRESSED

Depression is a common and serious mental illness that is, fortunately, very treatable. It is characterized by feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities generally. These feelings can decrease your ability to function at work and at home. Depression can vary from mild to severe: Depression can be triggered by 1) mental outlook or difficult circumstances or 2) the physical condition of the nervous system.

Therapy is often highly effective for depression. A strong spiritual practice keeps one's circumstances in perspective, and reveals the broader picture and the redemptive quality of suffering. How is God trying to transform you through these circumstances? It is helpful to contemplate, what is your true source of hope? If you have feelings of suicide, called suicide ideation, seek help immediately by calling 911 or the suicide help hotline (988).

Depression & Ayurveda

Depression, in the most fundamental sense of the word, is a stagnation (Kapha in nature) and is closely associated with Cold biocharacteristic.

However, mental stagnation can result from any of the doshas, from stress and overwhelm, or feelings of failure or shame. Thus depression can be multifactorial, involving all of the body types.

Exercise and sunlight are great mood lifters, especially during the winter when vitamin D stores may be low and Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is causing depression.

Stagnation can be cleared through aromatic, mood lifting herbs like lemon balm. Many of these are also antispasmodics that can ease tension and open up blood flow to the brain.

Sour tasting foods like cranberries open up blood flow and flush glands, refreshing and revitalizing the mind. These are often antioxidant and alterative which help tor estore proper blood chemistry. Healthy blood is essential for a happy nervous system as nerves are highly effected by blood chemistry changes.

It is generally helpful to reduce toxins (ama). Toxins disturb the nervous system.

Eat a diet appropriate for your doshas. Daily exercise greatly improves mood. Foods that are high in Omega-3 fatty acids improve brain function and lift mood.

Balance Your Body with Diet, Herbs, & Lifestyles Having These Biocharacteristics

Everything you eat has an effect on your body, which Ayurveda categorizes in a simple and easy way, using biocharacteristics (gunas). Biocharacteristics are qualities (like cold and hot) that describe the effect a food or herb has on your body. Cooling foods like cucumber, decrease metabolism. Heating foods like chili pepper, stimulate your body and increase metabolism. For 'Depressed', you should select foods with the following biocharacteristics. Individual results will vary, based on your body type and the root cause of your imbalance.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

DEPRESSED IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)

Ultimately, all disease has a root in tissues too weak to defend itself. Ayurveda describes these patterns of weakness using doshas & biocharacteristics.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS

ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?

WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.

HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?

Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharacteristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.

On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
