3 Tips To Relieve Depression and Anxiety

Today I’d like to talk about a weed of misinformation we may have in our garden we often think the medication we can take to relieve our depression or anxiety are the things that are going to work and our only solution that we have.

I believe this is a serious weed of misinformation that we need to examine carefully.

#1) Antidepressants and anxiety pills are not the answer

I’m bringing this up because a girlfriend of mine contacted me at her wits end. She’s tried almost every medication in the book for her serious depression that bounces also with anxiety. They will work for a little while, but none of them have worked for the long-term. There just doesn’t seem to be a medication that works for her.

All these medications are dealing with the brain. When in actual fact we have a second brain.

I know this may sound funny, but where you can find this brain is in your gut. There’s a direct correlation between the gut and the brain. They’ve found depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and a lot of other problems stem from the health of your gut.

#2) Add Fresh Herbs in Your Diet

That’s where we need to do whatever we can to address our diet. This in turn will support the health of our gut, proper elimination and that will have an effect upon our mood, well being and our ability to live life to the fullest.

This is an opportunity for you to check what you have in your outdoor, balcony, or indoor garden. I plant a variety of herbs. Even a tiny amount of fresh herbs can be so powerful for our health. Tyme, oregano, basil, parsley, chives, rosemary, horsetail, etc. the list goes on. There are so many herbs and they do wonders for our health.

I’m sure everyone is familiar with garlic. Why not look at some of these fresh gardening possibilities, Why not see what you can do to start creating a healthy gut today.

#3) Supplement with Probiotics

Why not start populating the good bacteria in your gut with probiotics. These healthy bacteria get killed when you take antibiotics and many medications.

A good probiotic may be purchased online, or at any health food stores. Eat them for a few months to repopulate all the good guys, especially if you’ve taken antibiotics.

You’ll be surprised at how much energy you’ll have and how much your mood will improve. I urge you to take a look at what you have in your garden today and follow these simple tips.
