Natural Remedies For Depression In THREE Fold Path

Every person must have experienced some kind of depression at any point of time in his or her life. Depression is expressed like through lethargy, moodiness, reclusiveness, etc in several ways. This state of mind can be due to the imbalances, which can take place either externally or internally. People suffer from internal turmoil due to any past emotional wounds, which remained unresolved at that time. Now the past can be any event that occurred decades ago or even two hours ago. When the body deals with emotional issues, there is no bound of time and even today, a person can feel the same pain remembering a situation, which he or she faced years ago. When some events remain unsolved in your life, then the pain tends to stick and makes the emotions even more toxic. When people neglect such emotions, they build up even more and at some point of time become unbearable for the person. The mental faculties start depleting and a lot of energy gets drained out.

Depression also comes owing to several external and environmental issues like too much work stress, unsatisfied home-life, financial problems and much more. The elimination of these factors is quite essential to minimize depression. However, when to comes to the heart, people behave differently depending on their own perceptions. As per Ayurveda, the capacity of an individual to digest emotions depends on his or her strength of the Sadhaka Agni. People having strong Sadhaka Agni are conscious about their feelings but do not allow them to rule over. On the other hand, people with weak Sadhaka Agni face difficulties in processing their emotions.

The Sadhaka Agni has influence on the neurohormones as well. These cells are there in the heart, brain and spinal cord. On the basis of the strength of the Sadhaka Agni the neurohormones of the heart signal the brain whether to register an emotion as joyful or depressive. Listed below are some ways in which you can strengthen the Sadhaka Agni and control depression:

It is important to align the body as per the rhythms of nature. This means you must get up with the sunlight and fall asleep with the light of the moon. This helps you in getting adequate amount of sleep.
