Depression and mood swings are often secondary signs of deeper imbalances and may be connected to other areas of health. In many cases, underlying nutritional deficiencies can contribute to emotional lows and should be addressed promptly. In other instances, nervous system depletion or dysregulation may lead to fluctuations in one’s mental and emotional state.
Additional contributing factors may include hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, or improper dietary and lifestyle habits. According to Ayurveda, there are different types of low mood and emotional heaviness, each with its own causes and corresponding traditional therapeutic approaches.
Whether one experiences a subtle sense of sadness or a persistent emotional heaviness, traditional systems of healing offer holistic methods of support. When an individual is motivated and willing to implement dietary adjustments, adopt grounding lifestyle routines, and take herbal preparations traditionally used to uplift mood, meaningful progress is often possible.

"I cannot thank you enough Khabir for the positive impact that you have had on my life. I have battled with losing weight my whole life and have tried so many different approached to weight loss. You made it clear at each session and now I see how you where stepping me through a long process of changing my attitudes, lifestyle habits and eating habits. What changed by body and helped me keep losing weight as all of the detoxification and cleansing we did. After the cleansing, I was getting full easier when I ate, I had more energy after I ate, I was not hungry between meals and best of all my weight was just going down each week! Now I just follow your original eating guidelines for Kapha and I feel great. I think this year I will hit my goal of losing 30 lbs more as I have already lost over 25 lbs. Im very comfortably with the diet and Im clear now what works for my body and what I have to avoid. Thanks again, and I look forward to doing more cleanses with you this year as I understand the value in them." Mitch Lee, Santa Barbara, CA, January 2013
