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.

"Life changing . . .
I began working with Khabir about six weeks ago. A more serendipitous connection could not have been made - an early morning thought that I needed to stop eating the way everyone else told me to and start eating the way my body was made to eat. My eating has completely changed - I eat now! After years of eating disorders and poor digestion and abuse of laxatives and teas, I am eating three meals and lots of yummy fruits as snacks and feeling hungry. I am no longer bloated and tired when I eat. I feel strong and vibrant and happy. Khabir is so knowledgable. And so wise. And a lovely man. I recommend him to any and everyone. What an incredible change in my life. Thank you!" Elizabeth Tutnauer Rose, Ojai, CA, August 2017
