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 am back on focusing fully on Ayurveda. I went through a roller coaster of trying new things just to test out what happens when I don't practice Ayurveda. Conclusion is, Ayurveda just works. It has helped my body reach it's optimal state of health, eliminating waste, and getting me back to my healthy weight all the while giving me the energy for my crazy busy schedule. Just because it's a "super food" or "healthy" doesn't necessarily mean it's for your body everybody's body is constituted differently. What's a super food for you may not be a super food for me and vice verse. Want to find out what your doshas are constituted of? Contact world renowned Dr. Khabir Southwick for more information."
