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.

Jane Blake, Austin, TX (weight, detox, herbs)

"Thank you Khabir for helping me lose more than 80 lbs over the last five or six months. So many people told me how to lose weight but did not understand me like you. You were right that as soon as I cleaned my colon and detoxed by liver with your herbs I started losing weight steadily. I thought I was eating "good" but you showed me that I was not eating "right". What amazes me is that I'm eating 3 meals a day with apples in between meals and I'm losing weight steadily without much exercise, just walking each night. Now I can see that it was all of your advice and those terrible tasting herbs that did the job. I recommend you to everyone I know who is struggling with weight. I can not thank you enough." Jane Blake, Austin, TX, November 2014

Sara Medina, Ventura, CA (IBS, weight, diet, digestion, Ayurveda, energy)

"After a year of suffering from severe IBS, food intolerances and antibiotic resistant h.pylori, I had dropped to a dangerously low weight of 87 pounds. My doctors did not have solutions for me and it was a very scary time! Khabir came to my college to teach on nutritional deficiencies and for the first time I felt there might be some hope for my situation so I started seeing him as a patient. Indeed, he was able to bring immediate relief to some of my digestive problems and vitamin deficiencies thru the Ayurveda diet, herbs and spices, teas, and food based supplements. The results have been amazing and I feel like I have some control back of my life! Not only am I eating food that is very tasty – I have actually gained some weight back, my energy level has increased, my sleep has improved, and I am no longer running to the bathroom all day. The road hasn't been easy but I really appreciate Khabir’s close follow up of my situation thru food diaries, e-mail communication, and face-to-face educational sessions. He’s always there if I need support and gets me back on track if I’m having a setback. I highly recommend anyone having digestive or nutritional problems to seek Khabir’s help, he is very knowledgeable and will take the time that is needed to understand your unique situation and will work closely with you to find solutions!" Sara Medina, Ventura, CA, November 2014

Maria Blair, Santa Barbara, CA (digestion, skin, energy, Ayurveda)

"I have been Khabir's patient for only one month so far but the results are fantastic: my digestion improved, I sleep better, my skin looks great and I have much more energy during the day. His deep knowledge of Ayurveda and his skills as a Master Herbalist are life changing. He is the first health practitioner I know who really gets to know his patients and provides a highly individual treatments. He is also very easy to talk to and is very generous with his time so you don't feel rushed during the session. You will always leave with lots of valuable information and clear understanding of your condition. I am very happy that we have such an amazing holistic health practitioner in our area! I highly recommend him to everybody." Maria Blair, Santa Barbara, CA, November 2014

Joanna Miller, Flint, MI (digestion, herbs, support)

"Thanks Khabir for your patience and follow-up with all my questions. I am so happy that I found someone who can help me with all my MANY health issues with herbs. I like doing the treatments at home and I have noticed many improvements in my health even though I just contacted you about my digestion. Thanks again for your support and guidance." Joanna Miller, Flint, MI, November 2014

Jennifer Adams, TN (PMS, herbs, energy, mood)

"I have noticed much improvement in my PMS since starting Khabir's PMS tea two months ago. This month I had no PMS at all until the day before my period.  I started my period today and no cramps which was great.  My mood and energy is very good today too and normally I'm completely drained of energy around this time every month.  Calm powder is really helping in those times of anxiety and also aiding me in getting a good, deep sleep and waking up feeling refreshed and not hung over in the morning."  Jennifer Adams, TN, November 2014

I was not sick to begin with and now I look forward to leading an EVEN MORE energetic life in my golden years. I can make intelligent choices about which foods are best for my body type.
