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.

Sarah Uma, Santa Barbara, CA (talk, herbs, kidneys, detox)

"Khabir embodies the true model of healing. He also knows the power of humor to heal at a deep level. Laughter is the best medicine!  Thank you Khabir for being a model of holistic healing!  Working with Khabir has been a delight. I had great success with one of his herb tea's that balanced my kidneys relieving so many symptoms and his consistent loving support through a colon cleanse added to my healing." Sarah Uma, Santa Barbara, CA, December 2013

Donald B., Ojai, CA (pain, detox, diet)

"I was suffering from severe pain in my lower back, buttocks and thighs, and it was diagnosed as sciatica pain. My orthopedic doctor said that I have a herniated disk in my lower spine and needed surgery. This was also causing poor bowl movement and difficulty urinating. I went to Khabir as a last resort and he recommended that I watch my diet and gave me a 10 page instruction manual on my body type and the type of food I must consume without any exceptions. I was ready to do anything and followed his advice and within a period of 2 weeks, my pain started easing. I was no longer having difficulty walking and managed to cut down on the pain medication I was on. The problems related to my bowl movement disappeared. I know the process of healing will be a slow and a long one but I am read to stick to his recommendations. I am truly grateful that I found him." Donald B. Ojai, CA, December 2013 (via Yelp)

"Working with khabir was a tremendous and brilliant experience. During the first session he told me that I’m a vata dosha type. His holistic approach to healing is stunning. I have never had a sound sleep and I didn’t eat properly. He supplied me with natural remedies, and gave me some guidance. Now, my life has changed in so many ways. Thank you very much for your advice and assistance. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Khabir's services to anyone requiring health support." Yasmin, Alami, Morocco, December 2013

"I just wanted to thank Khabir for helping me with my migraine. The headaches were so bad that I could not get out of bed, I have a family to look after and not being able to work is the worst feeling in the whole word. I changed the type of food I eat based on his diagnosis and knock on wood, I haven't had any headaches for 2 months. I will keep coming back for his advice, he is a life saver." Bruce C., Ojai, CA, December 2013 (via Yelp)
