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.

Angela Stevens, Oak View, CA (depression, diet, herbs, support)

"Thank you to my herbalist Khabir....who has come along side of me the past 7 months to help me get off my anti-depressant medication that I have been taking for 11 years. I've been drug free for 10 weeks. . . . Khabir addressed my diet, supplement intake, and mixed herb formulas and teas to ease the painful withdrawals. We incorporated a total organic, [wholefood] diet. My kids eat Ezekiel bread, drink raw milk, eat cashew butter instead of peanut butter, and YES they give me a little bit of a challenge about it....but when there is nothing else to eat they accept it. I'm learning patience. Khabir has been a pivotal person in my healing. Thank for teaching me how to take care of my health!" Angela Stevens, Oak View, CA, May 2013

Julie Christensen, Ojai, CA (weight, herbs)

"I got so much out of working with you on my weight loss . I don't always do it right, but when I do, I get results. I've lost 7 pounds that have really stayed off, and I have a much better relationship with food and food-based supplements and herbs. Thank you!" Julie Christensen, Ojai, CA, May 2013

Mia Willson, Carpinteria, CA (herbs, PMS, digestion)

"Teas are great! I drink them all day! I did the PMS tea for a few days and loved it. Supplements are great so far too! I am taking the probiotics. I do notice a difference. My digestion has improved significantly. My body loves the spices and warm food and teas. I feel better! Thank you so much Khabir! I feel like I'm saving money, too!"  Mia Willson, Carpinteria, CA, April 2013

Yasmin Himish, Rabat, Morocco (insomnia, herbs, service)

"I suffered from insomnia most of my life; so lack of sleep stresses me out. After drinking Khabir's herbal teas my sleeping issues disappeared within a few days. Goodbye to puffy eyes! Khabir’s treatment's and advice have changed my life enormously; I appreciate his assistance and kindness tremendously! I still can believe that such a simple and easy lifestyle could reverse my health.   He greatly improved my health and I'm very grateful for that.  In addition, he is professional, knowledgeable, and overall just fantastic!  If you are looking for a natural alternative to treatment for your health conditions, I would highly recommend Khabir." Yasmin Himish, Rabat, Morocco, April 2013

Jeff Hoffman, Oak View, CA (kidneys, pain, diet, herbs, weight, energy, mood)

"When I first contacted Khabir I was in extreme pain caused by a kidney stone. This kidney stone was ¼ by ½ inch long, making it the largest of nearly two hundred stones I have passed in the last thirty five years.  I have been on many different diets and have tried western medicine, acupuncture, herbs, and other remedies during that time. Anyone that has experienced the process of passing a kidney stone knows how intense the pain is.  With Khabir’s coaching and other herbal remedies I have used in the past, I brought my pain down to a more manageable level and was able to pass the stone on my own at home. I have incorporated his diet plan into my life, and have lost twenty eight pounds. I feel more energetic and have a more positive outlook on life. Khabir is both knowledgeable and professional. Anyone looking for a healthier lifestyle and an alternative to western medicine can benefit from his advice." Jeff Hoffman, Oak View, CA, April 2013

Christopher Makaton, Ojai, CA (insomnia)

Sumi Jones, Santa Barbara, CA (talk)

Dore' andGuido, Ojai, CA (Ayurveda, insomnia, immunity, energy, digestion, diet)

"Khabir's highly knowledgeable and exceptionally thorough understanding of Ayurveda is a health-enhancing gift to others.  Within just 7 days on my Ayurveda diet, my physical constitution felt far more balanced, calmer and I slept much better. Seven months on the diet and my immune system is significantly stronger and my energy has increased overall.  My spouse had a consultation with Khabir also.  He's able to sleep better and his digestive system improved significantly.  We love eating based on Ayurveda principles.  The foods are tasty, highly nutritious and fulfilling. An unforeseen benefit is we're saving $200+ each month on our food bill.  Ayurveda is an intricately designed, intelligent system that determines a customized, optimal way of eating based on ones individual constitution. We thank you Khabir for your valuable service." Dore' and Guido, Ojai, CA, January 2013

Sherrie, Ojai, CA (weight, diet)

"You really helped my partner Steve.  In addition to losing some weight, he has stayed away from wheat, beer and milk (as I have been trying to encourage him to do for years!)  So glad your words hit home for him. Also, he is committed to eating a healthier diet, which really makes me happy. Thank you so much!" Sherrie, Ojai, CA, January 2013

Mitch Lee, Santa Barbara, CA (weight, diet, detox, energy, Kapha)

"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

Jeff Hoffman, Oak View, CA (weight)

"I have been following your advise and have lost 23 pounds since I last saw you." Jeff Hoffman, Oak View, CA, January 2013
