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.

Judy K., Ojai, CA (diet, weight gain, Vata, skin)

"Thank you Khabir. I now have gained weight in all the right places! On the Vata diet my sweet cheeks have returned!!" Judy K., Ojai, CA, March 2011

Joe Blu, Penang, Malaysia (diet, Ayurveda, Vata)

"After meeting with Khabir for only a few hours, I learned more about my body’s needs as a Vata as it is called in Ayurveda.  I had been told before about Ayurveda eating recommendations for my body-type but when Khabir explained it he made a complicated concept simple.  This showed me his deep understanding of the subject and how best I could care for my Vata body-type.  I was amazed that ALL of the foods that he recommended that I eat daily like seaweeds, miso and brown rice are already my favorites!  With a few exceptions most of the foods that are not supportive of my Vata body-type are foods that I don’t care much for anyway.  Then he went on and told me what supplements, herbs, spices and even oil were best for my body.  Everything he said completed resonated with me.  Now I understand that I need to eat like a Vata because I am a Vata!  Thank you Khabir." Joe Blu, Penang, Malaysia, March 2011

Amando Beccera, Los Angeles, CA (blood sugar, candida)

"Recently, I went to the doctor and was told I was pre-diabetic.  It was a bit of a surprise because I thought I was eating well even though I'm overweight. The doctor told me to improve my diet and start exercising.  I went to see Khabir with the understanding that he can help me prevent the onset of diabetes and all the complications as the doctor spoke about.  During Khabir's thorough assessment, it became clear i had candida which accounts for my low energy level and weakness particularly after eating.  I like the way Khabir explains everything and even showed me information from books and medical doctors so i could understand what candida is.  After Khabir gave me a lot of diabetic eating tips and advice, we went to the health food store and purchased some herbs and supplements to deal with the candida.  It's dead now.  I don't have any fungus in my gut anymore.  Now i understand how i got it and how to avoid it in the future, too.  I also feel confident about getting my blood sugar down and exercising more.  Khabir has also helped clarify many misconceptions I had about eating right and exercising." Amando Beccera, Los Angeles, CA, September 2010

Lily Maravilla, Los Angeles, CA (fatigue, weight)

"Living a hectic life in Los Angeles was enough to make me want to go to Ojai.  So I did just that.  I went to visit Khabir during one of his beautiful natural healing retreats.  I felt wonderful the moment I arrived.  We talked in detail about my desire to feel better, have more energy, have a great choice of foods to eat and most importantly, to stop drinking coffee for good.  He made it very easy for me to understand how important it is to just make the right choices that would benefit me in my life.  After 10 days with no coffee...okay, I've had one cup and honestly it tasted horrible.  I feel more alive with Khabir's help and the natural teas that he made up for me after a trip to the local health food market.  I love these teas.  On a more serious note, my husband came along for this journey and I cannot tell you how happy I am for him.  He has done a complete change in his diet - he's already lost 2" on his waistline, gave up all fruit juices, which were loaded with sugar.  He also gave up 90% of the carbs he was eating and is exercising more.  This all happened after Khabir spoke with him for a few hours.  I've been telling him about the sugar content of the juice, for 2 whole years.   I am just happy someone could make it clear and simple. Today we look at ourselves and wonder why we waited so long to do what makes us feel great!!!!!

Thank you, Khabir, for the knowledge and wisdom and for helping us help ourselves." Lily Maravilla, Los Angeles, CA March 2010

Autumn McIntosh, Los Angeles, CA (digestion)

"Chronic stomach problems and related ailments are things I had suffered with for the better part of my adult life.  I've tried various over-the-counter products and medications prescribed by my doctor, all of which just seemed to temporarily mask the discomfort I was experiencing.  It was not until my paths crossed with Khabir that I was able to finally get the relief I sought and deal with the problems I was having head-on.  By following Khabir's advice and recommendations, I began a regimen that included regular use of aloe vera, herbal teas and modifications to my diet.  Today, thanks to Khabir's knowledge and wisdom, my stomach problems are a thing of the past.  I have more energy and feel healthier and happier as a result." Autumn McIntosh, Los Angeles, CA, March 2010
