Depression is a problem striking you at some point in your life. Women too succumb to be the victims of depression especially after the birth of their child before menopause and after menstruation.

Depression takes different forms as it can be in the form of anxiety, stress, weight gain, loss of appetite etc. To ensure relief choose Ayurvedic oils for stress and depression. To cope up with depression incorporate the following regime into your day to day schedule

• • A routine medication program is to be followed to reduce mental, and physical and emotional stress
• • You should go to bed before 10 p.m. if possible earlier all the more better. For proper emotional health getting enough amount of rest is important. Night refreshes your body and mind. Once you stay awake after 10 p.m. meaning the pitta of your body starts, the cravings increase and there is a strong urge to consume junk food. Even if you consume healthy food at this point of time it can create problems with digestion where the night time is needed to clean up the impurities. Once you sleep after 10 pm it produces a restful sleep and you are likely to wake up in the morning with less emotional stress
• • With the rising sun wake up. If you wake up early the scope of depression reduces as once you wake up late it forces the channels of communication to be clogged by impurities. A low communication mind is established between mind and body paving way for depressed moods.
• • When the sun is raising walk outdoors and practice deep breathing. To cope up with depression daily exercise is the key. Exercise contributes to positive thoughts and improves your mood. While walking in the early sun you open up the channels of communication. This works out to be one of the effective Ayurvedic treatments for stress relief.
• • Elimination is the key every morning. Constipation can add to the problem of dullness and depression. In case if the elimination is blocked you can start your day with figs, cooked apples etc. Increase your water intake during the day and meals should be had at the same time of the day. The main meal needs to be during the day time followed by a light meal at night. An early morning walk would go a long way in ensuring that your elimination is well on track.
• • Consumption of spices like black pepper as they foster better communication between various functions of the mind.
• • Consumption of intelligent foods is the key. Opt for foods that are natural and do not contain unprocessed food. The light drinks are not going to increase kasha and enlighten your mood. For example you can opt for Ayurveda buttermilk as this is not the same one that you come across in the stores.

To conclude try to give yourself an Ayurveda massage during the day. This increases circulation and allows the toxins to be released from the body, calms your mind and slows down your emotional drain.
