Natural Interventions for Depression

Natural interventions work very well for depression. Dr Earl Mindell writes in "Natural Remedies for 150 Ailments" good natural remedies include vitamin B-complex, licorice root, St. John's wort, detoxification, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and avoidance of psychiatric drugs, alcohol, illicit drugs, extreme forms of dieting, and processed foods. Dr Harold Mandel also suggests trying to find time to spend outdoors in the fresh air daily. And spend time with your family whenever possible. Pets also help remarkably well to help lift a down mood. Dogs, cats and rabbits make particularly nice pets for around the home.
