Home Remedies for Depression
CARDAMOM TEA AS A HOME REMEDY FOR DEPRESSION
The seeds of cardomom contain volatile oils that have been found to be effective for treating depression. Simply boil a cup of water, and then add two cardomom seeds into the boiling water. The seeds should be squashed gently before adding them to the water so that they open up from one end. Leave the seeds in the boiling water for 3 minutes, and then strain the tea into a mug. Drink this tea twice per day.

DEPRESSION TREATMENT WITH AN APPLE
Apples contain a number of essential vitamins and minerals including Vitamin B, potassium, and phosphorous that are beneficial for nerve cells. Therefore, an apple can help to recharge the nervous system, which makes it an effective depression remedy.

VITAMIN B AS A DEPRESSION TREATMENT
Since a deficiency of Vitamin B is a major contributing factor for depression, increasing Vitamin B intake is an effective depression remedy. Vitamin B supplements can be taken, but there are also a number of natural foods that are rich in the vitamin as well such as cashews, fish, shellfish (clams, oysters, mussels), liver, eggs, and green vegetables (spinach, green peas, asparagus, broccoli).

EXERCISE TO TREAT DEPRESSION
While we know that exercise helps keep the body physically fit, it also helps keep us mentally fit and aids in relaxing the mind. Mental relaxation helps reduce stress and anxiety, thereby providing a natural way to treat depression.
