The Best Natural Treatment for Depression With Long-Lasting Results

INSIDE: Depression is plaguing many Americans these days, which isn’t surprising due to the state of the world. Thankfully, there is a highly effective natural treatment for depression that has lasting results.

As everyone has been a witness to, people are experiencing more fears and emotions than ever before. 

Everything as we know seems to be changing and this can be unsettling, creating confusion and chaos.  There are environmental changes, changes within our political system, our healthcare is up in a tizzy, and there is division amongst our family and friends.

As so much is in flux, many are clamoring for solutions. There's a high demand for cannabis products, antidepressants, and anti-anxiety medications.

Depression – or major depressive disorder – is a mood disorder. It is one of the most common mood disorders in the United States. Symptoms can be disabling and include long-term feelings of sadness, guilt, or despair. People with depression may lose interest in daily activities. They can experience anxiety, sleep problems, and suicidal thoughts. 

Experts do not fully understand how depression develops. Genes, brain chemicals, stress, and other environmental factors play an important role.

Before we look at the best natural treatment for depression, let’s first look at pharmaceuticals and the impact they are having on this condition. 

Antidepressants

These drugs work by balancing brain chemicals that are involved in depression. There are various classes of antidepressants; the different classes influence different chemicals. As a result, the side effects of antidepressants can vary.

And it’s not just limited to adults. In fact, a report by a company that executes drug plans for health care providers in the U.S. analyzed the records of 300,000 children under the age of 19 and found that more is being spent on behavioral-related drugs for children than on antibiotics and asthma medications. This is the result of a greater than 25% increase in the number of children using these types of drugs. Plus, children remain on these medications for longer periods of time.

Homeopathy: The Best Natural Treatment for Depression

In lieu of the overwhelming statistics, there are solutions for depression and anxiety that don't require taking chemical medicine for a lifetime.

Homeopathy is a natural treatment for depression that can offer you relief from mild to severe depression. The key to success is finding the remedy that matches your unique emotional and physical needs.

Now is the time of year when many do not feel the holiday cheer. Quite the opposite – they may feel more sadness, depression, and anxiety due to a prior happening in their lives. This is where homeopathy shines, as remedies can provide fast, lasting relief and healing. 

Part of the reason these natural remedies are so effective is that they match your personality and the individual symptoms that are unique to you. For example, the homeopathic remedy, Ignatia, uplifts people who become depressed after the death of a loved one. And there have been many in the last few years who have experienced this. 

A Homeopathy Success Story

I treated a man some years ago, whom I never met in person; I took his case by phone. He had been in the war and suffered battle injuries, lost his house and wife to a divorce, and only had a part-time job.  He felt he was doomed to a life of unhappiness.

When he was referred to me, he was at a point where he took his gun to bed each night and the only reason he didn't use it was because he had two dogs and wasn't sure who would take care of them. He was lower than low and needed help right away. 

Fortunately, I was able to select a great remedy that worked quickly to rally him, and he gave his gun away, never to be in this place again. I continued to treat him throughout his lifetime for other illnesses and he was extremely grateful for how much homeopathy changed his life.

This natural treatment for depression is so effective because it can bring wholeness to the body and lasting transformation.

Fast Results Without the Need for Continued Use

Although prescription drugs can also ease depression, they have some shortcomings. Antidepressants do not cure you. In many cases, you're expected to use them for life and risk side effects like insomnia, headaches, and reduced sex drive. And some people taking antidepressants develop dependency and experience withdrawal if they stop taking them.

As one of the best natural treatments for depression, homeopathy has none of these problems. Instead of suppressing symptoms, the remedies deliver minuscule amounts of natural substances that are thought to boost the body's own healing powers. A person undergoing a bout of depression commonly takes only one to four doses of a homeopathic remedy before experiencing relief. 

The scores of practitioners that are my colleagues and the clients I've worked with in 25+ years of practice tell me repeatedly that administering the correct homeopathic remedy lifts depression within hours and provides lasting relief for many. 

A groundbreaking study on this subject was published in Alternative Therapies in 1997. Researchers at the Duke Medical Center in Durham, N.C. followed 12 patients with depression or a social phobia who were experiencing mild to severe symptoms. They received homeopathic treatment for seven to eighty weeks. By the end of the study, seven patients, or 58 percent, had responded favorably. 

Final Thoughts

This natural treatment for depression can make all the difference. If you are feeling these intense emotions and desire to experience a better quality of life, please give homeopathy a try. But, while homeopathy can be effective, it’s the practitioner that provides the catalyst to unlocking the root problem.
