Which Ayurvedic Medicines for Depression Work Best for Long-Term Mental Health? - #13073
I have been struggling with mood swings, stress, and mild depression, and I want to explore Ayurvedic medicines for depression as a natural alternative. Ayurveda focuses on balancing the mind and body rather than just altering brain chemistry, which makes me curious about its effectiveness for mental health. Some commonly recommended Ayurvedic medicines for depression include Brahmi, Ashwagandha, Jatamansi, Vacha, and Shankhpushpi. But how effective are these compared to modern antidepressants? Do they help with emotional balance, or do they mainly work for mild cases of stress and anxiety? Also, are there specific Panchakarma therapies like Nasya or Shirodhara that can help in managing depression? If anyone has tried Ayurvedic medicines for depression, please share your experience. How long did it take to see improvements? Did you have to follow any specific lifestyle or dietary changes to support the treatment?
