The emotional and physical symptoms such as loss of appetite, emptiness, apathy, guilt, fatigue, anxiety, sadness, insomnia, muscle tension, headache are some of the symptoms of depression – one of the most common mental illness today.Because of the exhausting fast pace of life and frequent exposure to stressful situations many people occasionally experience the symptoms mentioned above. They take various drugs and antidepressants without consulting their doctor. Some of them may have the unpleasant side effects. Choosing natural antidepressants foods can reduce the unpleasant side effects.
It should be noted that herbal medicines are primarily used to treat depression of lower intensity. That’s why people with physical symptoms are advised first to consult a doctor. Also, people under any therapy should consult their doctor because some herbs can affect the usage of drugs. We present the most commonly used natural antidepressants that strengthen the nervous system.
Valerian as Natural Antidepressant
The most efficient tincture
In a glass bottle or jar, put 50 g crushed valerian root and cover it with 40% alcohol. Seal the mixture well and leave it in a warm place for 21 days. Strain, and put the liquid in a dark glass bottle and store in a cool place. Take 25 drops of tincture dissolved in a little water once or twice a day.
Valerian tea
Steep one teaspoonful of dried, and crushed valerian root in 2 dl near-boiling water and leave it covered for 30minutes. Strain the liquid and optionally sweeten it with honey. Drink several times a day and before going to bed. Since this plant has a bit of unpleasant smell, tea can be prepared in combination with other aromatic herbs.
St. John’s wort as Natural Antidepressant
St John’s Wort Tea
Steep one teaspoonful of dried, and crushed flowers of St John’s Wort in 2,5 dl near-boiling water and leave it covered for 15 minutes. Strain the liquid and optionally sweeten it with honey. Drink several times a day and before going to bed for six weeks.
Lavender as Natural Antidepressants
Lavender Tea
Steep two teaspoonfuls of lavender flowers in 2 dl near-boiling water and leave it covered for 10 minutes. Strain the liquid and optionally sweeten it with honey. Drink two cups a day, one of which before going to bed.
Melissa, Lemon balm or Lemongrass as Natural Antidepressants
Melissa Tea
Steep two tablespoonfuls of lemon balm in ½ liter near-boiling water and leave them covered for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid and divide it into three doses. Drink throughout the day. It is recommended to drink unsweetened tea before a meal. You can sweeten the tea if you take it after a meal.
Chamomile as Natural Antidepressants
Lime as Natural Antidepressants
Hop as Natural Antidepressants
Hops tea
Steep two teaspoonfuls of flowers of hop in 2.5 dl near-boiling water and leave it covered for 10 minutes. Strain the liquid and drink in sips half an hour before bedtime. You can use linden honey as a sweetener.
Ginkgo biloba as Natural Antidepressants
Diet
What to avoid
Try not to eat processed foods as well as foods that are high in saturated fat, hydrogenated fats, or sugar. It’s best to curb your alcohol consumption, too. All of these foods contain chemicals that can create disturbances in your body functions, particularly the production of brain chemicals that affect mood.
Eliminate caffeine, as it can aggravate anxiety symptoms. For some people, as little as 200 milligrams of caffeine—about 2 cups of brewed coffee—can cause rapid heartbeat, sweating, and shakiness. Remember, too, that caffeine is not limited to regular coffee; it’s also found in tea, chocolate, cocoa, and cola beverages. Even some over-the-counter medications contain caffeine.
What to eat
When you want to calm down, one of the best medicines is carbohydrates, and that includes complex carbs like potatoes, pasta, bread, beans, and cereal. Build your meals around fresh, nutrient-dense choices such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
For the fastest temporary tranquility fix, eat nature’s sweet stuff—honey or sugar. Nature’s way of calming down the brain and relieving stress and anxiety may be surprising, although the remedy has been used for centuries. A taste of honey before going to bed was commonly recommended by our forefathers to bring on sleep.
The ancient Egyptians used onions to induce relaxation and sleep. There may be something to it. A compound quercetin which is a mild sedative is found in yellow and red onions.

It is very appealing topic you’ve written here.
The simple truth is I’m not really acquainted with this, but I think this is an excellent chance to learn more about.
Thank you.

I urge you to try. When you feel depressed, nervous … try some herb tea instead of pills

Love this article. My fiance is very anti medication. I have been wanting to brew lemon balm tea for some time now. One thing that has helped us is magnesium supplements. I read that it affects serotonin levels and decreases anxiety. Might go along with your eating better theory since broccoli and such has higher magnesium levels. I’ve noticed a difference. Can’t wait to try more of your tips. My brother also had a tip for people who are on xanax. Your body rapidly assimilates benzodiazepine. So if you do take it for more than 3 consecutive days you will absolutely feel a decrease in the ability to calm your nerves. Essentially after 3 days your body is now saying “so what”. Healthy techniques like you mentioned are much more beneficial. Thanks again for the post.

Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up
what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
ekuzevska
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate that. I never receive your first comment. I approved all comments till now
About the tips. Don’t rewrite other peoples posts. Be unique. Write topics you know everything about and promote them on all social media
If they are good people will read them.

I think that everything said was actually very logical.
However, think on this, suppose you typed a catchier title?
I am not suggesting your content is not solid, however suppose you added a post title that makes
people want more? I mean Calm Down Naturally With These Natural Antidepressants – Healthy Lifestyle is a little vanilla.
You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and see how they write news headlines to get
people to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people interested about
what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it could
bring your posts a little livelier.
