Remedies for Depression

A cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years, Ashwagandha is a powerful adaptogen. Its name in Sanskrit means 'smell of the horse,' referring to both its unique scent and its ability to increase strength. It's used to combat stress, reduce anxiety, and improve energy levels and concentration.

Lavender's history spans over 2,500 years. The ancient Romans used it for bathing and its fragrance. Its name comes from the Latin 'lavare,' meaning 'to wash.' In traditional herbalism, it was used to calm the nerves, relieve headaches, and lift the spirits.

Named after John the Baptist, as it blooms around his feast day, St. John's Wort has been used since ancient Greece. It was traditionally used to 'drive out demons,' which is now interpreted as treating depression and anxiety. It was also applied topically to heal wounds and burns.
