Home Remedy for Mental Fatigue and Depression

May 6th, 2007 | admin

Mental fatigue is akin to modern busy lifestyle. There can be different reasons for depression. The main among them is due to suppressed emotions. Decreased nutrition to brain and nervous system is another reason.

Simple Ayurvedic home remedies and lifestyle adjustment can help you fight loneliness, depression and mental fatigue.

Wake up early in the morning (before 5’o clock) and practice yoga, listen to music and do things that are most pleasurable to you.

Practice slow breathing.

Practice meditation.

Lavishly apply coconut oil or some Ayurvedic hair oil on your head and retain it for 30-90 minutes before bathing.

Inhale the smell of rose. Rosemary is also a good aromatherapy mood enhancer.

Reduce intake of coffee. Though coffee temporarily lifts your mood, it quickly pushes you to depressed state.

Avoid fatty food. Take fresh fruits and drink lots of water.

Give up smoking. The chemicals in cigarette block free exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide at the lungs, thereby effectively reducing the amount of oxygen in your blood.

Take an apple with milk and honey.

Chew the seeds of a cardamom three to four times a day. If you donÂ’t like the idea of chewing cardamom seeds, you can also boil one or two cardamom in a glass of water and drink it. Add sugar or honey for taste.

Take 500mg Ashwagandha extract capsule two or three times a week. You need to consult an Ayurvedic physician before starting using ashwagandha.

If you have a stagnant life, find some activities or join any activity group. Better still participate in lightly competitive and funny events.

Avoid staying awake after 10pm. This will preserve energy to start your day on a positive note.
