It is characerized by feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities generally. These feelings can decrease your ability to function at work and at home. Depression can vary from mild to severe:
Therapy is often highly effective for depression. A strong spiritual practice can keeps one's circumstances in perspective, and reveals the broader picture and the redemptive quality of suffering. How is God trying to transform you through these circumstances? It is helpful to contemplate, what is your true source of hope? If you have feelings of suicide, called suicide ideation, seek help immediately by calling 911 or the suicide help hotline (988). Depression & AyurvedaDepression, in the most fundamental sense of the word, is a stagnation (Kapha in nature) and is closely associated with Cold biocharacteristic.However, mental stagnation can result from any of the doshas, from stress and overwhelm, or feelings of failure or shame. Thus depression can be multi-factorial, involving all of the body types. Stagnation can be cleared through aromatic, mood lifting herbs like lemon balm. Many of these are also antispasmodics that can ease tension and open up blood flow to the brain. Sour tasting foods like cranberries open up blood flow and flush glands, refreshing and revitalizing the mind. These are often antioxidant and alterative which help tor estore proper blood chemistry. Healthy blood is essential for a happy nervous system as nerves are highly effected by blood chemistry changes. It is generally helpful to reduce toxins (ama). Toxins disturb the nervous system. Eat a diet appropriate for your doshas. Daily exercise greatly improves mood. Foods that are high in Omega-3 fatty acids improve brain function and lift mood. ARE YOU NEW TO AYURVEDA?

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.
John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 7 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
