Mental health is vital to well-being. Without a healthy brain, the rest of the body will begin to shut down and function less effectively. It’s no coincidence that depressed people are fatigued and too tired to participate. Sleep may be a factor, but the mind is pulling strings.
Turning to pills is an easy option. They’re available over-the-counter if a doctor won’t prescribe meds. The downside of popping pills is that they kill off brain cells and send people into a catatonic state.
Sure, they’re powerful yet they are too dangerous for some. Thankfully, organic recipes are on hand to help. Here are four to consider when you’re feeling blue.

Eurycoma Longifolia
Also known as Tongkat Ali, it’s a plant from Southeast Asia. Groups from Malaysia and Indonesia in particular use it as an aphrodisiac. Forget Viagra, guys, because this root will have you ready and raring in no time. Why is it suitable for depression? It’s because when you buy Tongkat Ali extract you are getting a shot of testosterone. Rather than taking steroids though, you can crush it into a paste of boil it down and make tea. Men suffering from mental health problems tend to have low levels of the hormone, which leads experts to believe it can help. Women can take it too.
Fish And Leafy Greens
Combining the two into a smoothie is in the thing at the moment. For anyone who finds the idea repulsive, you can eat them as a meal. There’s no need to inject them straight into the bloodstream. It’ll be a needle to the eyeball next. Fish such as salmon and tuna contain lots of omega-3 fatty acids, while kale and spinach are full of folic acid. Both are proven to enhance mood and lift the gloom. Avoid junk food because the grease and saturated fats are sure to encourage negative emotions.
Hot Chocolate
Chocolate does have health benefits, but they are mainly physical. For example, dark choc helps to relieve blood pressure and lower cholesterol. Just don’t eat it in large portions or else it will have the opposite effect. In truth, there are no direct impacts of cocoa on mood. But, hot chocolate is a fantastic natural sleeping pill. A mug of warm liquid before bed tends to force the eyes to close. Plus, it encourages a healthy quality of shut-eye also. Insomnia escalates the issue, so battle back with a drowsiness shot.
Saffron
Breaking off the stems of this herb and ingesting it can treat mild to moderate depression. Even infusing it in food and drink can help settle nerves and anxiety. The problem is the cost. Saffron is as expensive as gold so it isn’t going to be cheap. There are ways around it, such as buying it from a wholesaler or importing from Asia. India is particularly cheap relative to the rest of the world. Other than that, you can dry out a crocus and make your own.
Do you feel alone? Don’t, because where there is a will, there is a way, naturally.
