The word 'depression' applies to a whole range of emotions, from the mild discouragement we feel at missing a bus to major depression, a serious mental illness with a variety of symptoms including guilt, fatigue, and exaggerated fears. A major depression would call for a number of different remedies and would also require medical help.
Some remedies that are commonly associated with a variety of depression levels and causes are: Gentian (for determination); Gorse (for a sense of faith and hope); Mustard (for a return to joy on cloudy days); and Sweet Chestnut (light at the end of the tunnel).
The remedies deal with the emotional cause and not the effect, treating the patient and not the malady. The remedies work by gently restoring balance to negative emotions, not suppressing them but transforming them into positive ones thus stimulating self-healing. They can be custom blended for whatever is going on in your life.
