mustard flower essence for depression

[Ruth]

I don't know about studies, but have fought depression much of my adult life. The Bach remedies have been helpful to me in the past, as has the St. John's Wort (I wouldn't mix the two, though). The thing that has been the most helpful to me is sunshine! Oddly enough, living in Texas, I suffered so terribly from outdoor allergies that I spent a great deal of time indoors and probably didn't get enough sunshine, and consequently not enough Vitamin D. Now that I live in a colder climate, I find myself spending much more time outdoors, and have added light therapy and a Vitamin D supplement durning those times I can't get outside.

The second thing that has been of great benefit to me in my fight against depression is exercise! I have a treadmill in my home office and try to spend at least 15 minutes a day walking. Even that minimal amount of physical activity helps tremendously!

Love and light to you both!
