Depression strikes millions each year, often with debilitating consequences. Depression can affect anyone, even if the person is living in relatively ideal circumstances.
Natural Remedies for Depression
Ayurveda offers a natural way to cure mental disorders of depression, stress, and anxiety. It involves the natural herbs, which are safe and free from any side-effects. Depression in Ayurveda is known as ‘Vishadha’. Ayurveda cures the disease by balancing the aggravated doshas. There are three doshas in the body- Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. All these doshas must be in a balanced state to live a healthy life.
The Ayurvedic principles work on the inherent powers of the herbs that have the ability to bring the three vital energies (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha)back into harmony. The restoration of the balance of energy helps in proper functioning of the body system.

What Causes Depression?
Despite intensive research, the actual cause of depression is still unknown. But there are a number of factors that may increase the chance of depression.
Factors that play a role in depression:
Change in certain chemicals in the brain may contribute to depression. Depression can run in families. If a family member has suffered from this disorder, chances are that you might too. People who have low self-esteem, pessimistic and are easily overwhelmed by stress are more likely to experience depression. Continuous exposure to violence, neglect, abuse or poverty may cause depression. Sadness or grief from the death or loss of a loved one may increase the risk of depression.
