Depression
Depression is a fairly loose term used to
describe a negative mental state which leaves people feeling very low.
However, there are a whole range of other symptoms that can vary from
person to person. Depression of some kind is considered fairly common,
affecting over 15 million Americans every year. But most sufferers are
able to get past their troubles if they rely on support or treatment
from the right sources.
Severe depression can destroy lives, and it’s for this reason that we
must all be on our guard to catch the blues and deal with our problems
head-on, when they first surface.
Depression’s varied signs and symptoms include the following:
• Sadness, anxiety, or feelings of emptiness
• A sense hopelessness
• Feelings of guilt
• Irritability or restlessness
• Fatigue and loss of energy
• Poor concentration and decision making
• Insomnia or prolonged sleep
• Considering or attempting suicide
Turmeric's healing power
Although we may be tempted to seek
medication for depression, unless recommended by a doctor, this may not
be the wisest choice, since all medications have side-effects of some
kind. The commonly prescribed drug, Prozac, has seen some very worrying
side-effects that you will want to avoid. The worst being: stomach
bleeding, difficulty breathing, and increased suicidal tendencies. 
What you can do instead is make use of some of mother nature’s own
spices that themselves work like wonder drugs. One such is turmeric, a
marvelous spice that can aid in the fight against many different
diseases such as: skin cancer, stomach disorders, arthritis, diarrhea,
liver disorders, and jaundice.
Some of the health benefits of turmeric include:
• Antioxidant properties
• Anti-inflammatory benefits
• Boost brain power
• Reduced chance of heart disease
• Helps combat depression
According to research, turmeric contains
the ingredient curcumin, which has the same anti-depressant effects as
Prozac’s chief ingredient fluoxetine, but turmeric does not cause any
side-effects.
WARNING: Please consult with your doctor before taking turmeric in
combination with any other medication.
