As we mentioned in previous articles depression is a normal response as part of our daily lives such as the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, or illness. Over 30 million Americans suffer from depression and the amount is increasing in an alarming rate. Depression may be a mental disorder that can affect the way you eat and sleep, and the way you feel about yourself. In this article, we will discuss how to treat depression with home-made medicines.

1. Mixture of spinach and carrot

Put half a cup of spinach and some carrot in the juicer, then drinking the mixture everyday will help to relieve the symptoms of depression. In fact, carrot contains beta-carotene, one of the most powerful antioxidant that helps to rejuvenate our body by blocking the forming of free radicals, and spinach contains high amounts of iron that helps increase the blood circulation resulting in more oxygen to the body's cells.

2. Eat 2 ripe bananas everyday

Bananas contain potassium, serotomin and norepinephrine rae that is said to help relieve symptoms of depression and increase energy for the body.

3. Drink ginger tea

Put 3 to 4 quarter sizes of fresh ginger in 1 cups of boiling water for 5 minutes then drink it. Drinking 3 cups everyday is said to help improve memory, energy and physical activity. In fact, ginger is one of nature's superfoods that not only help to improve blood and oxygen circulation but also helps to enhance the production of certain hormones.

4. Sage tea with honey

Steep one sage tea bag in a cup of warm water for five minutes then add 1 tablespoon of honey before drinking. 3 cups a day will help to improve sleeping and sharpen memory and brain power.

5. Peppermint tea
