Find the best depression cure for you: homeopathy can offer you relief from mild to severe depression
Author : Dana Ullman
Homeopathic remedies can provide a fast, lasting cure for depression. Part of the reason these natural remedies are so effective is that they match your personality and individual symptoms. For example, the remedy Ignatia uplifts people who become depressed after the death of a loved one.
Although prescription drugs can also ameliorate depression, they have some shortcomings. Antidepressants do not cure you. In many cases, you're expected to use them for life and risk side effects like insomnia, headaches, and reduced sex drive. And some people taking antidepressants develop dependency and experience withdrawal if they stop taking them.
Homeopathy has none of these problems. Instead of suppressing symptoms, the remedies deliver minuscule amounts of natural substances that are thought to boost your body's healing powers. A person undergoing a bout of depression commonly takes only one to four doses of a homeopathic remedy before experiencing relief. The scores of practitioners I work with as a homeopathic educator have told me repeatedly that administering the correct homeopathic remedy can lift depression within hours and provide lasting relief for their patients.
Most of the evidence supporting the effectiveness of homeopathy for depression is anecdotal. But one groundbreaking study on this subject was published in Alternative Therapies in 1997. Researchers at the Duke Medical Center Durham , N.C.

What to Take, What to Expect
Once you've chosen a remedy, take one dose of the 30X or 30C potency every six to 12 hours, up to four doses for a bout of depression. Stop taking the remedy if your depression lifts. If you notice no difference after four doses, wait 72 hours, and if nothing has changed, choose another remedy or see a homeopath.
Homeopathic remedies sometimes initiate a healing process that leads to skin rashes, nasal discharge, coughing, early and profuse menstruation, and other symptoms. Practitioners consider these changes a normal part of the healing process. They should go away within a few hours to a few days. You'll know they signify healing if you also improve psychologically. If a homeopathic medicine provides relief for no longer than two weeks, and you've tried it for three or more bouts of depression, consider seeking professional homeopathic or mental health care.
