Non-Medicinal Treatment For Mood Swings and Short Tempers

By Vladi Bergman

Are you finding yourself to be short-tempered or perhaps you simply can get clarity mentally? Maybe you’re experiencing emotional distress or mood swings? A visit to your medical profession or doctor could get you some medication to help.

Or instead of getting on that prescription merry-go-round, you could try non-medicinal ways to fight those things. We’re going to talk about using herbs – an all-natural way to control your mood swings with the beneficial properties they offer.

Just like losing weight, it takes more than exercising. You must look at your diet and eating habits. Things such as alcohol, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, food additives, and processed foods can throw the human body out of balance, physically and mentally.

In addition to replacing as much of your normal foods with organic foods, and adding one or more of these herbs to your diet, you’ll find you have better control over your moods:

1. Ginseng
We recently had a blog here about ginseng and the different variations of it. For centuries it has been used by the Chinese. This root is used to make an herb that increases energy levels and vitality. It has also been known to increase focus and improve the emotional state.

2. Kava Kava
For centuries, this plant has been consumed as a ceremonial drink in the South Pacific islands. It calms the central nervous system, allowing you to relax and reduce stress from the body and eases anxieties.

3. Passionflower
Passionflower is said to reduce ADHD, anxiety, insomnia, and nervousness. It also has been credited with boosting overall mental health and mood.

4. Rhodiola Rosea
Rhodiola Rosea has been shown to normalize body and brain functions. This decreases irritability, stress, and improves the appetite.

5. St. John’s Wort
This herb is used to assist with mood disorders and has been widely studied for use in obtaining emotional maintenance.

By changing your diet to include more organic foods, it will cleanse your body and can virtually. The herbal remedies listed can help when there is additional stress than the average day and can increase your mind’s alertness.
