Healig my Depression and Anxiety the Natural Way Part 1


Depression and anxiety can be the most terrible thing that most of us will deal with in our lives.  I have been on Zoloft, Paxil and Prozac, just to name a few.  Did they help me, yes and no?  They did take some of the feelings away, but in reality they just put me in a fog.  They made me feel like I did not know what I was doing half of the time.  Not to mention Zoloft makes you gain weight.  Funny how the doctor never told me that when he prescribed it to me.  Like I need to gain any more weight.   All of these prescription drugs for anxiety and depression have an unbelievable amount of side effects that I can do without. 

 I decided one day that I wanted to be off of all that junk.  I knew there had to be a way to heal my depression and anxiety the natural way.  I started taking three natural supplements that have really been combating all of the depression and anxiety for me.  The first one is Holy Basil.  Holy Basil has and unbelievable amount of benefits according to http://www.herbslist.net/holy-basil.html.  The benefits of Holy Basil are the following:
