Ayurvedic Recipe: Carrot-Ginger Soup

Depression affects million of people in many ways. Often, words like “debilitating”, “stagnating”, and “paralyzing” are associated with depression. One person’s depression may stem from anger and another person’s anxiety may have spiraled them into depression.

Whatever the case may be, diet can help to ameliorate the symptoms of depression. Carrot and ginger combine sweet, nourishing, and stimulating tastes and qualities that counteract the negative thoughts and feelings associated with depression.
