We are never too old to need these things. To help dissolve anger or depression, try making a list of things you are angry about. The Bach remedies Wild Rose, Larch, Mustard, Gorse and Gentian taken together may help relieve apathy, resignation, despondency, inferiority, despair, hopelessness, discouragement, self-doubt and intense descending gloom. Homeopathic remedies for depression include Arum metallicum, Sepia and Calms Forte. Sing the blues, dance them, or get massage therapy.
Aromatherapy is another way to lift depression.
The antidepressant oils are as diverse as the ways in which depression manifests itself. It would be useless to use a very sedative oil when you feel abnormally fatigued or lethargic. On the other hand, if the depression takes on the form of restlessness, irritability and inability to sleep, such an oil may be exactly what is needed. Chamomile, clary sage, lavender, sandalwood and ylang ylang are oils that are both sedative and antidepressant, while bergamot, geranium, melissa and rose can help lift the mood without sedating. Where anxiety is associated with depression, neroli is one of the most valuable oils, and jasmine increases confidence both in one's self and in the likelihood of overcoming difficult circumstances.
