Natural products to help your mental health
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately one in five adults in the United States lives with a mental illness. While there are many types of mental illness, they all share a common symptom: they can make daily activities overwhelming, if not impossible. Fortunately, there are a number of natural products that can help alleviate symptoms and improve mental health. For example, omega-3 supplements have proved effective in treating depression, while chamomile tea has been shown to reduce anxiety. There are also a number of apps and websites that offer support and resources for people living with mental illness. Although there is no cure for mental illness, these products and services can help make daily life a little easier.
