Examine emotional issues in your life. Are you angry about issues from your childhood or family? Do you have other problem relationships in your life? Do you have problems with your career? Are there other parts of your life that aren't working for you? Do you concentrate on what is wrong in your life? If you have answered 'yes' ... to any of these questions that is O.K. There is help.

At this time you are probably feeling overwhelmed.... don't! think of this as a small step program. One of first steps you can take for emotional issues is to start a gratitude journal. Each day write down things you are grateful to have in your life. Maybe it was only blue sky today, but tomorrow your list could grow to five things and soon you will fill a page.

Don't try to do this by yourself - if you have been depressed for more than a couple months this could be bigger than you are able to handle by yourself. Seek professional help. You can also join a 12 Step program - there is a great program called “Emotions Anonymous” and this program is available in many communities in Canada and U.S.A. Check your yellow pages for a program near you.

Do you have issues with alcohol or drugs? If you said 'yes'... seek professional help.(Most people who are struggling with addictions are also depressed) You can not cure yourself.

Are you contemplating your death? If you said 'yes'... put this paper down immediately, phone a person you trust and ask for their assistance. Seek professional help immediately.

At this point I have to confess, I have suffered from depression, it was not a fun time in my life but with counseling, changes in my life style and herbal products, I was able to rebuild my body, my mind and my spirit. Today I am happier and healthier than I have ever been in my whole life. You too can over come this disease and live a healthy, vibrant life.

They do not work same way, or bring same degree of relief, to everyone who uses them. And in fact, in case of salves, many people find no relief at all, while a larger percentage find varying degrees to complete relief of conditions. Not all products are for all people, but there is one product which will likely work for you.

It is interesting to note that of American Pharmacopoeia of 208 drugs, 192 of them are herbal-based products presently used in drugs we take.

Healing Hand Network has A Native Herbal Reference available, post paid, for $35 USD anywhere in US and Canada, and for an extra $10 USD mailed to any other country. This book is an exhaustive detailing of historical, modern and even mythological uses of 21 of these herbs in North American Native Pharmacopoeia.

However, one small word of caution here about herbs. What works one way for one person may well work a different way for another person and not at all for a third person. See Windy’s article on Natural hair Color Renewal for an example of this.
