Depression
Depression is a real mental illness that affects around 121 million people around the world, according to the World Health Organization. It's not something you can just snap out of; it's a serious disorder that can cause severe impairment to your ability to function. Depressive symptoms include physical and mental changes. Symptoms include weight change, sleep disturbances, changes in your appetite and mood, frequent feelings of sadness, tearfulness, irritability or agitation, loss of self-esteem and interest in activities you once enjoyed, relationship problems, unexplained aches and pains and feelings of hopelessness. Depression is often successfully treated with psychotherapy and/or medication, which can be expensive and unnatural, recent research into alternative and holistic treatments has also shown the potential benefits of healing herbs and compounds such as frankincense on depressive symptoms. Frankincense is a substance widely known for its beneficial properties for human beings and their health problems. Aside from the antidepressant activities information presented above, frankincense helps repelling insects and the diseases they carry, it can play a role in alleviating the symptoms of arthritis, it can be used as an antiseptic, and the list of benefits can continue. As far as the antidepressant activities effects it provides are concerned, it seems that simply burning frankincense can help a person feel better and more relaxed. There is a reason why frankincense is used in meditation. Its action on the human brain promotes mental relaxation in order to enter a state of mind that allows getting in touch with a more spiritual self. Frankincense can also help the brain produce more natural antidepressant, because it provides the antidepressant activities effects needed for such activities
