This short article will be a bit different from the rest of my articles. I want to introduce you to something different…to an alternative… but before we get there, I will tell you a few things about myself and about the process of psychotherapy and mental health.
As many of you know, I am a psychotherapist. I work in the mental health sector for a few years now. But, I absolutely love what I am doing, I love helping people regain their strength and power over their lives. Although, very often psychotherapy is a journey that requires lots of processes and works on many different levels of our life. Moreover, every psychotherapy session is very individual and unique. I am working with people who suffer from many different issues, for example, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, self- harm, grief, anger- management, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and many other mental health disorders.
Mental and Physical health
For me, as a mental health expert, health, in general, is very important. We need to look after ourselves and our health. We need to get a balance between mental health and our physical health. Because one without another won’t work long term. We can’t be looking after only our physical health without looking into our emotional state of mind. Both are equally very important for our well- being.
However, I have witnessed many times that people have the tendency to forget about the fact that our mind and body co-operate with each other all the time, non -stop. We might not be aware of it at all, but it doesn’t mean that the mind and body don’t work together. Our body is equally as important as our mind. One cannot exist without another. It’s one amazing, complicated system, which makes it even more fascinating.
Very often, we underestimate our feelings, we suppress them so deep for many years, but it doesn’t mean they are gone! Oh no, no! Believe me, those emotions will always come back, only in an uglier form, as Freud would say. The more we are not paying attention to ourselves (body and mind) and how we feel, the more neglected our mental and physical health becomes and that is affecting our well-being and happiness.
Looking for help
So, at this stage very often people are seeking (usually medical) help, and looking for what I call ‘quick fix’. However, those who know me, know very well that I am NOT a fan of antidepressants. However, as a mental health professional, based on my knowledge and experience, I would never recommend it to any of my patients. I believe in an alternative. (On my website you will be able to find an article about antidepressants).
So now, let me introduce you to an alternative. For a quite long time, I was looking for something that is purely natural, not chemical, not addictive, and is more of a diet supplement than a medicine. I found it! Forever Royal Jelly; Forever Bee Polen; and Forever Bee Propolis.
Alternative to Antidepressants
Forever Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is a dietary supplement designed for those who naturally want to support their physical and mental condition. Moreover, Royal jelly is a milky white substance produced by worker bees in the glands of their legs. Due to the ingredients, it contains, it gives people great vitality and rejuvenates the cells. Among other things, it contains a large amount of acetylcholine, which is one of the main transmitters of nerve impulses. In addition, 8 essential and 10 additional amino acids. It is recommended to take 250 to 500 mg of royal jelly a day (1-2 tablets) 20 minutes before eating.
