Depression: 10 Home Remedies

7. Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese alternative medicine using needles inserted into various body parts. It has been used for centuries for relieving pain, aiding fertility, and a range of conditions. For depression, a trained practitioner will place a needle into the skin to help the body release endorphins and create a feeling of happiness or calm. Some people find one or two treatments beneficial while others go for regular sessions.
