Home remedies for Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a serious mental condition and its treatment should not be taken lightly. Medication prescribed by your doctor should be followed per the correct dosages. Stopping your medication or self-treatment may be life-threatening in some cases. Home remedies for bipolar disorder refer to lifestyle changes. These include:

Quitting drugs, alcohol, and smoking
Staying away from stressful situations such as unhealthy relationships and negative people
Exercising regularly to improve your mood and sleep patterns
Get a minimum of eight uninterrupted hours of sleep a day
Avoid caffeine and foods high in fat and sugar
Natural remedies for bipolar disorder include lithium, omega 3 fatty acids (found in foods such as salmon or in the form of supplements), and L-tyrosine (an amino acid found in dairy products and oats or in the form of supplements)
Herbal aids for bipolar disorder include lavender to reduce stress and encourage sleep and pass flora to soothe the nervous system and balance out the neurotransmitters in the brain
Acupuncture is another effective treatment for bipolar disorder. Acupuncture helps regulate the heart rate, treat sleep disorders and balance out the central nervous system

Consult with your doctor before starting any new form of treatment of therapy. Natural does not always mean safe so take all the necessary precautions and be honest with your doctors to ensure that there are no long-term health consequences or adverse reactions.
