For some reason, ginger is not only beneficial for my nausea, but it also seems to help my mood. Perhaps due to effect on circulation. I only take 250mg per day, Solaray brand. I've looked on the internet, and really nowhere does it say that it helps with mood. Still, it seems to help me. I think you have to get the dosage right, however. 250mg seems just right for me. It's just a good addition to my vitamin regimen, nothing spectacular but it helps. I'm also going to try turmeric because it has some AD properties. A combination of ginger and gingko biloba has been suggested for improved blood flow to the brain which might be beneficial in some cases of depression. Turmeric is also said to cleanse the blood and affect circulation, which might be an added bonus as well. I think these three herbs will help some depression, but you may have to juggle with dosages.
