In reply to Tongue Coating and Depression, posted by Brot on March 31, 2011, at 15:04:19
A bad tongue coating is often yeast, fungus,, candida. These organisms secrete toxins that don't feel good, similar or identical to depression. You will naturally feel better with fewer toxins.
There are lots of herbs and medicines for that. I've tried a bunch. In the meds category, Diflucan was great. For herbs, I personally found nothing more potent than a raw garlic clove at bedtime for a few nights. A number of herbs are potent antiyeast, antifungul, anticandida, and antibacterial all at the same time. Just google candida and herbs to learn more. Along the search you will likely come across mention of the tongue coating being a common clue.
It's hard to understand how a substance that is not psychoactive can work against depression. Your example shows how that does work, depending on whether the treatment is hitting the right cause or not.
