Summary
A woman who had long COVID for a few years, with depression a part of it, and in late 2022 used meditation and a white chestnut flower essence. By July 2025 she considered herself healed, crediting 'rewiring my brain', gratitude and prayer, clean eating, gentle exercise when energy allowed and good sleep; the worst was behind her, though it might just be her new normal. She gave no detail on how limited she had been.
