| Depression |
| Depression afflicts most of us at some time or another. However chronic depression needs to be treated. There are many antidepressents on the market; some very effective. I am NOT suggesting that you throw away your prescription medicine & jump on the herbal bandwagon. However I do suggest that you try some of the herbal antidepressents; perhaps along with your prescription meds at first. Here are some herbs that have been helpful to many people. St. John's Wort- probably the best known . In tests it has been shown to have similar properties as Prozac. Kava- This produces a feeling of weel being in many people. ( A personal favorite of mine.) Many times you can buy herbal combinations formulated for depression. One blend that seems to hold promise consists of: St. John's Wort Ginseng Kava Dandelion Root Ginkgo Biloba Scullcap Valerian Blue Vervain This formula is called Blues Blend & is available from Sage Woman Herbs either already capsuled or in bulk. As I am sure most of you know, depression is often caused by a chemical imbalance. It is an illness like any other. I urge you to continue to search the plant world for more information. |
