Depression Natural Remedy: Depression can affect our physical and emotional well being. Certain herbs have been around for centuries to help treat mood disorders. Natural depression cure and mood elevators: Herbs with Nervine properties can act as a tonic for the nervous system. Other herbs help improve blood supply to the brain or act as adaptogens helping to balance the immune system. St Johns Wort : St Johns Wort depression herb helps to inhibit the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), just as prescription drugs do, but it dose it more slowly and mildly. It also helps modulate and balance the brain chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine, much the same way as medication dose, except once again in a much milder manner. It may also increase endorphin levels and help to improve mood and decreases sadness, hopelessness and exhaustion. Although hypercicin was identified as the active ingredient in St John Wort, it is no longer believed that hypericin works alone. As is the case with most depression herbal treatments, a complex interplay of many compounds is believed to be responsible for the beneficial effects. For this reason we avoid Standardized Herbs, and only use the whole herb. Skullcap : Tones and nourishes the nervous system. Used with serious mental exhaustion, depression and prolonged sickness. Also aids in calming tension and stress. Also helps improve sleep patterns. Safety Notes: Do not take if pregnant. Do not take more than 6 capsules per day. Use 3 weeks on 1 week off. Suitable for vegetarians. Do not take with prescription anti-depressants or any other medication that interacts with MAO inhibitors. Avoid during pregnancy or lactation.
