Everyone suffers from some depression from time to time. Depression is a hopeless, sad feeling that doesn’t quickly go away. Depression may range from subtle to serious, and the more serious the depression, the more you need to seek medical help. If your depression is not severe, there are some herbal remedies that may help you.
Do not take herbal cures while taking prescription medication and do not stop taking your medication unless directed to do so by your doctor.
St.-John’s-Wort - This herbal remedy is known for its use to treat depression. Studies have shown that the use of St.-John’s-Wort is often as effective as prescription medications and has fewer side effects. You must take this for up to two weeks to start to see the benefits. Take it in capsule form and follow the directions for use, or you can also take it as a tea. It can cause mild stomach upsets or rashes in some people.
Kava-Kava - This herb helps alleviate anxiety that often accompanies depression. It can be taken without the usual side-effects of prescription medication that makes people feel sedated. Taken in capsule form, take up to six 500-milligram capsules per day.
Oats - This plant helps with depression and stress and helps with your overall nervous system. It is the same plant used to make the oatmeal breakfast cereal. Available as a tea, drink up to 3 cups of tea per day.
