Depression, characterized by unhappy feelings of hopelessness, can be a response to stressful events, hormonal imbalances, biochemical abnormalities, or other causes. Mild depression that passes quickly may not require any therapy, while suicidal depression often requires prescription antidepressants. Persistent mild-to-moderate depression triggered by stressful events is often best mended with counseling and not necessarily with medications. However, the lift up herbal blend can, with its natural and gentle components, assist in overcoming the “hard times”.
Hyerycum, also known as St. John’s wort, is often used as a treatment for mild to moderate severe depression. It affects the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain in a similar way to SSRI antidepressant drugs.
It is the most widely researched herb for the treatment of depression, and serves as the very core of this unique formulation.
Rhodiola Rosea, also known as Golden Root, is a native plant of arctic Siberia. For centuries it has been used by eastern European and Asian cultures for physical endurance, work productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, and to treat fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system disorders.
Studies with Rhodiola show that the herb stimulates neurotransmitters and enhances their effects on the brain. This includes the ability for the brain to process serotonin which helps the body to adapt to stress.
A new study has found that an extract of Rhodiola rosea has an anti-depressant effect in people suffering from mild to moderate depression. The research represents the first double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Rhodiola rosea in patients diagnosed with depression. The results, published in the Nordic Journal of Psychiatry, demonstrate that Rhodiola rosea extract was significantly more effective in relieving symptoms of depression then placebo.
Acorus calamus is native of Eastern Europe and is found wild in England. It is chiefly collected in Holland, North America, Most of the European countries and in central Asia.
In India, it is cultivated, as well as found wild in the Himalayas, where it is used in the treatment of depression.
