Depression

[Lori MerrittStudent]

My daughter suffers from depression. She is unable to take depression meds. What herbs or formula could I give her?

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the lessons about nervines.  A short list of examples: St. John’s Wort, Lemon Balm, Chamomile, Catnip, Hops… Also have a look in the HGH Shop, use a search keyword “anxiety” or “calm” and several formulas will be shown.  Have a look at the ingredients lists on each one, and that will give you some ideas, either to just choose a couple that might be best, or to customize your own formula for your daughter.

We talk about depression in the Nervous System lessons. As long as she isn’t on meds, herbs can often be helpful. Combining herbs and depression meds is strongly contraindicated.

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
