Is A Herbal Depression Solution The Answer ?

Before we look at whether a herbal depression solution could be the answer to all our prayers, let us look at a few facts about depression.

People tend to shrug their shoulders when confronted with depression in a loved one or colleague and rarely know how to handle it. Yet the statistics show that this mental condition is a serious illness and needs to be treated. Look at the figures from the National Mental Health Association. There is a strong link between suicide and this condition. Between 30 -70% of suicide cases have had some form of depressive illness during their lives.

Do you know what Jarsin 300 is? it is the most favourite brand of all the herbal depression remedies in Germany. In fact it accounts for between 25- 50% of all the prescriptions in that country for depression and puts Prozac and Xanax, the conventional anti depressants, in the shade.

The herb used in this preparation is called St. John’s Wort and has been used for over two thousand years, first as a diuretic by the Romans! In fact, the Roman physician Galen, who was the physician to four Roman Emperors, used it successfully for many ailments even though he did not realize that it was also useful for depression.

People are curious to know why this herbal depression solution is so favourite in Germany. The answer is that Germany is more open minded about complementary medicine, as indeed is the UK. This means in practice that there are more funds acquirable for research. That research has shown that symptoms of depression are greatly alleviated using this preparation with much fewer side effects than those experienced with Xanax and Paxil, the conventional chemical synthetic medications.

Side effects from the anti depressant drugs mentioned above can range from loss of libido, weight gain, suicidal thoughts and even aggressive behavior, not to mention self injury. There are also some mysteries about the long term effects of these drugs and there are dangers of getting addicted as well. Finally, they do not cure this mental condition at all and their main effect seems to be to alleviate symptoms but the ‘zombie’ feeling and living in a shadowy world are often noted.

If you are suffering from depression, it might be time to take a closer look at a herbal depression solution and look at other herbs such as ginseng, passion flower and gingko biloba. You could also do a check on the company producing these herbal depression remedies to make sure that they are following FDA guidelines and are offering guarantees.
