Treatment for Depression That Will Finally Give You Hope!

 

Depression is a mental health disorder that has several treatment options, including St. John's Wort. Here are some common questions about this treatment. 

 

St. John's Wort is a plant native to Europe, but also found in the US and other parts of the world. It contains active compounds such as hypericin and hyperforin, which cause antidepressant effects. Research shows that it is effective in treating mild to moderate depression by increasing the levels of mood-regulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Overall, St. John's Wort works by blocking the reuptake of these neurotransmitters, which can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. 

 

To use St. John's Wort, take 900-1500mg per day in divided doses with food. Capsule or tablet forms are usually recommended. Take it in the morning or early afternoon to avoid disrupting sleep. Before starting St. John's Wort, be aware that it can interact with antidepressants, birth control pills, and blood thinners

 

To prepare St. John's Wort, you can buy it in capsules or tablets at health food stores or online. You can also make tea by steeping the dried herb in hot water for 10-15 minutes. Note that the tea may not have the same amount of active compounds as the capsules or tablets. 

 

St. John's Wort is a promising depression treatment, but speak to a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
