Herbal Depression MedicineFamous Herbs for Depression Some of the more well known herbs used as depression medicine include Siberian ginseng, licorice, oat straw, ginkgo, thyme, basil, spearmint, clove, rosemary, and so on. Before using any of these herbs for treating the depressed mood, remember to get information on the method of use, safety, and dosage etc. Herbal Tonics for Depression Using a single herb is not that effectual in alleviating depressive symptoms as using a herbal tonic containing a combination of herbs. The point in combining herbs is to prevent the possible side effects that result from a single herb. A herbal tonic used as depression medicine is therefore more balanced. Some common herbal preparations are easy to make and you can try these, though not without the approval of an experienced expert in herbal treatments. Antidepressant Tincture Take one-half teaspoon tincture of each of the ingredients: ginseng root, licorice root, lemon balm leaf, ashwaganda leaf. Combine these with a teaspoon tincture of Saint-John's-wort leaf and use three times daily by taking one dropper at a time. You can also buy glycerites to use instead of tincture, which contains alcohol. 
Gentian Root Tea This is a tasty herbal depression medicine, easy to prepare at home. Take one-half ounce of well-chopped poplar bark and gentian root. Put these in two pints of water and leave for 15 minutes. Bring to boil, and then add one-half ounce of agrimony and the same quantity of centaury. Simmer the tea for about ten minutes. Allow to cool and strain. It is fine to add a bit of honey as sweetener. Use this tea three to four tablespoon before taking meal. Rosemary-Sage Tea A readily prepared herbal depression medicine is the rosemary-sage tea. Put one teaspoon of rosemary and one of sage in two cups of water. Boil the mixture and allow steeping for five minutes. Drink daily for a lighter mood. Clove Tea Clove tea is a good solution for lifting mild depression. Crush some cloves. Add them to sage, camomile or peppermint tea along with a dash of ginseng powder. Use daily twice or three times. |
