Herbal Remedies for Depression

Many people suffer from depression, especially during the holidays and hard economic times like we are currently going through. Did you know there are herbs for depression that work as well as prescription medications?

Prescription drugs for depression can be dangerous. I have known of many times that these types of medicines have back-fired, and made the person MORE depressed. My daughter was one of them. At 19 years old, she was taking Lexipro for depression. After about a month on the drug, she was more depressed than ever, and we had to take her off of the medication.

We decided to try herbal remedies, and see if this would help. To our surprise, the herbal supplement worked, and within a few weeks she was back to her old self - happy, outgoing and upbeat.

Using herbs for depression is something you may want to try if you or someone you love is dealing with depression. I know myself how hard it is to come out of a depressed state, and the feeling that it is the end of the world when you feel this way. Herbal remedies can certainly work for depression.

The most effective ingredients you will find in herbal remedies are St. John's Wort and Passion Flower. These ingredients have been clinically proven to work, and one of the products we have used that worked extremely well is an herbal supplement called MindSoothe. This product is made by Native Remedies, a very respected and established company.

If you are on medication, I urge you to ask your doctor about trying herbs for depression. They really do work!
