Heritage and Science
Throughout history, people have used the therapeutic potential of the plants surrounding them to help relieve depression and balance mood, alongside therapy and supportive practices.
Medicinal plants such as roseroot, melissa, turmeric, black cohosh, saffron, skullcap, chai hu, rose and St. John’s wort have undergone comprehensive laboratory research, showing the complex mechanisms by which they work to improve mood.
The bioactive compounds in these plants exert their influence by enhancing the brain’s feel-good mood signals such as serotonin and dopamine. Notably, certain botanicals like turmeric, saffron, and St. John’s wort also contain ingredients that lower inflammation, an avenue being explored for its potential in alleviating depression.
Furthermore, several of these medicinal plants, including St. John’s wort, turmeric, black cohosh, saffron, skullcap, and roseroot, have undergone gold standard (controlled) clinical trials. When administered in the appropriate formulation and at a therapeutic level, they have consistently demonstrated the ability to significantly enhance mood compared to placebos. In some instances, such as St. John’s Wort and Turmeric, as plant medicine they exhibit effectiveness on par with mainstream pharmaceutical drugs, often with fewer or no side effects.
Did you know?
You can take this tea to support mood, but to effectively treat a condition with medicinal plants, you need to reach a medicinal dose. A medicinal dose of tea for adults is the equivalent of 2 teabags steeped for 20 minutes and taken 3x daily.
In addition for effective treatment with plant medicine it is important to take a prescription that is relevant to the individual and their holistic needs, taking into account all conditions and any other medication, and also monitoring the individual response – for which we recommend consulting a NIMH medical herbalist.
Caution
When taking any medicinal plant at a medicinal level, always first consult a NIMH medical herbalist or healthcare professional before giving to a child, if you are pregnant, have any medical condition or allergy, or if you are taking any medication. Do not stop taking any medication you have been prescribed without consulting your health care professional.
