Herbal Remedies for Depression Symptoms
Brighten your environment with fresh cut herb flowers. Clip the blossoms of brightly-colored herbal flowers such as Chamomile, Valerian and Borage blooms. Float in a lovely bowl of water.
Rest your head on a pillow filled with hops flowers or drink a cup of soothing hops tea before bedtime. Hops can ease tension and anxiety.
Take nature's Valium. Valerian is an herbal tranquilizer for many people. Take in capsule or extract form to soothe exhaustion or to combat tension or fatigue that can accompany depression. Be cautious as Valerian can have a stimulating effect on some people.
Lift sagging spirits with herbal tea. Without the jangling effect of caffeine, herbal tea is easy to make. Try infusing boiling distilled water with dried St. John's Wort, Vervain and Licorice. Steep a half teaspoon each for 10 minutes. Strain, sweeten with organic honey as desired. Relax and enjoy.
