Alternative remedies administered for the treatment of depression symptoms have been intensively studied for their medicinal properties. Studies reveal that the active compounds occurring with medicinal herbs not only mend chemical imbalances with the brain, but also convey therapeutic implications with other vital systems of the body. Healing depression with herbal remedies, in this case, does not only involve the regulation of neurotransmitter activity, but also endeavors the revival of overall systemic health. A notable herbal remedy that exhibits the mentioned therapeutic merits is St. John's Wort. In traditional practice, the herb has been used to ease nervous restlessness. Today, the Hypericum is commonly recognized as a natural antidepressant and prescribed as an alternative to SSRIs. Studies confirmed the presence of hypericin, hyperforin and pseudohypericin constituents in St. John's Wort. These compounds inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine with nervine cells. Neurotransmitters perform a regulatory role in the conduct of human behavior and moods, where decreased levels could adversely affect central nervous system functions. This then becomes the precursor to depressive or anxious behaviors. By inhibiting enzymatic activity that upsets the routine production of serotonin, the herb naturally heightens concentration, alertness and memory. The active constituents of St. John's Wort also promote healthy dopamine and norepinephrine levels. These are neurotransmitters involved in the manifest of healthy dispositions and sleeping patterns, as well as feelings of well being. Meanwhile, hypericin and pseudohypericin collectively act with xanthones and flavonoids to regulate cortisol (stress hormones) levels in the blood where elevated levels of this stress hormone have been associated with the manifest of clinical depression and psychological stress. Since xanthones and flavonoids have antioxidant properties, these organic compounds operate to prevent neurotransmitter breakdown in the brain. In correcting neurotransmitter imbalance, the herb promotes the brain's function of regulating healthy hormonal levels in the body. In the case of producing hormones responsible for the conduct of routine digestion, St. John's Wort is known to regulate appetites. The herb has also been observed to stimulate the reproductive hormones responsible for fertility and sex drive. Moreover, its extracts convey anti-inflammatory properties that help ease painful sensations during episodes of anxiety. The synergistic action of St. John's Wort constituents, for this matter, produces a mild antidepressant effect to ease the symptoms of anxiety and insomnia while promoting an overall sense of mental wellness.
Slide 2: The active compounds of St. John's Wort are popular constituents of many depression and anxiety treatments, including herbal remedies. Standardized herbal supplements such as MindSoothe are also formulated from the integrated compounds of St. John's Wort and Passiflora Incarnata to calm the nerves in the process of relieving depression symptoms. This goes to show that natural healing adheres to the holistic approach of ensuing healthy lifestyles, mind and body.
