Yupz...St John's Wort aids in
depression....
However, beware of Side effects such as
photosensitivity....
Contra-indications includes those using other
antidepressants and those who are lactating/pregnant...
Properties
anti-depressant, mild sedative, pain reducing, anti-inflammatory
and wound healing....
POSSIBLE mode of act:
St John's Wort reduces the rate at which brain cells re-absorb
serotonin, as low levels of serotonin in the body is associated
with depression.
St John's Wort may reduce levels of Interleuckin-6 (IL-6). IL-6 in
raised levels may lead to a rise in adrenal regulatory hormone
which is a sign of depression.
Where you can find it
U can find this supplement in Fancl or those OTC supplements in
pharmacy...
However, as in the case of all medications, caution has to be
exercised...when in doubt...always consult your doctor...
Natural DOES NOT equates to being
Totally safe.
Besides taking oral medication, maybe u can try to exercise (as it
releases endorphine, which gives athletes the feeling of happiness
after their exercise)...take sometime out to have a cuppa coffee
with frenz...watch some movies...
But you have to find out the source of your depression...is it
work-related or due to relationships? As you have to solve the root
of the problem to be completely cured...
Hope this info helps....
