Herbal Plant Remedies : Herbs: St. John's Wort for Depression

[ozzieksk]

omg I got 4 of them in one shot!

[joeysixtysix]

I smoke it. Works great and fast.

[TheNovelty8theory]

St johns wort is great!! I was taking citalopram for moderate depression and the side effect were horrible, insomnia and sick feelings were common. So I decided to ditch the chemicals for natures way and it has been great so far. I am not saying that you should take prescription drugs but this herb is incredibly potent!!

[picturesofdavid1]

It is true that negative thought patterns will influnce the chemicals, but it does not "change" them if you want to be specific, it increases/decreases uptake of certain chemicals that contribute to feelings/sypmtoms of depression.

Therefore, pharmaceutical drugs DO cure depression because they will inhibit or increase uptake of the certain chemicals that are causing it.

Although drugs/herbs CAN cure depression, that's not to say it won't come back. But depression isn't something one "creates"

[RedTailedTuna]

No herbs or medicine will resolve depression. Depression is a pattern of thought and a way of being, in which the individual has created to be safe in their environment, so they can survive.

[checkle1]

@RedTailedTuna it is supposed to better your mood. If you generally feel a little better, think a little clearer, then changes can be made within yourself and your own behaviors and thought. Think of it like this, you are very trapped in your own mind and you don't realize it until you take this, it lifts a little weight off and you become slightly relieved. not saying it would happen to everyone else, but it's cheap and over the counter, might as well try.

[picturesofdavid1]

@RedTailedTuna That makes no sense. Depression is an inbalance of chemicals in the body, and people don't get depression so they can survive, people with depression often committ suicide.

[sh4p3shifter]

you can take it with alcohol? Perfect!

[michealjohnedmondson]

[hemptime123]

@ozzieksk did it get u high?

[BrainwashedNations]

This method of recruitment (infusion in boiling water) is considered totally ineffective by almost all experts, and it will not be this woman the one who's going to change my mind.

[Rhawneld57]

This is very good to know. I love natural remidies

Ron!

[jokerP514]

if you rearange St. John's Wort it spells out legal marijuana

[polishkilla94]

this stuff is so-so, a great herbal antidepressant in Kanna (sceletium tortuosum) it really perks you up quite a bit- i got mine off of eBay for $4 a gram and free shipping and i was very happy with the stuff- its really potent too u only need like 1/10 of a gram

[EbsNhexz]

@polishkilla94 Kanna isn't an antidepressant, it just trips you out for a while. Its very enjoyable I admit but it cant be used long term. Your probably an advert wanker.

[dionkar336]

@Rebornprodigy22

but too much weed makes anxiety worse lol.

[crazycloud2]

@dionkar336 wrong kind

[jewkr2]

my cat has a gum disease, periodontitis. so I should anesthesia or sedate him and remove tartar.. i found that Kava kava, St.john's wort etc can yield sedation effect. evenmore, St. john's wort has antiseptic function against gram negative bacteria like plague.. so I am interested in St.john's wort more than other natural sedation plants

How can i administer St.john's wort or Kava Kava to my cat or me?

I have a tooth decay by plauge.

[abg420]

[Runaholism]

[Orbot]

@Runaholism Rotfl!!

[Orbot]

@Runaholism I think she needs to drink a few pints of this stuff herself, lol!

[soccerdawg17]

Kava Kava is better then taking St. John's Wort

[JVDnh3]

@soccerdawg17 Kava Kava has been known to cause liver failure.

[medinar1985]

read recently that the Saint Johnswort to combat depression, anxiety, inhibition, shyness, migraine, asthma, behavior problems in general has psychiatric and physical benefits and the GNC Store of vitamins sold Saint Johnswort under the name of SJW.

[mkf272]

I take this for depression and it works very well.

[ytcrittical]

@foofwolf22 taper pritstiq down slowly over a week or two if possible also have a few days 'clean' before starting sjw. also i found the original/natural herb very sedating and horrible side effects, i was reluctant to try the standardized westernized version but reluctantly i tried the standardized version which turned out to be much more manageable

[hesellsmystuff]

Incorrect information is being presented in the video - glaringly incorrect.

St. Johns wort is well known to cause the following :

The most common adverse effects reported are gastrointestinal symptoms, dizziness, confusion, tiredness and sedation.

Confusion - tiredness - and sedation QUITE OBVIOUSLY would hinder / impair a persons attention, concentration, and or reaction time.

The woman states that it does not - which is incorrect.

[frozen10]

@hesellsmystuff Anti-depressants are known to increase thoughts of suicide or similar or worse problems like the ones you listed....Some of them are also known to cause withdrawal symptoms.

[kingode]

kaziman grow your own

[faithoffaith]

I have to admit I've taken St John's Wort for about 5 months now and it has worked wonders, It takes a while for it to build up and alot of people shy away from it as they think it's not working but you have to give it time just like with any other anti-depressant, it has lifted my physical symptoms as well.

[lightbrownpoop]

@faithoffaith capsules or tea? i recently bought st johns wort tea bags, and let it steep for about 10 minutes then drink it straight...i find it chills me out pretty good.

[faithoffaith]

@lightbrownpoop the tablet forms.

[lightbrownpoop]

@faithoffaith toxins overload have alot to do with depression and axniety, so i've been drinking st johns wort tea (at night) and taking burdock root and slippery elm capsules daily...along with drinking 2-3 cups of green tea a day (while drinking lots of water and limiting sugar) and i must say i feel pretty great, my libido is through the roof, lol. burdock root and slippery elm work wonders for the liver.

[watch2mefly]

@faithoffaith I'm so glad you informed us, I was just wondering if its going to take a while to work. Been using it for about a week now for Seasonal Depression. I have to drink a calming tea for now to take with it until ST Johns Worts kick in. Thanks!

[hemptime123]

@faithoffaith does it give you any sort of high, i am not depressed enuogh to take this long term with no psychological or physical affects, i want to get high. can this get me high?

[ngrar14]

@daddyshouseshow i heard it can raise the blood pressure

[bigsmoke539]

lol i live in st johns

[EvelynGB]

oh, I should add that it helps with concentration as well! It calms the mind so you can focus more.

[EvelynGB]

I use St.john's wort for anxiety, Especially during exams. I have become so anxious during exam time that I freeze up and forget everything I learn.

If I am having a low feeling or I am having trouble sleeping because I am thinking to much it really helps.

Honestly, the tea is not potent or concentrated enough. I take SJW in tablet form. I have to say that it does really work and I don't think I could get through university without it.

[kazimann]

Only in this poxy country (Ireland) that St. John's Wort can only be got on prescription.

[ssflores21]

whats up blimpe !!!

[landownunder]

forgot to mention that combined with anti d's it can be lethal

[vanilluv81]

do you recomend harvesting your own st. johns wort??

[happilylil]

i take Vilift for almost 6 months now and i have to say that it's really great, it works for me.

[amazingasa]

what's avoiding sun exposure? how do you deal with taking that stuff and if you are a construction worker and work outside all day ???

how does the skin react if you spend a lot of time under the sun?

[Monad01]

Photosensitivity is a rare side effect. If you become sensitive to the sun while taking it, stop and try something else.

[Monad01]

The reaction is you would burn more easily.

[gigiontube]

amazingasa ,

Don't worry about sun exposure. Your skin is already used to sun from being outside most of the day, so you won't get sun burn. Make your tea before going to bed at night, and make sure to let it steep, covered, for 15 minutes, to get the constituents from the herbs. Strain and store the tea in a thermos. Take the thermos with you at work and drink the tea throughout the day.

[watch2mefly]

I tried St johns worts yogi tea just two days ago due to college exams. I felt so much better afterwards. I am actually shocked that i didnt have to take the anti depression drugs prescribed to me. Woo hooo!

[choongbren]

were can you by this herd from and can you grow your own

[leoboi88]

WAlmart,CVS,Walgreens anywhere that sells vitamins

[oddsource]

works wonders, I remember taking this when I was under the weather or nervousness a lot before taking college tests. Good video by the way and simple to prepare the tea.

[ssips720]

where do you buy it?

[Soulnik]

Please be aware that St. John's Wort induces both intestinal and liver metabolism (cytochrome P450, CYP3A) which can increase the clearance of a number of opioids and thus possibly decrease the effectiveness of these drugs.

[immcguyver07]

So in other words if ur smoking heroin don't take it or it will make ur heroin not work as good???????!!!!

[ParallelUniversity]

If you try pills be sure you get a quality brand like Kira or Perika. Most brands are garbage. I felt very positive and creative the first week, but the real antidepressant effects took about a month to appear. It stabilized after 2 months use and I am currently off it. Good stuff, but did cause a little drowsiness at first and loss of libido.

[embryo923]

i was reading about this, i think i am going to pick some up today and try it. i have no health insurance so getting presc meds is gonna be hard.
