Herbals & Supplements
A natural alternative for a healthy lifestyle

In this section on Herbals  & Supplements, we will not get into all the talk about herbals & supplements being around for centuries and how the medical profession still doesn't fully recognize the importance that herbals &  supplementation can provide in "preventative medicine".  We will cover the proclaimed benefits of different herbals and allow you to decide about your personal choice to supplement or not to supplement.  The information contained in these articles is meant for information only and is not a recommendation or an endorsement of any of the herbals &  supplements mentioned in any of the articles.  You are advised to consult with your physician or health care professional before you start taking herbals &  supplements.  With the "legalese" out of the way, let's get on with it!


Beat Depression with St. John's Wort
 

Are you feeling a little depressed?  Are you feeling emotionally out of balance?  Would you rather remain in a state of depression before you would consider putting in your body something synthetic, made in a laboratory that is cancerous to rats? Then go natural and try St. John's Wort; it's the only herbal supplement of its kind to provide emotional support when you need it the most.  St. John's Wort has been used for centuries back to the time of ancient Greece.  During this long period, this multi-use herb has been applied to wounds, used to aid in kidney and lung ailments and many other medical applications. While we don't recommend using St. John's Wort in place of regular medical treatment, studies have shown St. John's Wort to be effective for healthy mental and nervous system function thus providing a sense of calm and contentment.

You can sense the calming effects of St. John's Wort just by looking at its very colorful white and yellow flowers.  St. John's Wort can be found growing wild in Europe, especially in Germany. It has been tested and used extensively in Germany and Russia. One of many uses in which St. John's Wort has been found to be effective in is the treatment for burns.  Hypercin, a chemical found in St. John's Wort, is an antidepressant and has been valuable for treating the depression in menopausal and post-menopausal women.

So when life has you down and you are looking for a sensible and natural alternative to taking antidepressants, try St. John's Wort to relieve some of the anxiety of your life.  As with all herbal supplements, you should only purchase these from reliable and reputable companies to ensure the purity of the product.

Caution:

You should not sunbathe while taking St. John's Wort because hypercin is a phytotoxic chemical which can affect the skin when exposed to sunlight.  Always take St. John's Wort and all herbals as directed.  Should you experience any adverse feelings or changes, report them to your physician or health care professional as soon as possible.
