The Three Best Herbs To Fight Depression
Did you know that many medications are derived from plants? For example, salicin from willow bark is the basis for aspirin, and valeric acid from valerian root is chemically modified to make Valproic acid, which psychiatrists use to treat bipolar disorder. There is a lot of healing potential in nature. In this video, I discuss three herbs that have the best evidence for treating depression.

Thank you, you are the best <3
This is incredible, albei I will adhere to all of her message and be sure to include it with the outside resources I already utilize, not in place of. "There is no quick fix" has been a consistent message from our bodies.❤
Saffron is also Indian in origin just like tumeric.
Saint John’s Wort causes me to feel every touch to my skin—cold, heat, a toe stub, barely anything—times a thousand
😞
what about same? a lot of body builders use this.
I think I am not severly depressed I do my normal activities and have a social life. I have always though a lot about dead thou. not about k*lling myself, but I am very aware that I will die one day and I believe dead is great because it will bring me to a better place.
I kind of don't feel scared of dead. I don't know if that is normal. I always wondered about why are we here and about the other side. Even as a kid.
very interesting the turmeric thing! I had no idea. can I take turmeric together with saint jhon wort?
Weed is sin no drug dealers in heaven

Repent of sin drugs lead to hell cocaine weed cigarettes psychotropic drugs gamblings all these are sins sorcery druggist chemist meth

The weed leaf in the thumbnail was click bait 😔
Thank you from Poland ❤!
I gain so much specific, usable knowledge from watching your videos Dr. Marks. I'm grateful.
Hold up. Is this doctor even a doctor? Sounds more like a naturopath. There's literally no good evidence for curcumin/tumeric, it's never had an effect in any major clinical trial. Most studies of it are small and clinically insignificant, and even those have faults and possible bias. And it's as she said in the description, if it worked, like willow bark was proven to, it would be made into a medicine, one that's easily measured and can be regulated, unlike turmeric which has a sad history of dangerous additives. St John's Wort is spotty at best; it's a major export from Germany and the studies that support its uses are… mostly from Germany. It has potential, but other studies have have shown statistically insignificant results with St John's Wort. Also, emphasis on drug interactions, there's a HUGE amount of interactions, from birth control to HIV treatments.
Excellent video. Extremely informative. I’ve never heard of saffron can be taken with antidepressants. I’d love more info on that. In my experience saffron is highly effective, but the GI effects and loss of appetite prevented me from using it long term.
Quit cannabis. Fell into depression. St. Jon's wort is helping together with cbd. Depression sufferer since 1981.

Would mixing turmeric and saffron to make a tincture work well?
Planet Ayurveda's herbal remedies have been a game-changer in my battle with depression. The natural ingredients have helped stabilize my mood and reduce my
anxiety. I feel more like myself again, thanks to their products.
Brahmi, Ashwagandha these are the natural Ayurvedic herbs which help with the stress and fights against depression. PLANET AYURVEDA's STRESS SUPPORT and CALM EASY CAPSULES are really effective with anxieties and depression.
I thought that many sunscreen lotions, contain carcinogenic chemicals?
I have been depressed for 15 years, it's like my whole body is burning with pain and despair!😭
My tumeric is not Indian.
I didn’t find who complained photosensitivity after taking st john wort. Did you find anyone? If not then stop misleading.
Doc …Thoughts on SAM – E?
I kind of wish she would be less superior in acting. Pretend you're talking to a friend. Don't preach to your audience.
For those who want a summary.
1. St. Johns Worth – side effect photosensitive – don't take if you are bipolar. ( Side Note do a KETO DIET for bipolar dr. berg)
2. Tumeric –
3. SAFFRON-
if you are suffering also try
Magnsieum
Potasium
GABA
B1
Remember you are your own Best Doctor. Doctors don't care. Their LEGAL drug pushers, brainwashed by a system that is only designed to milk you dry of all your money.
Remember doctors get paid more money if you don't get better. They don't care if you get better or not. Their goal is to just drug you up and kick you out.
Turmeric is great for arthritis and body aches!
Saffron numbs me at first but then causes insane euphoria and libido when I get off it. I guess +1 for the rebound because psychiatrists just wanna numb you. But since saffron dosent give long term negatives, I love the rebound with Ginkgo. Good to cycle it when I'm gonna do something boring like chores for few days then off with fun stuff.
A friend of mine takes another supplement, Normotim. They seem to be more effective, what do you think? Have you tried Normotim?
