I was researching herbs...

...and I found out that natural and holistic care is a good alternative to much of today's modern medicine and its drugs. That one could heal their body with herbs and natural treatments that don't have the same side-effects as many of today's modern drugs do.

For instance, I learned that Saint John's Wort (an herb) can help with Depression. The good thing about it is that it is not a drug or a pill but an actual plant. I learned that you can take it in capsule form if you want to, though.

I am not suggesting cures, just ideas for treatments.

Thanks. I have never tried herbal supplements, but it couldn't help to experiment with them i suppose.

The problem with most herbs is that usually they are to weak to treat full-blown mental illness, they may help in part but never enough to lift you out of major depression. Neither should Saint John's Wort be used together with conventional medicine as this can be dangerous.
