Valerian, Kava, and St John's Wort are all great!
St.John's is more for the depression, Valerian and Kava for the anxiety and stress.
If I were you I'd buy the powdered herbs from your health food store or better yet find an online herb store that sells in bulk. Then buy the herbs by the pound instead of capsules.
[Example: Valerian $5-9.00, Kava $ 14.00, St. John's $5.00]
Use a half teaspoon mixed in juice. You can also cover your bases and mix equal parts of all three herbs together and then take 1/2 teaspoon from your mix. Depending on how you feel, take 2 to 3 times a day.
Most companies that sell herbs in bulk sell good fresh herbs of good quality, unlike many herb companies that sell capsules.
However it does take some getting use to, taking your herbs this way. If after tring the herbs this way, you find they work well for you, but find you don't like the taste. For a few dollars more you can buy a capsule
machine $7- 14.00 and capsules for $7.00
for 1000.
You'll find that for this small investment will turn into gret savings over buying brand capsules.
I suffer moderate depression, slight insomnia, stress, and sometimes I get stupidly angry for no reason. I was on Prozac but found it's not for me. I don't want to start trying every thing in the world from the medical field for this, so I've been wondering about the alternative meds.
Can anyone tell me what the differences between are? They all seem to treat the same things to me but I want to make sure I choose the correct one for
