A Brilliant Pairing of St. John's Wort with A Chinese Depression Formula

As a practitioner of Oriental Medicine I frequently give the Chinese formula Xiao Yao Wan to depressed patients particularly those with what we call Liver Qi Stagnation (a depression with "stuckness" often accompanied by PMS and menstrual pain when in women accompanied with internal and emotional obstacles to the free flow of qi and blood.) Xiao Yao Wan has a wide variety functions and the herbs help you flow around obstacles rather than being blocked.



I think of St. John's wort as a distillation of sunshine- anyone who has seen the riotous yellow and red hypericum blossoms in summer can see how the red resins would bring in that quality of warm lightness. Not only an antidepressant this herb helps with nerve pain healing wounds and lifting the spirit.



Herbalist Michael Tierra brilliantly paired these herbs together to make an antidepressant formula for those who are stuck and depressed. As a formula with ingredients that deal with blood flow the functioning of the liver and the ability of the digestive process to extract nutrients (we make 85% of our serotonin in the gut) as well as with serotonin and norepinepheron reuptake inhibitions and the 23 other antidepressant functions of St. John's wort it performs brilliantly.More detail ...

Not a 'cure all' but it helps...

I started taking Planetary Herbals 600mg St. John's Wort almost 4 months ago. I was hesitant to buy these pills on Amazon because it didn't have any ratings or feedback but I am pleasantly surprised on how well it has worked for me.



I have suffered with major depression and mild anxiety for years. I found out that it was going to cost me an arm and a leg to see and doctor and get medication (being that I don't have health insurance) So I decided to order this product.



Almost 4 months later I am happy to report that my major depression has transformed into a minor depression - and my anxiety has lessened somewhat.



I have been having VERY VIVID DREAMS. So much so that I was scared that it was not normal to have such vivid dreams. I went off the supplement (as I call it)

for a few days - and that was a stupid mistake on my part. I will not go off this again. My dreams are deep and I can remember them when I wake up. It's very silly to say this - but it's almost a spiritual experience when I sleep.

All my dreams have been good since starting this medication.



My life and my dreams have been improved by this supplement and I have nothing negative to say about it.



Note: I currently take two 600mg pills each evening at 7:30pm (19:30)

I've been thinking that in the future I will purchase the 750mg pills.



This is a good buy - and I believe it will improve your life -- even if it's just a little bit.

the best gluten-free baking mix I have found

My daughter has celiac (a complete inability to eat any wheat rye barley and in her case oatmeal or any of their starches or glutens). Pamela's baking and pancake mix is a real heaven-sent product. It tastes good! Unlike some other baking mixes I have tried. It is easy to alter "normal" recipes using Pamela's mix to have great tasting baked products. The bag has good recipes and Pamela's products website has additional ones. I would recommend this product to anyone especially those who don't want to take the time to mix their own grains or want to keep it on hand for when celiac family or friends come to visit and you would like to provide a delicious easy to make treat.More detail ...
