St.Johns
Wort is one of the finest nirvines in the
herbal kingdom to restore the nervous system after
prolonged periods of exhaustion and stress. It can
lift depression, anxiety and irritability, stabilize
the emotions and ease insomnia. It
contains hypericin, which is a MAO inhibitor and
stimulant for dopamine, which eases depression. St Johns Wort is an excellent sun block
if used externally. More...
Caution:
Do not use while taking MAO
inhibitors, during pregnancy or while nursing.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure if taking internally.
Passionflower
leaves are used for insomnia and various
neurological disorders including Parkinson’s,
epilepsy, hysteria, neuralgia, shingles, anxiety
and hypertension. More...
Oatstraw
is used to increase strength of
mind, spirit and body. The seeds are also rich in
iron, manganese, and zinc. More...
Lavender
is useful as a nervine and antidepressant. This is
the case with most plants with blue or purplish
flowers which are known to have cooling and
nervine properties. More...
Lemon
balm is gentle and has many uses. It is useful as
a cooling diaphoretic for fevers. Since it removes
surface tension from the body, it is effective for
the treatment for nervous tension and depression.
It can also be used like other mints for upset
stomach and gas. More...
Herbal
