St Johns wort has a reputation for it's side effects and interactions with other chemicals. I reckon it's better to use 5HTP or tryptophan because you get the inceased serotonin levels AND tryptophan especially, can help with spiritual dhyan and concentration. I've taken both of these on and off in different stamina building regimes with diet, but they should also work if depressed due to serotonin levels being on the 'low' side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've no experience with St Johns Wort but do know the most potent techniques to relax the Nervous tension (which helps in depression). Personally, I've used the first two in my family and perfect results: 1. While the patient is lying on the back, bend all the toes of both legs, backward. Keep those bend for at-least 1-2 minutes. It may hurt but give little more pressure and bend them as much as possible. Repeat this three times a day till the tension is removed. 2. Take Magnesium Citrate (and not magnesium sulphate or any other magnesium xxx). Opt for 100% pure powder and not any other derevative http://www.amazon.ca/Now-Foods-Magnesium-Citrate-Powder/dp/B004189JCW/ Also, homeopathic bio-chemic salt combination number 16 (a.k.a BC salt # 16) is very effective in treating depression. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhul chuk maaf younger paaji, ...St john wort is a herbal medicine, but it is also one that has many chemical side-effects and interactions. I remember that back in the UK, (where I am from!), it became famous in mainstream public because it brought to attention to everyone that herbal=natural-->>does not always mean it's safe. Herbal medicines can still have the same toxic qualities as conventional meds. Reminds me about something funny because here in BC, you can get marijuana in various forms with a special medical card from your doctor. Saying this, I've heard about a couple of bibian at the gurdwara that were talking about some dhesi dwaa that their doctor has given them a special card for. The bibis were telling the others that these dhesi capsules are in such demand and can be difficult to get and that they are marvelous for their pains....GUESS what ? ..the dhesi capsules are the famous BC-marijuana or bc-bud! LOL!!..........I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of the bibis being high on cloud 9 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how anti-depressants SSRIs ( selective serotonin receptor inhibitors) work, they increase the level of serotonin in your synapses. But I aint about that life lol. Tryptophan is a precursor for serotonin...so it makes sense. Lets see. Have you heard they also have discovered a neurotransmitter , which is bliss producing, and they actually named it Anandamite. 10 hours ago, das said: While the patient is lying on the back, bend all the toes of both legs, backward.

I am not a believer of Avurvedic medicine as much because these guys are not like the veds of ancient times. I am not clinically depressed, I am just looking for something to uplift mood for those rare days, But thanks for your concern, appreciate it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 14 hours ago, Lucky said: apnay banday seem to have problems with our digestives, and magnesium salts can usually cause diarrhea for us Punjabis. Magnesium Sulfate/Hydroxide(a.k.a Epsom Salts) do cause diarrhea, but NOT the Magnesium Citrate (100% pure powder) unless you intentionally take many tablespoons in one go. Magnesium Citrate is the most widely used form of Magnesium because of its good bioavailability, extensive health benefits: IBS, Heart-diseases, Brain issues, and so on.. Moreover, if you take anything abnormally, you're bound to have its side-effects......e.g if you take excessive amount of water, you would have negative side-effects. Everything has a consequence (positive/negative) in this universe. At last, do your research properly before taking any medication (including 5HTP or Magnesium or anything else), don't just take it because it is popular. The brand medicines do carry risk for long term. Chalo Raab Rakha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GurpreetKaur Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I would rather take marijuana for depression, at least it's natural and back in Punjab pretty much ghar di kheti. I still remember how much bhang we used to remove and it would grow back like crazy. Here people pay money for that thing Which i used to pluck every other week to keep my backyard clean lol But Ragamaala ji, better don't go for medication to relieve your depression. You will have to increase the dosage to get the same benefit, just like sharab and Drugs. All of us are going through this and might have gone through and will go through again and medication should be a last resort, I know your career is that but still lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will use it for 6 weeks only, not anymore, the time it takes to see effect. And Lucky ji also recommended it. I still have to order it on costco btw.
