HERBAL REMEDIES FOR ENERGY, STRESS AND MOOD
Mood problems involving melancholy, lethargy, lack of motivation and sadness are often labelled as Depression and are considered to be a state of mind by modern wetsern medicine. Herbal medicine, however, recognises a variety of causes of depression, many of which originate from disturbances of hormone balance or body processes. In addition to “Situational Depression”, which is a state of mind related to difficult or unhappy external circumstances, there are also a number of internal causes, namely “Hormonal” (including thyroid and adrenal imbalances) and “Gastric/Hepatic” (liver and digestive disturbances), which require a different approach to treatment.
Tonic herbs such as Ginseng have been used for centuries to restore and maintain energy levels. Research has also revealed that many of these herbs can increase our resistance to stress, as well as enhance physical performance. It is well known that stressful lives can lead to adrenal or thyroid fatigue and falling energy levels or “crashes”. Not surprisingly many of the tonic herbs have been shown to influence adrenal and thyroid function.
