Herb with Depression-Treating Capabilities

Recent studies made by the Cochrane Collaboration show that herbal remedy St John’s wort is similarly effective as some medications which are commonly prescribed to treat depression, for example Prozac.

Previous studies by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a division of the National Institutes of Health, found that St. John’s wort to be “of minimal benefit in treating major depression.”

The patients taking the herbal extract also had significantly fewer side effects when compared to the group that took SSRIs. It is not clearly known how the extract works, since it can contain many groups of different components.
