HERBALIST PERSPECTIVE
RISING SPIRITS

Depression is the major psychological condition currently affecting millions of people of all ages. This herbal and flower essence combination surpasses expectations by lifting the spirits and bringing hope and joy back into people's lives. It works more quickly and effectively than St. John's wort alone, raising ones attitude and relieving related physical and emotional symptoms.

~ St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum): is the best known herb for depression, increasing in effectiveness with continued use. Helpful for SAD (seasonal affective disorder), it acts like a ray of sunshine, alleviating the psychological symptoms of mild and moderate depression including feelings of isolation, despondency, disconnection from others and the world, and worthlessness. St. John's Wort is also helpful for poor concentration, difficulty performing daily tasks, fatigue, related anxiety, nervous unrest and insomnia. This herb's actions, as with those of most herbs, are derived from the synergistic actions of the whole plant. Scientific studies show positive results compared with conventional drug treatments with no adverse side-effects. It has been used world wide with impressive results.

~ Milky Oats/Oatstraw (Avena sativa): are helpful for nervous disorders, having a calming and toning effect on the whole nervous system. They are useful for physical and nervous related fatigue and depression, helping to relieve lethargy and nervous exhaustion. In addition, they can be used for an inability to concentrate. Milky Oats/Oatstraw feed, strengthen and restore an over-stressed nervous system, actually supporting and healing the autonomic nervous system.

~ Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus sentisosis): is an excellent adaptogenic herb that has the ability to alleviate mental and related nervous disorders. It relieves irritability and promotes a sense of well being. This herb assists the body in adapting to both internal and external stress, including increasing resistance to environmental stress. It is a qi tonic for increasing energy, stamina and vitality, improving overall health. Siberian Ginseng enhances physical endurance and concentration. It has a wide range of health promoting effects including normalizing blood pressure and reducing atherosclerosis and is useful in reducing fatigue, exhaustion, depression and immune dysfunction. This herb is also helpful for increasing physical (athletic) and mental performance. Siberian Ginseng protects against radiation exposure (even computer generated).

~ Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis): is a calming, relaxing and uplifting herb, helpful for depression and related anxiety, agitation, restlessness, absentmindedness, melancholy, homesickness, and dream disturbed sleep. This herb is also helpful for relieving the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It works synergistically with St. John's Wort, increasing the effectiveness of both herbs.

~ Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata): is a nervous system restorative helpful for nervous depression, anxiety, nervous exhaustion due to long term stress, and physical and mental over-exertion causing nervousness, especially in strong willed personalities.

~ Damiana (Turnera diffusa): is a tonic for the nerves that lifts depression and increases vitality in both males and females.

~ Roses (Rosa spp.): have an uplifting effect, being helpful for chronic depression due to emotional shock or grief. They are helpful for related low self-esteem, moodiness and introversion.

~ Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra): is a restoring and rejuvenating herb with uplifting energy, as well as a general tonic for the whole body. It harmonizes all other herbs in the formula.

~ Grapefruit Essential Oil: provides a sense of well being, lightness, and a zest for life. It helps lift depression and self doubt when everything seems too much or too overwhelming.

~ Orange Essential Oil: helps one to be positive, joyous and open hearted, and helps to relieve sadness, anxiety and nervousness.

~ Elm Flower Essence: relieves overwhelmed feelings and resulting discouragement especially when taking on too much and neglecting the self.
