Herbal Therapies

St John's Wart is a well known herbal therapy used to treat mild to moderate depression.

It is important not to combine this medication with other antidepressants as it can cause some serious drug interactions resulting in heart arrhythmias. Prescription medications have many more research studies done with them and may be a better choice.

These and other herbal medications often have drug interactions with prescription drugs so should never be taken without checking their safety with your present medication therapy.
