About the Herbs!
St Johns Wort has been used for centuries to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, there is a long history of treating depression symptoms with this herb. The NCCIH (a division of the National Institutes for Health) says St. John's wort is " more effective than a placebo" for treating mild to moderate depression and some studies say "its efficacy is comparable to SSRIs"
Calendula is said to support hormonal imbalances and can help with mood swings (especially related to PMS) and is a great stress-reducer.
Chamomile is well known for its relaxing qualities and it workes great for easing symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. It is believed that chamomile can increase neurotransmitter activity (serotonin and dopamine)
Goldenrod is another great warming and drying herb, I hand-harvested a small batch from my garden this summer and tinctured it under the suns rays. Thats where I came up with the name "bottle of sunshine".
