CBD | 13 research studies
CBD for depression, 13 clinical studies indicate the use of CBD oil for depression. The Chinese were the first to appreciate the medicinal properties of his the cannabis plant. Literature from this period suggests that cannabis was recommended for absent mindedness, rheumatic pains, constipation and disorders of the female reproductive tract. Chinese doctors used every part of the plant, including the seeds, stalks, oil, roots and leaves. The drug was administered in pills and in various porridge style pastes.
Cannabis was also used in Ayurvedic medicine which originated in India. Cannabis increases 'gastric fire' or digestion. The first major work to lay out the uses of cannabis in medicine was the Ayurvedic treatise of Sushruta Samhita written in 600 BC. This book described over 700 plant based medicines.
In Western medicine basing their knowledge on the Greek and Roman physicians Dioscorides and Galen, medieval herbalists in the West recommended cannabis for a variety of cures including coughs, jaundices, and bed wetting. In 1693 English painter and author William Salmon wrote that the seeds, leaves and juice of cannabis, plus essence and decoctions were all widely available in pharmacists shops. Later William O'Shaughnessy (1809-1889) Assistant Surgeon and Professor of Chemistry at the medical college in Calcutta published a paper entitled 'On the Preparations of the Indian Hemp or Gunjah, their effects on the Animal System of Health and their Utility in the treatment of Tetanus and other convulsive diseases.
The US Pharmacopeia would continue to list cannabis until 1941. But whereas up to the 1930s cannabis was seen as a positive, useful medicine, in 1936, under the bombardment of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, negative campaign, the experts capitulated to ignorance and propaganda, and it was downgraded.
The war on drugs and the war on cannabis continues. However through the power of new media, people movements, and intelligent scientists, attitudes are changing quickly. There is a growing body of evidence for cannabis in the treatment of numerous diseases from cancer to depression.
Here are links to 13 studies that show signs for hope with the use of CBD in the treatment of depression;

Yurcheshen et al 2015
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26265921
Wheatley 2001
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11536390

(Pittler & Ernst 2000).
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10653213
According to the authors of the review, none of the trials reported any hepatotoxic events and seven trials measured liver enzyme levels as safety parameters and reported no clinically significant changes.
The herb appears to be as effective treating anxiety as popular prescription tranquillisers such as diazepam.
4. Kava may have a role in reducing anxiety and improving subjective wellbeing during benzodiazepine withdrawal, according to a 2001 randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Malsch & Kieser 2001
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11605083

Steiner 2000
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11149250
Other studies have shown kava to have anti cancer properties
Nadiah Abu et al 2013

Valerian health benefits anxiety, insomnia, depression
http://drtomobrien.ie/valerian-natures-tranquilizer/
Mental health today in Ireland is something that concerns all of us. We all suffer from depression, anxiety, insomnia and addiction at some level and at some time. Yes, its true, we do. Eckart Tolle suggests the biggest addiction of our time is addiction to thinking! Think about it 😉
The main discourse or approach to treating mental health is informed by the medical model. Your recommended to go to your GP (Doctor), who will most likely prescribe you anti-depressants, or anti-anxiety drugs. All of these drugs have limited outcomes and often leave people with nasty side effects.
Herbal medicine is another pathway, to treat depression, anxiety and addiction. However it has been overshadowed and dominated by the power of the medical model that abaondoned natural healing in favor of the scientific model. Today we know that science is limited. It has its place, but so does nature.
There are many herbs that can be used to treat the nervous system such as skull cap, valerian, St John's wort, passion flower and lemon balm to mention a few. Many of these herbs have been studies and show to be beneficial. However due to the power and influence of the pharmaceutical industry, it does not want people to believe that nature can heal because it sees people as consumers.
Valerian is one of the most effective herbs that a herbalist can use to treat anxiety and stress. It was first used by Hippocrates the father of medicine. Valerian contains volatile oils valerine and valerenal. Valerian works by suppressing the central nervous system.
Its actions are sedative, hypnotic, anti-spasmodic and carminative. Valerian is especially effective to reduce stress, tension and anxiety. It helps to improve sleep and over all well being. Valerian has also been found to be effective for improving heart health and can be used to treat irregular heart beat, high blood pressure, and palpitations. Valerian combines well with hawthorn, another great heart herb.
Valerian is safe to use and non addictive.
Treating the nervous system valerian combines well with skull cap, oat straw, mother wort, and passion flower.
Contradictions and interactions: Do not use when pregnant, or if you are a lacating mother. Do not use if you suffer from liver disease or if your prescribed anti-anxiety medications. Always consult your herbalist when taking herbs or your doctor if changing your medications. This post is for information purposes only and herbs must be used under the supervision of a qualified herbalist.

What is Herbal Medicine?
http://drtomobrien.ie/medicinal-plants-natures-pharmacy-free-medicine/ What if a treatment for heart disease was discovered in our hedges?Or a treatment for cancer, in the food chain? Or a treatment for depression in our local park? This is the secret power of herbal medicine that the pharmaceutical industry does not want you to know!
Definition:
Medicinal plants are plants known for their medicinal benefits and used to treat and prevent disease. You are probably familiar with St John's Wort used to treat depression or Passion flower for the treatment of anxiety.
National Geographic estimate that there are around 80,000 medicinal plants worldwide. Medicinal plants are 'prescriptions from Nature'.
We have a wealth of archeological evidence showing that medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years. China and India are renowned for their use of medicinal plants with traditions dating back thousands of years.
Chemistry
The fundamental physical nature of herbal medicine is chemical. Plant chemicals are called phy-to-chemicals. The active chemical of each herb are different. Chamomile contains Volatile oil which evaporate on contact with the air. This oil inhibits the spread of bacteria giving chamomile its anti-inflamatory action. St John's wort contains hypericin, which helps in the production of dopamine and serotonin, giving St Johns Wort it anti-depressant action.
The actual healing power of a medicinal plant results from the synergy of numerous chemicals interacting within the plant. Herbal medicine is scientific without being reductionist. Pharmaceutical companies believe by extracting these chemicals individually they harness the power of the medicinal plant, but this is not the case. The real power of the plant is in its synergy. Synergy means working together - the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Evidence base
Herbal medicine has wide evidence base both in clinical practice and in research. It is evidence based medicine!
There is a wealth of Academic Journals publishing research into the effectiveness of medicinal plants
Journal of Natural Medicine
European Journal of Medicinal Plants
Journal of Herbal Medicine
International Journal of Medicinal Plants and Alternative Medicine
Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
International journal of Green and Herbal Chemistry
International Journal of Indigenous Medicinal Plants
Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy
International Journal of Herbs and Pharmacological Research
Journal of Medicinal Plants Research
Academia Journal of Medicinal Plants
International Journal of Traditional and Herbal Medicine
International Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine
Economics of medicinal plants
Sales of herbal supplements in the US in 2012 were worth over $5 billion. Interest in Herbal Medicine is on the rise as the cost of health care rises and the side effects of pharmaceuticals out weight their benefits.
