am not a doctor, nor do I have a license to practice medicine, so I cannot provide specific treatment recommendations or prescriptions. Depression is a complex health condition that requires a professional medical professional to develop an appropriate treatment plan based on the condition. If you are considering using herbal medicine as an auxiliary or alternative treatment, be sure to make a decision after consulting a licensed medical professional (such as a doctor, herbalist, or pharmacist). In some literature, there are studies and clinical observations that mention the following herbs may have a certain auxiliary effect on some mild to moderate depression symptoms, but they are not necessarily suitable for everyone, and cannot be simply regarded as a way to "replace" antidepressants: • St. John's Wort: Some studies have shown that it may be helpful for mild to moderate depression, but it has many potential interactions with other drugs (including prescription antidepressants, anticoagulants, etc.), so caution should be used when using it. • Rhodiola rosea: Some studies report that it may improve stress and fatigue, but large-scale, rigorous clinical verification is still lacking. • Saffron: Some small-scale trials have shown that saffron may have the effect of improving mood, but the data is not enough to replace standard treatment. • Lemon balm: Traditionally used to relieve tension, but there is also a lack of sufficient clinical data to support its status as an alternative to antidepressants. There are large differences in the regulation of Chinese herbal medicines and nutritional supplements in different regions regarding specific preparation formulas or purchase channels. The quality, source and compatibility of herbs are extremely important. Improper use may cause side effects or interact with other prescription drugs. In general, if you are interested in trying herbal conditioning, you can consider the following steps: 1. Talk to your doctor or a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner to discuss your specific situation and listen to professional advice. 2. After a doctor's evaluation, find a local qualified pharmacy, Chinese medicine pharmacy or a reputable online platform to purchase the product. Be sure to confirm that the product is from a legitimate source and check the product description, production date, approval number and other information. 3. Use strictly according to the guidance of professionals and product instructions, and avoid self-preparation or high-dose use. Remember that any changes to your health should be made with full understanding of the possible risks and under professional guidance. If you are taking antidepressant medication, you should not interrupt or change your treatment plan on your own. Before deciding on a treatment, always discuss it with a trusted healthcare provider.
