Question 1

how much indian basil tea should you drink to relieve depression/anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't matter: There is no scientific evidence that indian basil tea is a treatment for depression. Depression is a serious medical disorder that should only be treated with interventions that have been shown to be effective in double blind placebo controlled studies.

Question 2

it is ok to drink cassia acutifolia tea, if i have ulcers. migraine or depression?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The most serious problem with over-the-counter herbal medications is that they are unregulated. Avoid all OTC preparations that are not independently tested for purity.. That means not by the drug company itself. The USP for sure is sk. Otherwise you may be getting something you don't want, too much, or too little

Question 3

how much tulsi tea (indian basil) should i drink per day to help with depression and anxiety feelings?

Accepted Answer

See the long answer: I am not aware of the constituents of tulsi tea, but the question which needs to be asked 1st is: what is the severity of the depressive episode? Some studies have indicated that certain herbal remedies - ex. St. John's wort - may be helpful ways to treat a mild depression, but antidepressant meds are more appropriate in the treatment of more severe episodes.

Question 4

could drinking chamomile tea help you more then acupuncture with your anxiety & depression?

Accepted Answer

I find chamomile: Can help one to relax, fall asleep ; diminish anxiety. However, I have a number of psychiatric patients who use  acupuncture instead of psychiatric medications with good results. Many mix acupuncture, medicine and some form of talking treatment. Acupuncture is good with depression but can be excellent when used as an adjunct for anxiety treatment.

Question 5

i have a doubt about chamomile tea, i am on paroxetine cr 25mg tab which i take at bed time for anxiety and light depression, will it affect, is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Tea is safe: I am assuming your question was if it is safe to mix Paxil (paroxetine) and chamomile tea- which it is. Drink up!

Question 6

suffering from depression for 20 yrs. hand shakes so much that i cant even sign, write or hold cup of tea. need help to overcome it.how can i fix thi?

Accepted Answer

May be unrelated: Shaking hands isn't a typical symptom of depression. It can be caused by anxiety, or possibly a side effect of certain medications. This can also be caused by aging to a certain extent, although yours sounds pretty severe. I recommend seeing a doctor to rule out Parkinson's or other neurological problem.

Question 7

suffering from depression for 20 yrs. hand shakes so much that i cant even sign, write or hold cup of tea. need help to overcome it as soon as possibl?

Accepted Answer

Shaking hands are: not necessarily a sign of depression. Please see a neurologist to be evaluated for essential tremors.  If you are diagnosed w/that condition, try to let go of the idea that it is part of depression.  If you are also depressed please see a mental health professional.  The book "Feeling Good" by David Burns may also be helpful.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

i take wellbutrin for depression and vistaril for anxiety. i enjoy drinking yogi tea, i was wondering if it is safe to drink the kava stress relieftea?

Accepted Answer

Understand: Understand that Kava is a tranquilizer/sedative: it will make you sleepy. Added to your other meds you could be dopey and accident-prone. Do not drive or work around machinery if you use it.

Question 9

i am taking levomil 40mg and amitone 10mg to treat depression which has contributed in 20kg weight gain. 
can i take muscleblaze keto burner (green tea extract, garcinia, coffe bean extract) along with these antidepressants? is it safe?

Accepted Answer

: Physicians should not endorse the use of supplements as they are not investigated by government agencies. We can't vouch for purity as contaminants could interact with your levomil and cause dangerous reactions. Also efficacy and safe dosing of supplements are totally unknown. Your pharmacist can possibly provide you with some information about these supplements.

Question 10

i am experiencing feeling anxious that gets worse with psychological stress, that is unaffected by caffeinated drinks (coffee, tea, soda, etc.), feeling depressed specifically feelings of worthlessness, specifically feeling smothered, and not including fe

Accepted Answer

Anxiety/Depression: For starters try the following:  go for walk or do activity (exercise reduces stress and feelings of depression), improve sleep, talk to loved one or friend.
