"Jonathan R. T. Davidson and Kathryn M. Connor translate hard data into the accessible answers you need to make informed decisions on taking St. John's wort for depression, kava for stress or anxiety, ginkgo for memory loss, or valerian for insomnia. Drawing on their own clinical and research experience as well as data from around the world, Drs. Davidson and Connor fill the knowledge gap with scientific facts." "You will learn: which treatments, traditional and alternative, have proven most effective for depression, stress, anxiety, memory loss, and insomnia - and where herbs fall in the list; how herbs for the mind compare to prescription drugs that have similar effects; how to judge when you're getting maximum benefits, when to switch brands or products, and when to stop taking herbs; when you may need more than herbs, and how to enlist your doctor's support with your herbal self-help program; and what the labels mean - and what they can't tell you." "With this collection of up-to-date facts, you can determine when, why, and how "herbs for the mind" may be right for you, when they are not right, and how you can play an important role in managing your own psychological health."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Two naturopaths introduce us to the world of brain biochemistry, translating the science into laymen's terms, so that the reader can understand the potential power of herbs and nutrients to enhance health, prevent disorders, and affect existing health disorders. These alternatives, or supplements, to medication are being used across the country to help treat health conditions with a psychological component—from ADHD and anorexia to insomnia, menopause, and Parkinson's Disease. Authors Meletis and Barker explain 18 of these conditions, and review the most current research into how—or whether—the use of herbs and supplements has been proven to prevent, affect or remove these health conditions, or at least some of their symptoms. Can the Chinese herb Salvia curb cravings in alcoholics? Can niacin help treat anxiety? Other herbs, nutrients, and conditions addressed include the use of zinc to reduce symptoms of anorexia and bulimia, ginkgo biloba for Alzheimer's, and 5-HTP for depression. One appendix to this volume lists the top 20 brain-enhancing herbs and supplements. Another lists nutrient deficiencies and their links to health and brain function. It is not the intent of this book to advocate for the replacement of standard drug therapy, but for the integration of these natural medicines with traditional medical treatments. Consumers are urged to discuss these herbs and nutrients with their physician before beginning use, as some allergic reactions or interactions with traditional medicines can occur. The central argument of this book is that when properly nourished people can operate at maximum physical and mental capacity, with maximum ability to fend off or recover from disease and disorder.

The Herbal Brain By: Emory E Prescott, Ph D, MS, CCC/SLP Do you want to improve your ability to pay attention, think, and remember? The Herbal Brain introduces a unique blend of twelve “nootropics” – highly beneficial herbs containing vital nutrients and properties needed for cognitive health. These same herbs are also collectively neuroprotective, regenerative, restorative, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, good for your heart and good for your immune system. Sadly, global toxicity is increasing at an alarming rate along with an unprecedented general decline for many in language skills, intelligence, and memory. The Herbal Brain focuses on natural ways to enrich your mind and body and improve your overall well-being. Included are the twelve safest and most effective nootropics you can consume, expanded with straight talk about natural medicine, the limits of western healthcare, and healthy lifestyle modifications you can make in order to survive and thrive on our toxic planet. Whether you want to improve brain health, plant a nootropic herb garden, increase your knowledge of brain-boosting aromatherapy, or just drink the ideal herbal tea blend for better health, Dr. Prescott’s guide of herbal nootropics has the beneficial information and ideas you need for stronger mind and memory.

All you need to know about herbs, nutrients, and yoga for enhancing mental health. Many physicians and therapists agree that herbs and mind-body practices enhance health, but many more are reluctant to integrate them into their clinical work because of a lack of training or, given how long it takes to master the use of hundreds of different herbs, a lack of time. But the trend is clear: clients and consumers alike want control over their health care choices, making the time ripe for a practical resource that guides both the clinician and the consumer on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This book answers that call. Three noted experts in integrative medicine, Drs. Brown, Gerbarg, and Muskin, demystify the complexities of alternative mental health care, giving readers a comprehensive yet accessible guidebook to the best treatment options out there. From mood, memory, and anxiety disorders to ADD, sexual enhancement issues, psychotic disorders, and substance abuse, every chapter covers a major diagnostic category. The authors then present a range of complementary and alternative treatments-including the use of herbs, nutrients, vitamins, nootropics, hormones, and mind-body practices- that they have found to be beneficial for various conditions within each category. For example, B complex vitamins and folate have been shown to help with depression; omega-3 fatty acids can offer relief for bipolar sufferers; coherent and resonant breathing techniques-used by Buddhist monks-induce healthy alpha rhythms in the brain to relieve anxiety; the elderly can boost their memory by taking the ancient medicinal herb Rhodiola rosea; and those with chronic fatigue syndrome can find comfort in acupuncture and yoga. Focusing on evidence-based approaches, the research, the authors' clinical experience, and the potential risks and benefits of each treatment are carefully examined. Brown, Gerbarg, and Muskin have distilled an otherwise daunting field of treatment down to its basics: their overriding approach is to present the CAM methods that are most practical in a clinical setting, easy to administer, and low in side effects. With helpful summary tables at the end of each chapter, clinical pearls, and case vignettes interspersed throughout, this is a must-have resource for all clinicians and consumers who want the best that alternative medicine has to offer.

A compilation of current scientific knowledge about psychoactive herbal drugs. Virtually all cultures consume drugs from psychoactive plants. Caffeine, for example, is probably the most common stimulant in the world, and many modern medicines, such as morphine and codeine, are derived from plant sources. In these cases, scientific research has revealed the composition of the plants and how they interact with the nervous system. There are also many herbal medications with reputed therapeutic value that have not yet gained acceptance into mainstream medicine, partly because there has not been enough research to support their usefulness. Instead they are regarded as "alternative medicines." This is an active research area, however, and many current studies are focusing on identifying the active components, pharmacological properties, physiological effects, and clinical efficacy of herbal medicines. This book compiles and integrates the most up-to-date information on the major psychoactive herbal medicines—that is, herbal medicines that alter mind, brain, and behavior. It focuses particularly on the effects on various areas of cognition, including attention, learning, and memory. The book covers all major classes of psychoactive drugs, including stimulants, cognitive enhancers, sedatives and anxiolytics, psychotherapeutic herbs, analgesics and anesthetic plants, hallucinogens, and cannabis.
