Major depression often goes hand in hand with anxiety and insomnia, which, when combined, impairs the function of the immune and cardiovascular systems. The right combination and dosage of herbs can cure depression by various mechanisms of action in different body systems.
One of these systems, which researchers found plays a decisive impact on the healing process, is our gut microbiome. Herbal medicine can not only activate our gut microbes to produce molecules, which have active pharmacological effects; it can even regulate the composition of our gut microbes, which has a direct effect on our brain.
