Is It Advisable To Take Herbal Combination For Anxiety With Wort For Depression?
I just started taking St. John s Wort for occasional symptoms of mild depression. My acupuncturist just recommended Formula 303 (magnesium, valerian, and passion flower) for anxiety symptoms--is it safe to take this herb combination simultaneously with St. John s wort?

Hi Welcome to HCM
Yes , it is not harmful to take both the medicines simultaneously , only thing you have to take care is, take them at a gap of atleast at 1 hour from each other .
With all that , I suggest you to do some walk , pranayam and meditatation for drawing full benefit of accupuncture .
Hope you got reply for your query . All the best ,get well soon
Don't hesitate to get back if have any further query .

Hello and welcome to HCM .
I have gone through your query thoroughly .These extracts are effective in helping depression and they are used in Homoeopathy too for the same symptoms .
The available evidence suggests that the St John's Wort (Hypericum )extracts tested in the included trials are superior to placebo in patients with major depression and are similarly effective as standard antidepressants,they also have fewer side-effects than standard antidepressants.
It is safe for you to continue using all of them under medical guidance .
Hope this helps you , take care .
