Antidepressant Drug Effects and Depression Severity

Last month, The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study questioning the effectiveness of antidepressant drugs. The drugs are useful in cases of severe depression, it said. But for most patients, those with mild to moderate cases, the most commonly used antidepressants are generally no better than a placebo.

GreenhouseWe are quickly preparing our greenhouses for spring plantings. The seeds have all been cleaned, and are ready to go. In about a week, we will turn on the heat in the greenhouses and begin warming them up. First herb to plant: Astragalus.

It's been a very mild winter, and the cover crops are growing well. How mild has the winter been? Well, the Valerian is already sprouting! Let's hope we don't get a freeze before spring arrives.

We've been spreading compost piles on the new fields we will use next year. We are in the process of adding new acres to the farm - in more ways than one! In addition to planting new acres where we are, we are aggressively seeking additional land to farm. Oregon's Wild Harvest needs to expand to better meet the demands for the herbs we can grow right here.

In the meantime, we are looking forward to using our new automated planter, which plants four rows of seeds at a time, and can add the Biodynamic® prep as the seed is being planted. Very cool.

   Herbs of the Month

St. John's Wort 90ct

OWH St. John's Wort 90ctStudies have shown that hypericin and related bioactive constituents are concentrated in the flowering buds of St. John's Wort. We have standardized our harvesting process to retain total hypericin, without compromising other active constituents. We are careful to select only the buds in consideration of this activity. This product meets or exceeds our minimum potency standard of 0.3% total naphthodianthrones as hypericin. [Click here]

Holy Basil, Organic 60ct

Holy Basil Organic 60ctAs an impressive adaptogenic tonic, Holy Basil protects the body from the negative effects of daily stress and aging by maintaining the intricate balance of our nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. The balance of these systems is important in the maintenance of a normal inflammation response. [Click here]

Green Tea, Organic 90ct

Organic Green Tea 90ctGreen tea has been consumed throughout the ages in Asia. Prior to the consumption of Tea as an infusion, it was ingested just like other herbs. Green Tea is produced by lightly steaming the freshly cut leaf, thus not allowing oxidation of the enzymes within the leaf to take place. The chemical composition of green tea varies with climate, season, horticultural practices, and the age of the leaf (position of leaf on the harvest shoot). [Click here]
