St. John’s wort like most herbs works best in a formula oriented towards the patttern of depression. But for seasonal affective disorder, the combination of St. John’s wort and lemon balm is far better than either alone.
As for acupuncture, I have successfully used NADA protocol with PTSD and depression, and I have seen a variety of Sun Si Miao ghost treatments do amazing things within a single session for people with all kind of serious issues. In one case a woman whose mother and daughter had both committed suicide, walked into the clinic bent over, not meeting anyone’s eyes, complaining of depression. Post ghost treatment she looked right in our eyes, stood tall and in future visits dressed well and continued the change.
