because all of those are proven effective
observationalist
The chamomile contains apidenin, a flavenoid with a mildly anti-anxiety effect.
zigzagler
The reason peppermint tea helps with feeling "bloated" is because it supposedly helps you fart. I'm not sure how.
djcoreyfeldman
Peppermint is supposed to be an antispasmodic which tells your stomach and intestine muscles to chill out and let gas and such through.
zigzagler
TIL a thing.
ReptilianOverlord
Ginger is the tits for curing nausea. I used to chew ginger root when I worked on boats to cure the seasickness.
lvlephisto
Ginger does help some people, but many doesn't do anything for (my wife for one).
szepasszony
Yeah, even I drink ginger ale for nausea, and I'm as skeptical as they come when it comes to herbal medicine (I'm a research biochemist).

Yeah, the "it's 'natural' so it must be good for you" attitude is pretty bullshit, but some herbal medicines do work.

I'd bet you could convince the gullible that using different kinds of gummibears would have similar effects. Because Placebo!

I'm just saying: What was once considered ignorant folk medicine is now modern science. Never believe we know everything in science.

Nice appeal to tradition. Doesn't prove tea effective for treating diseases though.
UpvotesForCalicos
True, but these aren't diseases. But let's take the peppermint one for stomachaches, etc for example. What do you think is in PEPto Bismol?
Lemmesmash
Common cold is, slow metabolism sounds like woo. It's plausible, but I wonder if you can take up enough ingredient for a therapeutic effect.

You can definitely have those kinds of tea when you're feeling those ways. It might not help, but you can certainly do it.

Only someone who's not depressed would say exercise. Also, you don't lift a few weights and BAM, your psychological disorder is gone.
ghostsdesu
What a load. I've been in and out of therapy for chronic depression for the last 10 years. Exercise has helped me more than pills ever did.
ghostsdesu
And of course the disorder isn't gone, I never implied it. I said endorphins HELP, because they DO.
ficarra1002
Yeah, pushing a semi-truck HELPS it move, but it's ultimately not going to make a difference.
ghostsdesu
So you might as well just not push? Look, it's not a solution, and there is no one-trick solution to depression. But I'd rather do whatever
iwantashortnameforonceohshit
I see that you've gotten this response already, but I suffered with clinical depression for years; marijuana has helped me immensely. GL <3

St. John's Wort - I'll just add for anyone out there, that, if remember correctly, you can't take St. John's Wort if you are on the pill.
QuietLittleLeaf
It speeds up how a body metabolises, thus medication half-life is shortened...which with BC pills means ovulation chances are higher.
ZoidbergIsGreat
Not a good idea. St. John's Wort functions as an MAOI. MAOIs are no longer used because they interact poorly with practically everything!
rinnybell210
What does it do with the pill?
bearred
I use SJW. The best/most potent form is in drops. Quality also matters. Obv. check with Dr., etc., etc.
nabraxis
Also you can't take St Johns wort of you are on antidepressants, antipschycotics, or mood stabilizers.
MrCoolGuy
What is St. John's Wort? It's not what I think it is... Right?
arisahne
St John's wort is a yellow flowering plant and supposed to help with mental problems.
Doodle09
I'd also recommend Sam-E. I think it works better than St John's Wort plus it doesn't interact with the pill.
Zuki
There are other medications that you can't combine with St.John's Wort, too. It greatly increases the rate at which your liver filters (1/2)
Zuki
stuff out of your bloodstream and the effectiveness of your birthcontrol, your antidepressant, etc, tanks. (2/2_
summerbreezes
So is that why I couldn't get drunk when I was on st John's wort?
thedaythecatdiscoveredmirrors
Don't use STW if you're taking ANY manufactured drug. Part of the reason we don't use it medicinally in north america.
ohdeepthought
St Johns wort has so many interactions that I highly recommend that you don't just buy it. Double check if its safe to take for you.
QuietLittleLeaf
yeah, if your on anything prescribed it can shorten it's halflife which can be very bad. Check with a pharm. or your doc.
YouWereAlmostAJillSandwich
I used to get bad bouts of 'oh fuck I'm a horrible person' after a night out; been taking SJW now for 6 months and it's a life saver.
DrMoneybeard
Do other people do that? It genuinely never occurred to me that I wasn't the only one who does this. Every. Fucking. Time.
finallystoppedlurkingonimgur
Why?
ohdeepthought
Decreases the efficacy of the pill and can increase likelihood of pregnancy. Source AMH 2013
ProneToWandering
It actually impacts the liver and how it metabolizes drugs.. therefore the birth control pill is metabolized faster and doesn't work as well
UncleB0b
5HTP is okay too... just make sure you don't take too much or it will make your life hell.
fundipsundrip
how does it make your life hell? i used to take it all the time >_>
UncleB0b
Stops you from being able to sleep. Gives you massive panic/anxiety attacks and increases your depression 3 fold.
fundipsundrip
wow i didn't know that. it didn't prevent me from sleeping though. it actually made me sleepy and helped me fall asleep.
igotausernamejusttotellyou
Yeah, hi, nursing student here. If you're taking antidepressants (MAOIs, SSRIs, etc.) already then don't take this. They interact together.

"Research hints at therapeutic uses" is _not_ the same as 'this cures depression'.
JosephQuesnel
Needs upvotes. That said, in conjucton with therapy it is excellent and the good feels can be quite inspiring even if it does NOT cure.
