Herbalists Notes: This formula was developed in response to clinical observation of a sharp increase in stress related pathologies in the aftermath of the economic downturn since 2008 (Economic stress, business failure, foreclosure, bankruptcy). Particularly in the Telluride community I saw an increase in stress related to interpersonal and communal relations (divorce, law suits, stress in small town interaction). I chose to harvest local wild and cultivated Hops, Valerian, St Joan’s Wort. Hops was traditionally used in India Pale Ale to calm the British sailors and military personnel on the long and confined sailing voyage to India. Valerian is “above all, a sedative of strong and sure effect. (1) “Hypericin… found in St John’s Wort has long been used in Europe as an antidepressant.” (2) Melissa “calms the spirit, relieves anxiety, promotes rest, restores the nerves, promotes clear thinking and relieves depression. (3) The local herbs of Telluride are used in the fashion of using local medicines for local pathologies. The formula has proven to be extremely clinically effective, especially when used in a thorough going integrative program of diet, lifestyle, acupuncture, counseling and self care. It is still effective on its own for symptomatic relief, but works best as a component of a larger program.
