33rd International Conference on Public Mental Health and Neurosciences

  Since ancient times, herbal medicines have been utilized to treat mental health conditions. Salicylic acid, which comes from willow trees, and morphine, which comes from poppies, are only two examples of the many drugs used in modern medicine that have their roots in plants. Several herbal remedies are effective in general psychiatry. The majority of herbal psychotropic medications are quite safe and have fewer side effects than traditional antidepressants or antianxiety medications. But not everyone is safe. Because herbal treatments are more complicated than traditional ones, psychiatrists may be less likely to suggest them. The toolbox of conventional medications we have in our arsenal now includes herbal medicine. Herbs are typically tolerated well and reasonably priced.

  Plant-based components make up herbal medicines. They are available in a variety of forms, including skin creams, liquid drops, teas, and capsules . They are available from herbalists, supermarkets, pharmacies, and health food stores. Some people believe that herbal therapies must be safer or less likely to have side effects than psychiatric medications . But this isn't always the case. Just like conventional treatments, herbal remedies can have negative effects and interact with other medications. Those that aren't properly prepared could be toxic. So you should approach any kind of supplement or medication with equal caution. Even if it's simple to purchase herbal treatments without a prescription, some of them could not be right for you or even be hazardous in some cases
