Gee thanks
The herbs that are recommended for depressives are called trophorestoratives in the excellent "Principles and Practice of Phytotherapy" by Mills and Bone. I the meaning to be that some herbal sedatives (like valerian) are inadviseable for depressives. The ones recommended are Avena officinalis (oatstraw), Hypericum perforatum (St John's Wort), Scuttelaria lateriflora (skullcap), Turnera aphrodisica (damiana), Verbena officinalis (vervain) and Withania somnifera (Ashwaganda). Not all thse are useful hypnotics (of course!). Skullcap, vervain and withania have been useful for me, (although I have heard of people having sleep problems with withania). I would add Zizyphus spinosa, the main herbal sedative in TCM.
