Bipolar Disorder

[sakura-draoi.livejournal.com]

Does anyone here know of any herbs or natural remedies for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder? More accurately the manic or hypomanic part of this disease? Also what about the depression side of Bipolar Disorder? I know many people take St. John's Wort for Depression. I've read in some journals about valerian Root being used for Bipolar. any comments on this?

Thankyou in advance for any and all responses.

I was dignosed with bi-polar years ago. None of the medications helped and the manic side of it was just increasing. From my observation and I've heard some herbalists say this, there is no such thing as bi-polar. It's either that you have controlling parents or you are going through puberty. Hoever I have found Valerian root to be good for my anxiety. Now I don't even need it. I've become a pretty calm person.
