In the Therapeutic Herb Manual by Ed Smith, also known as
"Herbal Ed", a blend of liquid extracts as a restorative nerve tonic is
suggested as follows: Skullcap flowering herb (Scutlellaria lateriflora) 25%,
Oat milky seed (IAvena sativa) 25%, St. John's Wort flowering top (Hypericum
perforatum) 20%, Celery seed (Apium graveolens) 15%, Lavender flower (Lavandula
angustifolia) 15%. This compound has a mild sedative action. However, it
primarily serves as a restorative tonic to the entire nervous system. This
compound is specific for neurasthenia (nervous exhaustion) and nerve weakness
resulting from prolonged illness or stress. It can be helpful for depression,
jittery nerves, restlessness and mental fatigue, and drug withdrawal. The
suggested dose is two to five times daily, 30 to 40 drops in water. For optimal
results it is suggested this be taken for 1 to 3 months.
