PRODUCT GUIDE

Safe All-Herbal Anti-Depressant for Children

*Without the side effects of prescription anti-depressants

"Many doctors and psychiatrists prescribe synthetic anti-depressants for children with depression or other developmental disorders.

While these medications certainly do have their place, it is my experience that they are significantly overprescribed, without first investigating more natural and equally effective alternatives.

It is alarming to see how many children are on a cocktail of prescription scheduled anti-depressants and psycho-stimulants. Often the drugs cause more complications than the original problem itself.

The use of strong scheduled drugs for children also often replaces proper assessment and the use of a complete and thorough treatment program for the child and the family."- Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist.

Diagnosis of Childhood Depression

Childhood Depression is not always as easily diagnosed as adult depression and can be masked. Children who are depressed do not always look sad and down all the time, but may have other persistent symptoms that indicate that there is a problem.

If you suspect that your child may be suffering from depression, it is always best to consult a psychologist for diagnosis and to determine the underlying causes of the depression. Children and especially teenagers who talk about suicide should always be taken seriously.

While this is sometimes a way to get attention or may be something the child learned about at school, it could be serious and it is always better to be safe and have your child properly assessed.

Never discontinue prescription medication without first consulting your doctor or a health care professional who is experienced in natural medicine.

What is MindSoothe Jr.?

Native Remedies developed MindSoothe Jr. as a response to the increasing demand for a safe, natural herbal treatment for children with depression, anxiety, OCD, Autism and related disorders.

MindSoothe Jr. uses the same highly successful formula as MindSoothe (the adult version) and contains the same ingredients in a child-friendly dosage.

How has MindSoothe Jr. helped others?

"I am overjoyed as the parent of a 10 year old girl to find an herbal product that has made more of a difference in her mood than the prescription anti-depressant she was on. For no apparent reason, a couple years ago she started crying a lot and feeling sad. She would dwell on things that worried her, such as the possibility of her brother going away to college, her dad getting sick, etc. Nothing could console or convince her these things were not happening. We tried Lexapro, and it worked fairly well for about 11 months, until she developed a "tic" and had to stop using it. Fish oil helped somewhat after that, but not that much. Then I found MindSoothe Jr. From the very first dose, I noticed a definite improvement; she was able to play happily by herself and be content. She even talks about how much better it makes her feel. I simply cannot believe the difference. My happy little girl is back, and she doesn't stress as much about school. Doctors should somehow be made aware of this amazing product. I can't say enough about it. A prayer has definitely i been answered." - Karin, TN

"I have a child with autism and the doctors recommended that I put him on prescription anti-depressants. One recommended wellbutrin and the other said that paxil would work, but I am not in favor because my child is only 6 years old. We have used the MindSoothe Jr. for a few weeks and I just wanted to inform you that he is much less restless and seems calmer than before, making it easier for me and my wife. I also notice that he does not flap his hands around so much and he used to pick at his skin which is much less now too - only when he is very tired." - Danny, CT

"Concerned about our son's wild behavior we checked into natural remedies, first product we tried had no results after 3 months, then I purchased Focus ADHD and MindSoothe Jr. a few weeks ago, it arrived within a week and within 2 weeks the changes in my son have been outstanding, we recently had parent teacher interviews at school as his teacher was shocked by the changes in him. He went from being below average in most things to above average within a week, he also started listening 75% of the time, rather then the 1% of the time prior to using these products. We are extremely happy that Native Remedies is able to ship to Canada, they have given my son a chance to show his true self, and we are eternally grateful." - Amanda, Canada

"My six year old son was diagnosed with ADHD in November & put on Ritalin. The Ritalin made him 100 times worse. Because the Ritalin had such a bad effect on him, he was then diagnosed with bipolar disorder and put on many different medicines. I was very alarmed about the side effects (my son gained 20lbs. in a month). Then my 4 year old was diagnosed with ADHD. His doctor was fast to prescribe meds. I knew not to make the same mistake twice. I decided to try herbal meds in June 2006. My six year old is taking "Mood Tonic" and "MindSoothe". My 4 year old is taking Focus and BrightSpark. What a difference in my sons. The herbal meds. have helped my sons a great deal." - Maryann, NJ

"Following years of doctors, my son at age 5 he was diagnosed with ADHD and then all the ADHD medications, that are given to children with no results. Next was "Paxil" he tried to kill himself 4 times. I took him off all the drugs on to a DAN doctor [who] started him on a GFCF diet. He was off all wheat, soy, corn, but still problems. By accident I came across Native Remedies. He is taking MindSoothe Jr. and Pure Calm and still on the GFCF diet. I am so grateful he is acting like [a] normal boy enjoy[ing] friends and is doing great in School. Thanks!" -Joan, AZ

What are the Ingredients?

The ingredients in MindSoothe Jr. are well researched and have been shown to be effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety. Both are very well respected naturopathic herbs and have been safely used for centuries.

Depression is often associated with an imbalance in certain neurotransmitters in the brain, especially serotonin. This is often caused by stress, but may also be hereditary or linked to disorders like autism or other developmental disorders.

St John's Wort, one of the principle ingredients in MindSoothe Jr. is widely used as a treatment for depression and other disorders associated with serotonin imbalance. It has been well researched and many clinical studies have demonstrated that it can be highly effective in the treatment of depression and other mood disorders.

Passiflora has been extensively used by naturopaths as a calmative and to reduce irritability, restlessness and anxiety. It acts as a natural tranquilizer, without further aggravating the symptoms of depression, which can happen with the use of some herbs like Valerian.

The proportion of St John's Wort and Passiflora in the remedy has been carefully calculated to ensure therapeutic dosage and maximum effectiveness.

Contains less than 1% pure pharmaceutical grade ethanol, a natural preservative, when diluted as directed.
