Gastrodin, derived from the plant Tall Gastrodia (Gastrodia elata) and a primary component of Oriental herbal medicine, has been previously shown to effectively treat various mood disorders. In a study published in the Journal of Natural Medicines, gastrodin has been found to be an effective herbal preparation for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The findings of the study suggest that gastrodin has antidepressant effects in PTSD and may be used as an effective herbal preparation for treating PTSD.
