RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In Germany herbal medicines are traditionally frequently used. They represent an important therapeutic option, especially in self-medication. METHODS: Current systematic review articles and meta-analyses were evaluated and summarized with respect to the evidence of phytotherapeutic drugs for selected psychiatric indications. RESULTS: Apart from the use of St. John's wort for depression, no other herb has so far shown convincing evidence. CONCLUSION: Due to the promising effects and the low side effect potential within the existing studies, further randomized controlled trials (e.â¯g. for Passiflora incarnata, Rhodiola rosea and Lavendula officinalis) are definitely indicated.
