Sumario:A recent discussion expanded the debate about the experimental research on Gelsemium in anxiety. Herbal medicine is widely used in anxiety and mood disorders, often with contradictory evidence, although some authors are yet prompted to promote their full introduction in pharmacology as a promising therapy. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in anxiety is particularly appreciated by individual healthcare, but deserves further investigation, as many critical issues have been recently raised. Comments about the ability of negligible doses of Gelsemium hydroalcoholic extracts to affect gene expression were recently reported.
