      Saffron is a herb listed in the Bible. Use saffron for depression. Saffron is an ancient Middle Eastern spice that has been proven to reduce depression as much as Prozac without the side effects. The crocin compound found in saffron may actually increase your libido rather than lessen it like most antidepressants. Find saffron tea or extract at health-food stores.
