They have a wealth of information on their blog https://theherbalacademy.com/blog/ including the herbs mentioned above, and include citations for medical claims. The Instagram content is simplified for easier sharing, I think, but they generally expand upon it (and often cite sources) in the captions.
I think the info in the above pic is from one of their courses.
I took a look at their website and saw an article that seemed to overlap in topic with the posted image: https://theherbalacademy.com/top-supports-for-anxiety/ although it has citations throughout the article, and lists sources/references at the end, the links for the sources all seem to just be amazon pages for various books on alternative medicine (primarily “vedic healing”, which if I understand correctly would mean that they are more religious teachings than medical ones)
While those books may be peer reviewed, academically rigorous sources, I would expect that they aren’t, and the fact that the sources for their article just links to amazon listings instead of any kind of research unfortunately gives me a lot more pause in terms of the credibility of their claims rather than assuaging my concerns of unsupported medical or mental health advice. Its still a beautiful image, and I’m glad you shared it, but I personally wouldn’t consider the origin a credible source, and would encourage folks to take medical recommendations from that source with a large grain of salt.
