Description
What is St. John's Wort? (Hypericum perforatum)
St. John’s Wort is best known for its support in helping mild to moderate depression. At least 23 studies consistently show its effectiveness in this regard, with some showing it to be as effective as Prozac, with less side effects. St. John’s Wort has also been shown to be more effective than placebo. It is not indicated for severe depression.
St. John’s Wort is best used long-term and typically takes up to 3 months for full benefits to be experienced. While the exact mechanism of St. John’s Wort is not fully understood, it is suspected to have action similar to monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) medications. It inhibits the reuptake of several neurotransmitters, notably serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline; serotonin and dopamine are both very important for mood stability. If St. John’s Wort matches the biochemical reason for the depression, it can be very helpful; if it doesn't, it will not produce the desired antidepressant effect, in which case other botanicals or medications should be used. It combines well with Kava to help ease anxiety and promote a more uplifted, elevated mood.
St. John’s Wort has a long history of use for muscle and neurological pain including fibromyalgia, bursitis, injuries, and athletic injury, and combines well with Skullcap and Valerian for pain associated with these conditions. It also helps to stabilize nerve endings which may help prevent herpes outbreaks (cold sores, genital blisters, shingles) from erupting, especially when under stress. It is used orally, and topically in oil form, for soft tissue healing including burns, and the infused oil makes a great massage oil for muscle aches (combines especially well with Arnica for this purpose).
