St. John’s Wort

St. John’s Wort has been used as an herbal supplement for depression for many years. This herb has been used in numerous double-blind controlled studies, and also compared to prescription antidepressants. In these studies it was concluded that St. John’s Wort improved depression, sadness, anxiety and insomnia.

St. John’s Wort improves the flow of a hormone called serotonin. Serotonin is a mood elevator, and helps balance brain chemistry, in a gentle fashion without the side effects of drugs.

St. John’s Wort can be purchased at most health food stores. Follow the recommended dosages listed on the bottle.
