St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum)
Proven Herbal Mood Enhancer
St. John's Wort has been called a "mood enhancer" in traditional medicine, and modern research has verified the validity of this claim.
St. John's Wort, along with L-5-HTP, are two of the most well-proven antidepressants. Over 1,500 patients in 25 double-blind studies have shown
St. John's Wort to be as effective as antidepressant drugs for treating:
- depression
- anxiety
- sleep disturbance
- anorexia
- apathy
- feelings of worthlessness
Although the therapeutic outcome is similar between St. John's Wort and antidepressants, the safety profile, cost, and patient satisfaction were rated consistently higher for St. John's Wort.
Another lesser-discussed but proven effect of St. John's Wort is its anti-viral and skin-healing properties.
