• Traditionally used to help support melancholy, headache, insomnia, stress and anxiety and much more.
St. John's Wort has been extensively studied and shown to be as effective as standard antimelancholy products, and have fewer side effects than standard antimelancholy drugs. St. John's Wort is effective in the support for mild to moderate melancholy which usually relates to a life event, as has been shown in numerous studies. It is quickly becoming the number one product tried to help support melancholy in Germany. As with conventional anti-depressants, therapeutic effects are not to be expected before 2-3 weeks of therapy.
St. John's Wort has historically been a commonly used botanical for wounds, because of its health-supporting activity. It also has a history of use for the support of a wide variety of neurological complaints, including anxiety, insomnia due to restlessness, irritability, neuralgia, neuroses, headaches, fibrositis, dyspepsia, and sciatica. Recent studies have shown that it could have a potent supportive against germs St. John's Wort contains essential oils, glycosides, hypericin, pseudohypericin, resins, rutin and other flavanoids, and tannins.

The feel-good best-seller of the modern herbal market, St. John's Wort migrated from Europe and Asia with the colonists several centuries back. It now grows extensively in North America as a perennial shrub. It has oblong leaves and bright yellow, star-shaped flowers. St. John's Wort was once harvested on and around St. John's Day (June 24). Wort (not wart) is an Old English word for plant, root, or herb.
Potential Health Benefits
The flowers of St. John's Wort are considered the most active part of the plant for health, which has won renown to help support mild melancholy. Taken internally, it improves mood and allays anxiety. In Germany, the plant far outsells Prozac. St. John's Wort is also applied topically to help support burns, given that is has disinfectant qualities and is an anti-inflammatory agent. Additionally, Commission E recommends internal use to calm the stomach.
Scientific Evidence
The plant's most celebrated active ingredient is hypericin. Other as yet unknown chemicals may help give St. John's Wort its power to help support symptoms of melancholy, researchers believe, with the substance hyperform thought to be a likely candidate.
According to a 1996 study in the British medical journal Lancet, a review of 23 tests of the herb, covering nearly 1,800 patients, found St. John's Wort to be as effective as prescription drugs and with much milder side effects.
In an article for Prevention magazine, Varro E. Tyler, dean emeritus of the Purdue University School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Studies, cited German studies of 3,250 sad patients, 80 percent of whom said they felt much less depressed after taking St. John's Wort.
St. John's Wort is an anti-melancholy, comparable in strength to prescription anti-melancholys such as Elavil and Triavil. As such, it should only be taken after consulting with a physician. The biggest problem with using this herb may be getting a reliable supply. Tests show that the contents of many supplements do not match what is on the label. Cheaper may not be better, and consumers may want to stay with more established brands. Even buying well-known names may not be enough, since the products are standardized for hypericin content, and we now know that a completely different compound, hyperforin, is the active ingredient. Since hypericin is not the active ingredient, a product containing exactly the stated amount of hypericin could, conceivably, be less potent than another product containing the same amount of hypericin, but less hyperforin! An industry-wide standard is badly needed.
St. John's Wort is an aromatic perennial herb that produces star-shaped golden yellow flower with five petals that secrete a red liquid when pinched. Originally, St. John's Wort was native to Europe only, but now it can be found growing almost everywhere in the world.
This plant has been tried for over 2,000 years. Ancient Greeks believed that its odor repelled evil spirits. Early Christians named the plant in honor of St. John the Baptist because they believed it released its blood-red oil on the 29th of August, the day the saint was beheaded.
Clinical trials support the assertion that St. John's Wort is effective in maintaining normal sleep patterns and a healthy nervous system. It is also useful in the release of stress and frustration and in the re-balancing of moods. The efficacy of St. John's Wort may be attributed to its effect on the immune system in addition, to the effect of its active compounds.
Medicinal Usage
The herb is harvested just as the plant comes into bloom. A health-supporting oil can be prepared by soaking a handful of the fresh flowers in a cup of olive oil for about three weeks. The yellow flowers will turn the oil a deep blood-red color.
St. John's Wort oil has been a popular domestic supportive since ancient times. Externally it is applied to bruises, sprains, burns, skin irritations, or any laceration accompanied by severed nerve tissue. Internally a tea or liquid extract can be used to help support lung ailments, bladder infections, melancholy, dysentery and diarrhea.
It has been highly esteemed as an anti-melancholy and sedative. It is resolvent, expectorant, nervine, and astringent. St. John's Wort contains phototoxins which may cause photodermatitis in fair-skinned persons who use the herb internally, then become exposed to bright sunlight. Because of this propensity, in 1977, the FDA put this herb on its "unsafe herb list"
St. John's Wort contains a glycoside - hypericine - (responsible for the plant's fluorescent red pigment and phototoxicity); the flavonoids quercetin, hypericin, and rutin, an essential oil, pectin and choline.
General Herb Information
Hypericum is a large genus with about 300 species. H. perforatum is a perennial herb growing from one to three feet high, native to Europe and naturalized in waste places and along roadsides in North America.
The stems are smooth, erect, and branching toward the top. The oblong, pale green leaves are sessile and about an inch long. The leaves are covered by translucent dots easily seen by holding the leaves up to light; these are the perforations of H. perforatum. The star-shaped golden yellow blossoms appear on terminal corymbs from June to August. The flowers are about an inch across and marked, especially along the margins, with minute dark dots and lines.
St. John's Wort is best propagated from root divisions made in spring or fall, or by spring cuttings.
It is not particular about soil , growing in any average garden soil. It does like good drainage, a slightly acid situation, and full sun.
How to Use the Herb
Commission E notes that the herb can be used as a daily dose of 2-4 grams for internal use. The standardized supplement dose in Germany for internal use contains 0.3 percent hypericin. The drug starts to work after about six weeks for patients with mild to moderate melancholy.
St. John's Wort has been extensively studied and shown to be as effective as standard melancholy supporter, and have fewer side effects than standard antimelancholy drugs.

Hypericum perforatum, L. (Hypericaceae), commonly called St. John's Wort, and Fairy herb. In French, it is Herbe de la St-Jean, and Millepertuis perforé; in German, Johanniskraut.
Source
Products containing St. John's Wort are made from the dried flowering tops and upper parts of the plant. They must be harvested just before, or just as, flowering begins. Flowers are harvested from the wilds during July-August, mainly in eastern Europe, although it is now grown commercially in South America.
Hypericum contains a number of different, unrelated compounds, many of which possess important biological activity (naphthodianthrones, flavonoids, phloroglucinols and xanthones). These molecules are not distributed evenly throughout the plant, so depending on the source of the raw materials, hypericum formulations will contain variable amounts of each.
Products are usually standardized for their content of a molecule called hypericin. Unfortunately, it is now clear that hypericin is not the molecule responsible for the anti-melancholy effect, so even "standardized" formulas may sometimes prove ineffective.
History
The common name for Hypericum, St. John's Wort, comes from the fact that the herb flowers around the time of St. John's Day (June 24). Its flowers are golden yellow, but they also contain a red pigment that is said to symbolize the blood of St. John. Hypericum was first used to drive away witches and evil spirits, but the anti-melancholy properties of the herb were recognized early on. Culpeper's Complete Herbal and English Physician, published in 1826, claimed that a liquid extract made from wine and hypericum flowers could ward off melancholy and insanity.
Traditional Support Uses
Diuretic, sedative, astringent and anti-melancholy.
Commission E Recommendations
St. John's Wort is used internally to help support anxiety, melancholy, and dyspepsia (upset stomach). Externally, it can be used to help support contusion injuries, first degree burns and muscle pain.
Possible Effects
Laboratory studies of hypericum extract have shown that something in this plant fights the reuptake of neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine). Since reuptake is the way the brain terminates the activity of those neurotransmitters, inhibition of reuptake leads to exaggerated effects. Cocaine, for example, works in exactly the same way, by reducing dopamine reuptake. Modern anti-melancholy drugs, such as Prozac, fight the reuptake of serotonin. Their anti-melancholy effects are thought to be due, at least in part, to increased levels of serotonin in certain parts of the brain.
The active molecule contained in hypericum extract is now known to be a substance called hyperforin, and not the red pigment hypericin. Well- controlled studies of outpatients with mild or moderate melancholy have shown that hypericum extracts are superior to placebo and about as effective as standard anti-melancholys. Claims for other actions have never been validated in believable clinical trials.
Dosage
Commission E recommends a daily dose of 2 to 4 grams of crude drug containing 0.2 to 1 mg of total hypericin. Commercially available products in the United States generally contain on the order of 300 mg.
The recommended dose for melancholy, at least in Europe, is 900 mg per day as a starting dose, though in milder cases, doses as low as 300 mg per day may be sufficient.

St. John's Wort, Common Hypericum perforatum (Perforate St. John's Wort)
Medicinal Usage
St. John's Wort can be used to help support nervous exhaustion, melancholy, insomnia, bronchial catarrh, stomach complaints and madness. Externally, it can be used to help support wounds (particularly deep sword cuts), sores, burns, bruises, inflammations, sprains, haemorrhoids and nerve pains, such as neuralgia and sciatica.
Culinary Usage
The fresh leaves of St. John's Wort were added to salads.
Miscellaneous
A native of Britain, St. John's Wort was reputed to possess rejuvenating and protective powers derived from John the Baptist: the red spots on its leaves (said to appear on 29 August, the anniversary of his death) representing the blood spilled when the saint was beheaded. When crushed, the yellow flowers also release a red juice. Alternatively, some authorities claim that the herb takes its name from the Knights of St. John, who used it to help support symptoms of those wounded in the Crusades. The glandular dots or 'perforations' around the edges of the leaves were said to have been caused by the devil in a vain attempt to destroy the plant with a needle. As a protection against evil, the herb was once known as Fuga daemonium, or the 'devil's flight', because its scent was said to be so abhorrent to the devil that he was forced to keep well away. Its botanical name Hypericum is thought to be derived from the Greek for 'over a picture', a reference to the flowers being placed above a religious image to ward off evil. Superstition claimed that those treading on the plant after sunset would be carried away by a fairy-horse on a wild journey that would last the entire night. The herb yields a yellow dye with alum and a violet-red dye with alcohol.

St. John's Wort is the world's best known herbal alternative for promoting a positive mental attitude. St. John's Wort contains unique dietary ingredients including a compound known as hypericin, which researchers believe may be responsible for it's exciting, smile-inducing benefits.
The name Saint John's Wort is said to be in honor of the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem who used this herb to help support battlefield wounds. Because the hypericin content produces a bright red hue, the herb is often associated with blood, and is often collected on June 24th, the feast day of John the Baptist (the date he was beheaded). In the early 1900's, a beetle was introduced into the Pacific Northwest to keep this plant under control. Unfortunately, the effects of that action are greatly felt today, since the usefulness of this plant has led to great popularity.
The major constituents in St. John's Wort include hypericin and other dianthrones, flavonoids, xanthones, and hyperforin. While it was previously thought the anti-melancholy actions of St. John's Wort were due to hypericin and the inhibition of the enzyme monoamine oxidase, current research has challenged this belief, focusing on other constituents, such as hyperforin, and flavonoids. Test tube studies suggest that St. John's Wort extracts may exert their anti-melancholy actions by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. This action is possibly due to the constituent hyperforin. St. John's Wort is able to act as an anti-melancholy, by making more of these neurotransmitters available to the brain. It may take a couple of months of use before one experiences the full benefits of the herb's anti-melancholy properties.
Yohimbe is a tall evergreen forest tree native to southwestern Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, and the Congo. The bark of this African tree is used for health benefits. There are concerns, however, that the tree may be endangered due to over-harvesting for use for health.
Historically, yohimbe bark was used in western Africa for fevers, and coughs. It can also be tried to dilate pupils, for support of a healthy heart, and as a local anesthetic. It has a more recent history of use as an aphrodisiac and a hallucinogen.
The alkaloid known as yohimbine is the primary active constituent in yohimbe, although similar alkaloids may also play a role. Yohimbine blocks alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, part of the sympathetic nervous system. It also dilates blood vessels. Yohimbine inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO) and therefore may theoretically be of benefit in melancholy disorders.
Pumpkins and other squashes are native to North and Central America, but have since been cultivated around the world. The seeds are primarily used in herbal health. The yellow blossoms of pumpkins are also used for health in some native traditions.
Native s used pumpkin flesh and seeds for food. Their use of the seeds for the potential to help support symptoms of intestinal concerns eventually led the United States Pharmacopoeia to list pumpkin seeds as an official supportive for bloating from 1863 to 1936. Natives also commonly used pumpkin seeds to help support a variety of kidney problems. The flowers were used topically to soothe minor injuries.
Pumpkin Seeds contain iron, B vitamins, and trace minerals. Pumpkin is also a natural source of magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Pumpkin seeds contain several major groups of active constituents: essential fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols (e.g. beta-sitosterol) minerals, and vitamins.
