Description
St. John's Wort has been extensively studied and shown to be as effective as standard antidepressive treatment, and have fewer side effects than standard antidepressive drugs. St. John's Wort is effective in the treatment of mild to moderate depression which usually relates to a life event, as has been shown in numerous studies. It is quickly becoming the number one treatment for depression 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 one of the most relied upon botanicals for wound treatment, because of its anti-microbial activity. It also has a history of use for a wide variety of neurological conditions, including anxiety, insomnia due to restlessness, irritability, neuralgia, neuroses, migraine headaches, fibrositis, dyspepsia, and sciatica. Recent studies have shown that it could have a potent anti-viral effect against enveloped viruses (eg. genital herpes). St. John's Wort contains essential oils, glycosides, hypericin, pseudohypericin, resins, rutin and other flavanoids, and tannins.

Directions
Fresh drawn, boiling water contains the most oxygen, thereby giving the fullest taste to tea. Water that has been boiling for some time looses the oxygen and thereby the best taste.
Allow full expansion during the infusion and easy removal after the time for steeping has elapsed.
Draw into a tea pot or kettle the best fresh water that you have available.
Warm the teapot and cups while the water is boiling.
