St. John's Wort has been shown to be effective for mild to moderate depression. It has traditionally been used with children for bedwetting and "hysteria" (depression). We combine St. John's Wort with other herbs because of the synergistic effects of herb combinations; the sum of the parts creates a more effective blend than one herb alone.
Always see a prescriber before a child is weaned from his or her medications or begins any herbal therapy program. Childhood depression can be a multi-faceted disorder, and herbs are just one part of a holistic lifestyle. Locate a natural practitioner(s) who will help heal a child's body and spirit through clean diet, exercise, restful sleep, appropriate counseling and play.
Note: After extensive testing and research that demonstrated alcohol was the most effective solvent for St. John's Wort's properties, Herbs for Kids decided to use alcohol as the extractant for this herb. After the herb has been extracted, we evaporate the alcohol and replace it with glycerine. This is the only Herbs for Kids herb extracted using alcohol.

What an honor itis for each of us to be involved in children's health care! To be allowedto participate in such a vital part of a child's growth is certainly oneof the greatest satisfactions we could ever receive. Sharing the age-oldtradition of using healing plants to nourish and soothe an ailing child isnot only a health care decision; it's an art, an act of environmentalcommitment, a quest for more information, a pledge towards a gentler,simpler and more affordable way of life. Teaching children to appreciateremedies that come from the garden is one simple step towards thelifestyle we all yearn for, and can be the hands-on approach to takingpart in our own health care that is our birthright.
Herbal medicine must be used wisely. We are fortunate to live in a time when excellent technological treatmentsare available for major health challenges. We must now be willing tolearn what our limitations are, and what the limitations of modernmedicine are. As parents and herbal educators, we must co-operate, in thefinest sense of the word, with our medical practitioners: listeningcarefully to our doctors' good advice, learning from them as we see themlearning from us and creating a partnership of trust that includes thesafe use of herbs. Keep in mind that herbal remedies are gentle yetstrong, and must be used 3 - 5 times per day for results.
Life moves quickly in these times ofchange. A child's illness is often an invitation to slow down, rest, playand to be loved. Be sure to listen to their message. Trust the plants.
