St. Johns Wort
This herb has received much attention for its nautural anti-depressant effects. Though used extensively in Europe to treat mild to moderate depression for 15 years, it has only more recently gained wider acceptance. Extensive double blind studies support its effectiveness & safety.*
So far it has been discovered that St. John's Wort:
- Produced improvements in energy, anxiety, fear, sleep & appetite disturbances, feelings of sadness, apathy, hopelessness, helplessness, & uselessness.*
- Can be used for low mood in children at 1/2 to 1/3 dosage, depending upon the size of the child.*
- In Europe is used for bedwetting problems in children.*
It is best not to combine with prescription anti-depressants unless done under a doctor's supervision. High doses can occasionally produce photosensitivity, so avoid excessive exposure to sunlight. Combines well with other natural anti-depressant agents. Though there is no evidence of problems using St. John's Wort during pregnancy & nursing (many women have) it is advised against until more evidence is available.*
