What is St John’s Wort Used For?
St John’s wort is a herb with a yellow flower. It is commonly used for mild to moderate depression, nervousness, trouble with sleeping and common infections. It is a herbal product and is used to try and balance certain chemicals in the brain which improves your mood.
It is thought to effect serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline which function as neurotransmitters. They are chemicals in the brain that are linked to depression and anxiety. St John’s Wort should not be used at the same time as any other anti-depressants.
Some studies suggest that St John’s Wort works by preventing nerve cells in the brain from absorbing serotonin.
Other investigators have said to believe that St John’s Wort contains a chemical called Hypericin which is responsible for effects against depression, the same as Hyperforin and Adhyperforin. Hyperforin and Adhyperforin act on chemical messengers in the nervous system that regulate mood which may bring us out of depression.
