St. John's Wort has recently been receiving national recognition as a natural antidepressant equal in results to the popular drug known as Prozac, yet without the side effects associated with drug antidepressants.
The chemical makeup of St. John's Wort is exceptionally diverse and complex. Its actions are equally diverse, including antidepressant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.
St. John's Wort contains dianthrone derivatives hypercin and pseudohypercicin, flavonoids, xanthones, phenolic carboxylic acids, essential oils, tannins, carotenoids, alkanes, and phloglucinol derivatives. Researchers have confirmed that components contained within St. John's Wort do indeed alter brain chemistry in such a way that improves mood. It should be noted that this potent extract should not be taken in conjunction with antidepressant drugs. Depression is a condition requiring professional diagnosis and treatment, and St. John's Wort should not be taken by individuals with severe depression.
