This full spectrum extract contains all the active constutients that make it work (i.e. Hypericin alone is not anti-depressant). 21.5 drops eequals one 300 mg pill of .3% standardized St John's Wort, but works much better with the other naturally occuring constituents.
St. John's Wort is indicated for mild to moderate depression. It is safe and can be used long term. It typically can take from 2-6 weeks for the benefits to be felt.
While the exact mechanism is unknown as to how it works, it is suspected to be like a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor or a selective seretonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication. St. John's Wort increases the neurotransmitter serotonin, which helps transmit a neurological response that makes one feel good. It is safe if taken with other anti-depressants.
St. John's Wort also calms down nerve endings. It has a long history of being used for muscles and neurological pain including fibromyalgia, bursitis, injuries, and athletic injury. It also calms down nerve endings to help prevent herpes (cold sores, genital, shingles) from erupting. It can be used in pregnancy to prevent genital eruptions that results in C-sections.
It also has a long history for healing soft tissue from burns. Use orally and topically in oil form.
Caution: May potentiate pharmaceutical MAO-inhibitors. Check with ones doctor to see if St. John's Wort is appropriate if they are on medications or if severely depressed.
