How does St. John's Wort work?

There is little doubt that Hypericum works by influencing the neurotransmitters in the brain.
The substances responsible for this action are thought to be hypericin and hyperforin.
However, it is widely accepted that the action of the herb cannot be assigned to a specific constituent, but is rather the balanced effect of all the substances within the plant.
It has also been suggested that the action of Hypericum is mediated through the reduction in the number of serotonin receptors.
Hypericum has also been found to contain flavonoids which possess analgesic action in those suffering with nerve pain, e.g. neuralgia, shingles and sciatica.

Ingredients in Hypericum (St John's Wort) tincture:
Tincture of organically grown fresh flower heads of St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum), extracted in alcohol (66% v/v).

Ingredients in Hypericum (St John's Wort) tablets:
Extract of organically grown fresh Hypericum perforatum (St John’s Wort) flower heads. Also contains microcrystalline cellulose, maize starch, soya polysaccharide and hydrated cottonseed oil. Each 275mg tablet contains the equivalent of 1000mg of fresh Hypericum perforatum providing 330mg of hypericin.

In recent years, the incidence of depression has been on the increase.

Hopelessness, dejection, loss of self esteem, difficulty in concentrating and sleep disturbance are some of the features associated with depression.

Hypericum, if taken over a longer period of time, has a beneficial effect on mild to moderate depressive states without the potential for addiction, and with virtually no side effects.

SADs are depressive disorders triggered by an imbalance in the neurotransmitters found in the brain, probably resulting from a lack of sunlight.

Restrictions for use:

Hypericum (St John's Wort) preparations may interfere with certain prescribed medication.

Patients on prescribed medication should therefore consult their doctor or pharmacist before using Hypericum. Patients currently taking Hypericum who are subsequently prescribed medication or buy medicine from a pharmacy, must tell their doctor or pharmacist that they are taking Hypericum.

Exposure to the sun while taking Hypericum may result in a skin reaction. This is more common when Hypericum is applied externally.
