Description
This sunny herb of the solstice is well known for easing the big sad (1), but can do so much more! St. John’s has also traditionally been used to sooth unease and frayed nerves, sleeplessness, and fear. Scientific studies also show St.John’s can reduce nerve pain (2). St.John’s has also traditionally been used as an anti-viral herb for shingles, herpes, chicken pox, and hand foot and mouth(3). It is a powerful liver cleanser and therefore should not be used in combination with pharmaceutical drugs that need to stay in the body long-term such as anti-depressants, anti-rejection medications, and birth control.
