Traditionally used as a wound healer due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and astringent properties. It is also helpful internally in cases of neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatic pain, as well as anxiety and tension. More recently, St. John's Wort has become popular as an antidepressant, with research supporting this use. It supports the nervous system, and is thought to optimise the levels of neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin.

PHYTOTHERAPY
PHYTOTHERAPY
St. Johns Wort
Hypericum perforatum herba (flowering aerial parts) contains phloroglucinols such as hyperforin, together with naphthodianthrones (hypericin, pseudohypericin) and a supporting flavonoid/phenolic matrix.¹,² Experimental work with standardized extracts highlights hyperforin as a key contributor to antidepressant-like activity via non-selective inhibition of neurotransmitter uptake, affecting serotonin, noradrenaline, dopamine, GABA and glutamate transporters in vitro, as well as interacting with certain receptor systems and ion channels.¹
EMA monograph data describe well-characterised dry and liquid extracts prepared from the aerial parts and emphasize that hyperforin-containing preparations can induce cytochrome P450 (notably CYP3A4) and P-glycoprotein, with consequences for the metabolism and transport of co-administered medicines.²
