Because of its frequent use in aiding a variety of mood disorders, St. John’s Wort is one of the most well-known and extensively researched botanicals in this country and abroad. The German government has even allowed therapeutic claims for the use of St. John’s Wort in relieving depressive states, fear and/or nervous disturbances. Recent research suggests that the antidepressive effect of St. John’s Wort may largely be due to its ability to inhibit the reuptake of serotonin and other neurotransmitters including norepinepharine and dopamine. This leads to a significant down-regulation of the adreno-receptors, which receive catecholamines and serotonin receptors. The PDR for Herbal Medicine states the following on St. John’s Wort: “The antidepressive action not only results from the effect on the adrenergic transmitter system (norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin), but also from an endocrine effect (melatonin).” In addition to the research done on St John’s Wort for mood disorders, this botanical has also been used traditionally to assist with wound healing and as an antiviral. Its reported antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties have been traditionally used to heal cuts, scrapes, bruises, burns, and wounds of all kinds with less scarring; as an anti-viral, research suggests that the Hypericin in St. John’s Wort interferes with the ability of viruses to reproduce. Core St. John’s Wort is a Spagyric remedy that can be used to complement any healing strategy that addresses mood disorders or neuroendocrine function, as well as overall healing and anti-viral support.
