This is one of the best plant medicine based anti-depressents out there! Brief History Historical information dating back to 400 B.C. tells the story of hypericum and its medicinal and spiritual evolution. The ancient Greeks and Romans noted that St. John’s Wort was used for such things as snake or reptile bites, menstrual cramping, gastrointestinal distress, ulcers, depression or melancholy, superficial wounds, or sciatica. Writings during the 19th century continued to incorporate hypericum for the treatment of melancholia or as we know it today, depression. Some of these reported medicinal actions of St. John’s Wort have now been scientifically verified by double-blind studies, only to prove what the ancients knew all along. www.herballegacy.com How Do I Use It?
