St. John’s Wort is used to promote emotional health and maintain normal mood. It is found in Europe and the United States. It is especially abundant in northern California and southern Oregon. The above-ground (aerial) parts of the plant are gathered during the flowering season.
St. John’s Wort is a prescription anti-depressant in Germany, and is prescribed more frequently for depression than any other drug. In ancient Greece, St. John’s Wort was used to treat many ailments, including sciatica and poisonous reptile bites. In Europe, St. John’s Wort was used by herbalists for the topical treatment of wounds and burns. It is also a folk remedy for kidney and lung ailments, as well as for
depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Although its effectiveness for other ailments has not been proven, St. John's Wort has also been used to treat sleep disturbances, gallbladder disorders, gastritis, bronchitis, asthma, diarrhea, bed-wetting, rheumatism, muscle pain, and gout.

St. John’s Wort appears to be effective at relieving mild to moderate depression, without the side effects of Prozac or some of the other antidepressant drugs. Although St. John’s Wort is reported to be a natural, herbal alternative for some
of the antidepressant drugs, it should be stressed that it is for mild to moderate depression, which should be diagnosed by a practitioner. Give St. John’s Wort for several weeks to see the best results.
How Much St. John’s Wort Should I Take?
Talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse about how much St. John's Wort you should take. The amount depends on the strength of the medicine and the reason you are taking St. John's Wort.
The standard recommendation for mild to moderate depression is 500–1,050mg of St. John’s Wort extract per day. Results may be noted as early as two weeks, but six weeks is a more typical time period for results to become evident. Length of use should be discussed with a healthcare professional. For more severe depression, higher intakes may be used, under the supervision of a healthcare professional..
