What is St. John’s Wort Extract?
St. John's Wort is named after St. John the Baptist, whose feast day (24th June) occurs when the plant is in full bloom. St. John's wort is widely used in Europe, especially Germany, as an herbal treatment for depression. Its therapeutic use has been growing in other parts of the world over the last two decades. German GPs (general practitioners, primary care physicians) commonly prescribe the herb for some patients with depression, especially adolescents and children.

Health Benefits of St. John’s Wort Extract
St. John's wort has been tested for the following conditions:

Depressive disorder:
For the last twenty or so years St. John's wort has been extensively studied in Europe, while US studies have occurred more recently. For the treatment of mild-to-moderate major depression, studies lasting up to 12 weeks (short-term studies) indicate that the herb is more effective than a dummy drug (placebo), as well as being as equally effective as TCAs (tricyclic antidepressants).

Although studies comparing St. John's wort against SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), such as Prozac (fluoxetine) or Zoloft (sertraline) have so far been more limited, there is some evidence that the herb may possibly be just as effective, and also with fewer side effects.

Anxiety disorder:
There are many doctors in Europe who say St. John's wort helps patients with anxiety disorders.
