Feature Summary

St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a long history of medicinal use going as far back as the first century when Ancient Greek physicians relied on its healing properties. St. John’s Wort is traditionally used in herbal medicine as a calmative to help relieve restlessness and nervousness. It is also used in herbal medicine to help relieve sleep disturbances associated with mood imbalance. Modern science now confirms that St. John’s Wort affects the nervous system and has identified hypericin and hyperforin as key active compounds involved in many of its benefits.
HerbalFactors St. John’s Wort is derived exclusively from the herb’s flowers, which contain more hyperforin than any other part of the plant.
