St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) has become extremely popular in the past few years
for easing depression. It has been use for centuries to treat depression and has been proven
to be as effective as pharmaceutical antidepressants but without the negative side effects
such as anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, and nausea. St. John's wort also helps to relieve insomnia,
which often accompanies depression For the most consistent results, take an extract of St.
John's wort standardized to contain 0.3 percent hypericin, which is recognized as the active
ingredient. Take 300 milligrams three times per day. It usually takes one or two months of
regular use to produce the desired mood-elevating effect, but the same is true for
prescription antidepressants. If you are currently taking antidepressant medication, consult
with your doctor before taking St. John's wort because the herb may intensify the effects of
the drug. Work with your doctor to gradually make the transition to St. John's wort by
gradually tapering off your antidepressant medication. Avoid intense sun exposure while taking
St. John's wort, because although it is unlikely, the herb may cause skin photosensitivity.
