St John's Wort

St John's Wort is a traditional Western herbal remedy long used to support emotional wellbeing and ease nervous tension and restlessness. It's traditionally used to help relieve mild anxiety, support healthy mood balance, and ease mood swings associated with premenstrual tension, alongside supporting nerve comfort and easing occasional nerve-related discomfort. Alongside these traditional uses, laboratory research has also identified antiviral properties in St John's Wort's active compounds, and some studies suggest it may support better sleep quality, potentially linked to its effect on the body's natural melatonin production at night. St John's Wort can interact with a number of common medications, including antidepressants, oral contraceptives, and blood thinners, so if you're taking any prescription medication, please talk with us.
