St John's Wort Alcohol Extract

What Is Hypericum perforatum?
Hypericum perforatum, known as Perforate St John's-wort, Common Saint John's wort and St John's wort,[note 1] is a flowering plant in the family Hypericaceae. The common name "St John's wort" may be used to refer to any species of the genus Hypericum. Therefore, Hypericum perforatum is sometimes called "Common St John's wort" or "Perforate St John's wort" in order to differentiate it. It is a medicinal herb with antidepressant activity and potent anti-inflammatory properties as an arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor and COX-1 inhibitor.

Main Function :
1.St John's wort is widely known as an herbal treatment for depression. It is proposed that the mechanism of action of St. John's wort is due to the inhibition of reuptake of certain neurotransmitters.
2.St. John's wort is also being studied for anxiety because, in some studies on depression, people taking St. John's wort also reported an improvement in anxiety.
3.St. John’s wort has also been suggested as a possible treatment for OCD because the same medications (antidepressants) are often used for OCD, and because of promising results from a preliminary study. A later study on St. John's wort, however, didn’t find it more effective than a placebo for OCD.
4. Some alternative practitioners recommend St. John's wort for ear pain due to an ear infection (otitis media).
5.St. John's wort is being explored for smoking cessation. Although promising, well-designed studies are needed.
