St. John's Wort |

Improve Your Mood Without Drugs!
St. John's Wort is one of today's most highly recognized herbs. Research indicates that
it plays a role in mood enhancement and maintaining a healthy, positive mental outlook. Many
physicians and physiatrists are recommending St. John's Wort rather than prescribing anti-depressant and other mood-altering
drugs for their patients. Not long ago, experiments were done where mice infected with viruses similar to HIV were given
St. John's Wort extract. The virus' progress was halted. This led to testing on
human HIV and AIDS patients. The results are inconclusive, though anecdotal information reports a significant improvement in some patients.
St. John's Wort contains hypericin that inhibits monoamine oxidase, a bodily chemical associated
with depression. It appears that hypericin does not act alone. Like many herbal medicines, St. John's Wort relies on the complex interplay of many constituents
for its antidepressant actions. Patients suffering from depression received relief, increased appetite, more interest in life, greater self-esteem and
restoration of normal sleeping patterns.*

Precautions:
Dr. Donald Brown of Bastyr University recommends that persons with fair skin avoid exposure to
strong sunlight and other sources of ultraviolet light when taking St. John's
Wort because of some cases of photosensitivity that have been reported. He also
advises avoiding foods that contain
tyramine (click for list of foods with tyramine), alcoholic
beverages, and medications such as tyrosine, narcotics, amphetamines, and
over-the-counter cold and flu remedies while taking St. John's Wort. St. John's Wort should not be taken while also taking prescription antidepressants. It is
also Dr. Brown's opinion that St. John's Wort should not be used during
pregnancy or lactation. According to
Jonathan Zuess, MD (author of The Natural Prozac Program), tyramine seems to primarily be a problem if a person has
high blood pressure. |
