HYPERICUM EXTRACT

DEPRESSION & ANXIETY, ANTIVIRAL, VULNERARY

 

St John’s Wart (Hypericum Perforatum) is one of our superstar rongoā for 2022 – her swathes of bright yellow putiputi heavily tasked with infusing some sunshine into our lives this year.

 

Hypericum is an incredibly versatile rongoā that can boost mood levels and provide relief from depression, anxiety, nervous irritability, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social phobia, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), pain relief, viral infections, tiredness, loss of appetite, menopause and trouble sleeping.


Topically Hypericum is widely used as a vulnerary for wound healing of cuts, scrapes and punctures; and to soothe and heal the perineum after birth.

Hypericum also supports a healthy inflammation response, treating tired muscles, minor bruises and strains. Current research suggests Hypericum may also counteract the pro‐inflammatory effects of various cytokines.

 

However extra care must be taken when using Hypericum - serious interactions with commonly used medications can occur, making some medications less effective while making others stronger.  If you are on medication, it is imperative you advise your healthcare provider, so they can review your medications to see if there could be any problems.
