St. John's Wort by Eagle Peak Herbals: This herb is known for its antidepressant, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory effects. It has been used as an alternative for some antidepressant drug therapies, is a catalyst for the immune system, and can aid in decreasing pain and swelling in joints and muscles.
Recent research has shown that St. John's Wort causes the liver to produce an enzyme that breaks down drugs. This can be both beneficial and detrimental (see caution below) depending on the situation. It can be used beneficially AFTER DRUG THERAPY to help the body detoxify.
Caution: Do not take St. John's Wort if currently taking necessary medications or just prior to surgery. May cause photosensitivity in light skinned individuals. Avoid much direct sun exposure if taking therapeutic amounts of St. John's Wort.
