Does St Johns Wort Helps to Relief Depression? Posted: 04-16-07 06:46am
Hello
I am Zack..24 years old. I suggested by my
friend that a supplement called St johns
wort is a effective treatment of
mild-to-moderate depression. I found it
from a company called Simply supplements . I
bought it yesterday but haven’t used it.
I like to get some advice from you who
used this product before.

Hi Sack
From what I know about St John wort.. It
is a calming herb. I an not sure if it
will help with depression, But I would
think being calm would be a good state of
mind.

St Johns Wort can help with depression but
you need to make sure you do not take it
with any other anti depressents. It is a
natural form of an anti depressent. Speak
with your local pharmisist ir Dr and they
should be able to give you some advice.
I found a site for you. I dont know how
useful it will be but you way want to give
it a read
St Johns Wort is very effective, there are
studies to prove it too, you can look them
up on PubMed.
Best to get professional guidance about
dosage though, and it needs to be taken
consistently, and not with other
anti-depressants as Akkette said.
