How to Heal Depression with St John's Wort (Hypericum) - the Miracle Herb.
St John's wort (Hypericum) has recently emerged as one of the most effective treatments for depression. With few side-effects, this herbal antidepressant uniquely affects the transmission of three chemicals in your brain - seratonin, norephinephrine and dopamine. It can help relieve mild to medium-level depression, seasonal affective disorder, and even PMS.
Available over the counter, St John's wort is becoming increasingly popular. However, Dr Rosenthal emphasises that self medication can be a risky business and he helps you recognise at what points it is imperative that you seek medical help.
