Pericon/St. John's wort

Mild to moderate depression: St. John's Wort is most recognized for its potential to help with symptoms of mild to moderate depression. Some studies suggest it can be as effective as some conventional antidepressants, possibly with fewer side effects. However, its effectiveness for severe depression is not clear.
Menopause symptoms: Research suggests St. John's Wort, sometimes in combination with other herbs like black cohosh, may help alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and mood swings.
Skin irritations and wound healing: When applied topically (e.g., as an oil or cream), St. John's Wort has been traditionally used to aid in healing minor wounds, burns, bruises, and skin conditions like eczema. It's believed to have anti-inflammatory and vulnerary (wound-healing) properties.
Anxiety: While some people use St. John's Wort for anxiety, the evidence is less conclusive than for depression. Some studies suggest it might have a positive effect on emotional processing, which could be helpful for some individuals with anxiety.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): St. John's Wort might help reduce symptoms of PMS, such as mood swings, fatigue, and hormonal imbalance.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Some evidence suggests it may be helpful for SAD, also known as the "winter blues".
