St Johns Wort (Depression)

Also known as Hypericum, Amber and Klamath weed, St. John's Wort has gained significant attention in recent times, due largely to its anti-depressant quality. However, it has a long history of usage, both as a healing herb and as a magical herb with protection qualities. It's an extremely effective mood enhancer in cases of mild depression and is effective for pre-menstrual mood-swings. However it is less effective for more severe depression or depression associated with other psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder.
