St. John’s Wort is most commonly used to treat for mild to moderate depression and conditions that sometimes go along with depression such as anxiety, tiredness, loss of appetite and insomnia. The main components of St. John’s Wort are Hypericin and Hyperforin which are responsible for its effects against depression. Although the exact mechanism of action of St. John’s Wort is unknown but it may inhibit the reuptake of Serotonin and Noradrenaline, inhibit Monoamine Oxidase (MAO), up-regulate Serotonin receptor, and reduce depression.
