St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a long-living perennial plant with yellow flowers. It contains many chemical compounds, including the active ingredients hypericin and hyperforin. Hypercin is believed to have the ability to naturally support our brain's serotonin production. As a result, it may be beneficial in providing the balance needed to maintain a positive mood naturally without side effects. St. John's Wort has been used for centuries to treat mental disorders as well as nerve pain. In ancient times, doctors and herbalists wrote about its use as a sedative and treatment for malaria as well as a balm for wounds, burns, and insect bites. Today, St. John's wort is often used to help balance mood, encourage feelings of calmness, and even support healthy sleeping patterns. How the herb's compounds actually work in the body is not yet known, but several theories have been suggested. Preliminary studies suggest that St. John's Wort might work by preventing nerve cells in the brain from reabsorbing the chemical messenger serotonin, or by reducing levels of a protein involved in the body's immune system functioning.
